Moxibustion

Moxibustion (Moxa) is one of the oldest healing techniques used in Chinese Medicine dating back thousands of years. Moxa is the Chinese Herb Ai Ye, commonly known as Mugwort. Moxa is used in conjunction with acupuncture treatments and is a form of heat that when placed over acupuncture points creates a stimulating healing effect. The heat is created by burning the mugwort leaves and applying it directly or indirectly over the body. People commonly report moxibustion to be very soothing and relaxing.
