Moxibustion

Picture
Moxa is produced from the dried and compressed leaves of the mugwort or Ai Ye plant. Moxibustion is a technique in which a cone of mugwort, is placed on or above an acupoint or affected area of the body. 

Moxibustion is used for:

  • Pain due to injury or arthritis, especially in "cold" patterns where the pain naturally feels better with the application of heat
  • Digestive problems and irregular elimination
  • Gynecological and obstetrical conditions, including breech presentation in late term pregnancy
  • Protection against cold and flu strains

It is not uncommon for patients receiving moxibustion to report a sudden flooding of warmth that quickly radiates along a specific pathway away from the site of application. This is a good result, as it indicates the arrival of the Qi and signals that the flow of Qi and xue has been freed in the channel.
