The main effects of moxibustion are:
- improved energy
- better circulation of Qi and Blood in the meridians
- pain relief
- better immunity.
How is moxibustion practiced?
Moxibustion is a complement to acupuncture. It is a method that can be chosen by the therapist to reinforce acupuncture.
The moxa stick is positioned near the point to be toned. The heat generated penetrates the meridian and tones the targeted areas.
The radiation, heat, smell and smoke released by the use of the moxa all act together to produce the therapeutic effect sought.
