Moxibustion

Your acupuncture treatment might include Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese Medicine therapy technique that involves mugwort burning (an herb) known as moxa. The purpose of this is to stimulate the flow of Qi, strengthen the blood, and maintain general health.

Since moxibustion generates heat, it can provide the body with many benefits, such as increasing blood flow and allowing oxygen to flow more freely to the tissues, muscles, and tendons. This can bring pain relief, increase circulation, and help boost the immune system.
