Moxibustion
What is it?
Moxa, or the act of moxibustion, is a medicinal treatment part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used for thousands of years. Points and areas along the body are warmed with mugwort, an herb that has many benefits, such as: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, stimulates the central nervous system, increases circulation and coagulation (whichever is needed), facilitates natural labor, and is famously recorded as the herb to ‘eliminate hundreds of diseases’.
Benefits:
Moxa penetrates deeply into the muscles, relieving pain and tension and can help eliminate toxins from the body due to its effect on blood circulation. Because of its cold-expelling nature, it helps keep the body flowing smoothly, calmly, and unrestricted.
