Moxibustion 

Moxibustion involves the focused application of warmth on the body by burning natural compressed mugwort leaf (Folium Artemisiae Argyi). Moxibustion is commonly given in two ways: by lighting moxa sticks, and using the heat to warm acupuncture points, or by lighting moxa cones that are placed onto the skin directly onto acupuncture points.

 

The warmth and energetic properties of the mugwort leaf is used to improve circulation, warm and relax tense muscles, relieve pain and promote relaxation and wellbeing.
