Moxibustion
Moxibustion (Moxa) is a comforting, deeply nurturing heat therapy designed to drive cold, dampness, and profound fatigue straight out of the body. By safely warming specific acupuncture points with dried mugwort, moxa delivers a rich, infrared heat that strengthens immunity, boosts circulation, and replenishes your vital Yang energy. It provides target pain relief, improve digestive health, boosts the immune system, and promote systemic circulation by applying thermal heat to specific acupuncture points.
Using moxibustion has been shown to be beneficial in healing injuries, clearing illness and enhancing general health.
Moxibustion has also been researched and known to turn breech babies between 34-37 weeks and it is one of my favorite things to do.
