Also known as moxa, moxibustion has been used alongside acupuncture for millennia. This is carried out by burning the herb Artemisia vulgaris latiflora close to or on your body to warm and nourish your Qi.
Moxa is used to warm you up when you have a condition that is ‘cold’ in nature such as a painful joint, a cold lower abdomen or an aching, cold lower back. Moxa can also nourish your qi and blood to warm and strengthen your energy when you feel depleted.
