What Is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine heat therapy that uses a specific herb, mugwort, in the form of cones or sticks. The heat is directed over specific acupuncture points to stimulate the flow of qi and strengthen the blood.
The therapist lights the moxa and applies it either directly on the skin or indirectly, by holding it at a distance from the skin. At Physio Village it is part of our acupuncture treatment options.
