What is moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) to stimulate specific acupuncture points on the body. It aims to improve the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood, and to restore balance within the body's yin and yang.
Moxibustion is believed to dispel cold, warm the meridians (energy channels), and promote healing, especially for conditions related to "cold" or "dampness," such as arthritis, digestive disorders, and menstrual pain. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic effect. Additionally, moxibustion has been traditionally used for turning breech babies in pregnancy .
