What is moxibustion and how it works?
Moxibustion is a form of therapy that entails the burning of mugwort leaves. This is a small, spongy herb that is burnt close to the skin’s surface using a stick or cone to apply heat. The heat generated through moxibustion can help to increase the flow of “Qi” or energy and strengthen the blood throughout the body. This happens through some pathways known as meridians. Chinese traditional medicine considers the stimulation of “Qi” or energy essential to help your body achieve health and wellness and maintain good health.

Your moxibustion therapist can apply the technique directly or indirectly. Indirect moxibustion is more common and also a safe option. In this approach, the burning moxa doesn’t come into direct contact with your skin. Instead, the practitioner holds it about one to two inches away from your body. Once the skin becomes warm and red, they will remove the moxa from near your skin. In other cases, the practitioner places the moxa on the acupuncture needle and ignites it. The moxa will burn on the needle until it's extinguished. The heat is transferred to the acupuncture point through the needle.
