What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A stick or cone of mugwort is placed directly on the skin, or indirectly above the skin on acupuncture points and affected areas of the body. When the mugwort is lit, it provides heat that penetrates slowly to stimulate the qi or strengthen the blood flow of the affected meridian. This modality has far reaching therapeutic properties that affect the whole person’s wellbeing.
The only downside to moxibustion is the smell! Some people think it smells a little like marijuana, but I assure it, its not!
