Overview of Moxa Treatment
Moxa is a traditional Chinese and East Asian medicine treatment that involves the use of moxa, a dried herb made from the mugwort plant (Artemisia vulgaris). Moxa is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic effects of treatment.
In moxa treatment, a small amount of moxa is placed on an acupuncture point or near the skin and is then ignited, producing heat that is thought to stimulate the flow of qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital energy that is believed to flow through the body in Chinese medicine. Moxa treatment is believed to have a warming and tonifying effect on the body and is used to treat a variety of health conditions, including pain, digestive issues, and respiratory disorders, to name a few.
Moxa treatment is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. If you are interested in moxa treatment, it is important to speak with a qualified practitioner who is trained in its use.
