Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves warming a specific point using moxas and allowing the heat to penetrate through the skin. The term moxa is believed to originate from the Japanese word "Mogusa," which refers to a variety of mugwort, the plant from which moxas are typically made. They most often come in the form of sticks. It is the heat released by their combustion that stimulates the points.
Used alone or in combination with other treatments, moxibustion involves treating various pathologies through the effect of heat produced on the chosen point. Moxibustion helps to prevent or relieve issues such as rheumatic, joint, and muscular pain.
