General Questions
What is moxibustion? What is it used for?
-
Moxbustion is a warming technique where the application of heat is used to warm acupuncture points or sensitive locations on the body. Moxibustion warms and stimulates blood and qi circulation, removes obstructions in the body’s channels and eliminates ‘cold’ and ‘damp’ in muscles and joints. This is very effective in managing the symptoms of pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, lower back pain, frozen shoulder. Other conditions that respond to heat such as poor circulation, stomach pain and period pain are commonly treated with moxibustion.
