Moxa / Moxibustion
Moxa or Moxibustion is a variation of acupuncture and is one of the treatment methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is based on the idea that life energy called Qi flows through defined meridians throughout the body.
When thin acupuncture needles are inserted into certain points, the flow of life energy Qi can be improved if there is a blockage. In Moxibustion, no needles are used, instead a stick or cone of burning mugwort, (Artemesia vulgaris ) ,is placed over an inflamed or affected area. The slow combustion creates a mild pleasant warmth,
which stimulates the acupuncture points.The purpose is to warm, stimulate and strengthen the blood and the life energy of the body and is used for people who have a cold or stagnant condition.
