Moxibustion

Moxibustion involves the burning of a herb called Mugwort. The moxa comes in various forms but is usually burnt to provide a warming treatment to the body which expels cold and increases blood and qi flow.  The bitter & acrid aspects of Mugwort help to break stagnation, clear phlegm, and rectify the qi and blood.

Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi.
