What is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of dried mugwort (a small, spongy herb) near or on the surface of the skin at specific acupressure points. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture, massage, and other traditional Chinese medical practices to promote healing and balance within the body. Moxibustion is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which views the body as a complex system of energy pathways (meridians) through which Qi (vital energy) flows. By applying heat to specific acupressure points, moxibustion is believed to help stimulate the flow of Qi, promote the body’s natural healing processes, and restore balance and harmony within the body. Moxibustion can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, digestive disorders, respiratory disorders, menstrual cramps, and fertility issues. It is also commonly used as a preventive measure to maintain overall health and wellbeing. […]
