Moxibustion

Moxibustion (moxa) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of the herb Mugwort (Artemesia Vulgaris) over the skin to gently warm and facilitate healing. Moxa has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxa, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi, alleviate pain, and maintain general health.
