What is moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a method of traditional Chinese medicine.
It consists of heating acupuncture points with a stick or cone of moxa. The moxa is made from dried and powdered mugwort leaves.
Moxibustion effects
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.
