Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning a herb called mugwort (or moxa) near specific acupuncture points on the body. The heat generated from the burning moxa is believed to stimulate circulation and enhance the flow of qi (or energy), promoting healing and wellness. This practice is often used to treat various conditions, including pain, digestive issues, and menstrual disorders. Moxibustion can be performed in different ways, such as directly on the skin or indirectly using a moxa stick, and is sometimes combined with acupuncture for enhanced effects.
