Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of a dried herb, usually mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), near specific acupuncture points on the body. This practice is believed to stimulate these points and promote the flow of vital energy, or Qi, within the body.

Moxibustion is commonly used in conjunction with acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine practices.

Despite its long history of use, scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness is limited, and further research is needed to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Individuals considering moxibustion should consult with a trained practitioner to ensure its safe and appropriate application.
