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 usually made. These are most commonly 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 consists of treating various pathologies thanks to the heat effect produced on the chosen point. Moxibustion helps prevent or relieve problems such as rheumatic, joint, and muscle pain.
