Moxibustion
About
Moxibustion, also known as moxa (dried plant material from mugworts) treatment is a traditional medical practice that once originated from China and hence spread to surrounding Asian countries. It is a form of heat therapy performed by burning moxa on designated points of the body, generally the same points as those used in acupuncture and acupressure. Its intent is to increase circulation “full-bloodedness” and to relieve pain. In modern practices, the herb is often crushed, wrapped specially and burned either while being held above specific areas or placed on the skin and removed before overheating occurs.
Benefits
Moxibustion is primarily used to target pain caused by injuries or chronic diseases such as arthritis which are often worsened when meeting cold climates. Such, which are eased with the application of heat. It has also seen instances of effectiveness against issues such as digestive problems, irregularity of digestion and bowel movements and low immunity.
Traditional practitioners who perform manual forms of therapy like acupressure and moxibustion believe when used together, amplify each other's effectiveness in aiding the autonomic nervous system.
