Moxibustion

Service Description

Moxibustion is another therapeutic method in traditional Chinese medicine, and it commonly goes concurrently with acupuncture. Used since about 500 BCE, moxibustion involves burning ground Mugwort herb or artemisia, a flowering plant in the daisy family. Mugwort leaves are dried and ground into small sticks or cones called moxa (similar to incense), which are then lighted and used to warm points on your body and relieve a variety of conditions. Moxibustion is usually good for cases where the disease is brought on by cold pathogens or certain deficiencies, and is typically used to treat joint pain, indigestion, organ prolapse, gastrointestinal issues, menstrual cramps, and infertility.
