    Moxibustion is a form of Chinese medicine therapy that uses mugwort leaves burned near the skin's surface. There are three main methods - direct scarring which burns the skin, direct non-scarring which doesn't burn the skin, and indirect where heat is applied near the skin. Moxibustion stimulates blood circulation and triggers the body's natural healing response by targeting specific acupuncture points. It can treat conditions like back pain, arthritis, menstrual issues, infertility, coldness, digestive problems, numbness, and fatigue.

    herb that is believed to enhance healing with acupuncture. As such, the leaves are burnt close to the

    - BENEFITS OF THE THERAPY -


    In general, this stimulates blood circulation and triggers the body’s natural healing response. A skilled
    acupuncturist can target specific points on the body and apply the heat from moxibustion to bring
    about a biochemical response. In addition, warming certain points with the slow heat from the
    burning moxa produces a heat that can treat sore muscles. Specific health benefits of moxibustion can
    include:

     Expelling cold and dampness from the body


     Relieves back pain and pain from arthritis and menstrual camping
     Improving female health issues such as menstrual irregularity, infertility, and breech pregnancy
     Relieving male health problems such as impotence and poor sperm quality

    suffer from contagious viruses that circulate in winter
