Moxibustion
This application includes the use of mild heat from the "Moxa"
Wood - the compressed dried leaves of Chinese mugwort. This
has the effect of stimulating an acupuncture point using focussed
heat either with or instead of acupuncture needles, it has
a potent invigorating effect on the body, warming the channels,
relieving the disharmony mostly caused by cold conditions
in the body, and helping heal the body. The "Moxa"
herb is a very relaxing herb, but has a stimulating effect
when placed on the acupuncture needles. It is widely used
as an integral part of an acupuncture treatment. |
