Moxibustion is the slow burning of a plant material called moxa on strategic points on your body.  This helps increase the flow of the body's natural energy, also known as qi.  Moxibustion is a form of traditional chinese medicine that has been around for centuries.

WHAT IS MOXIBUSTION.

Moxibustion is a traditional chinese medicine practice where a licensed therapist burns moxa material, often made from Chinese mugwort, producing a unique form of very penetrating heat.

​

The smoldering moxa stick is held over specific areas, often, though not always, corresponding to certain acupuncture points. The glowing end of the moxa stick is held about an inch or two above the surface of the skin until the area reddens and becomes suffused with warmth.
