What is moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near specific acupuncture points on the body. The heat generated from burning moxa stimulates these points and promotes healing. Moxibustion can be performed in various ways, including direct (placing moxa directly on the skin) or indirect (holding moxa above the skin) methods.
The working principles of moxibustion include:
Warming and Invigorating Qi: In traditional Chinese medicine theory, moxibustion is believed to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body's meridians or energy pathways. This helps to remove blockages and restore balance, promoting overall health and well-being.
Enhancing Blood Circulation: The heat generated during moxibustion increases blood flow to the treated area, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
Boosting Immune Function: Moxibustion is thought to enhance the body's immune function by stimulating the production of white blood cells and antibodies, helping to defend against infections and illness.
Alleviating Pain and Discomfort: Moxibustion can help relieve pain and discomfort by reducing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
Moxibustion is commonly used to treat a variety of health conditions, including pain, digestive disorders, menstrual irregularities, and immune system imbalances
