Moxa is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of dried mugwort, a herb known for its healing properties. The process typically involves rolling the herb into small sticks or cones, which are then ignited and held near specific acupuncture points on the body. This method is believed to promote healing by warming the area and enhancing the flow of Qi, or vital energy. Moxa is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to improve treatment outcomes for various conditions, such as pain relief and digestive issues. Practitioners may apply moxa directly on the skin or use it indirectly, allowing the heat to penetrate without direct contact.
