Moxibustion is a therapy using moxa made from dried mugwort (Artemisia argyi) and is often applied together with accupuncture.

 

We use moxa to warm regions and meridian points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. It can treat conditions associated with the "cold" or "yang deficiencies" in Chinese Medicine. 

 

Moxibustion mitigates against cold and dampness in the body. Moxibustion is also especially effective in the treatment of chronic problems and "deficient conditions" (weakness).
