Please describe the feeling and benefit of moxibustion?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Mugwort herb: Moxibustion is a traditional chinese medicine therapy using moxa, or mugwort herb. It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of china (including tibet), japan, korea, vietnam, and mongolia. Suppliers usually age the mugwort and grind it up to a fluff; practitioners burn the fluff or process it further into a cigar-shaped stick. They can use it indirect.

Heated Mugworth: Moxibustion cigars are smoldering mugworth which can be placed against skin or on needles. The feeling - many people find it incredible- the deepest sense of warmth they have ever experienced. Moxibustion can enhance the effect of acupuncture. Moxibustion without needles can be used for boils, carbuncles, skin infections, snake bites, insect bites, skin ulcers etc.
