Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a treatment using Moxa, or Ai Ye in Chinese, and is known as Mugwort in western herbalism. The burning of this herb on or above the skin at certain acupuncture points stimulates the movement of Qi and Blood. It can be used alone or in combination with acupuncture. One of the nice things is that moxa can be given to the patient to use at home.

Smoke from the moxa is very calming. Although the smell is somewhat similar to marijuana, it has none of the effects or chemicals and is perfectly legal. It is useful for injures, pain, digestive problems, menstrual problems, cold, Qi and Blood stagnation. We have a wide variety of moxa forms available including: loose, stick, smokeless, liquid and fresh.
