Moxibustion
What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is referred to in the same term as acupuncture. I use indirect thermal heat from burning small pieces of refined mugwort herb on an acupoint or an area on the body to stimulate and alter cell activity, blood flow, pain perception and muscle state.
It stimulates the body’s natural healing process, reduces pain and inflammation. It is a safe intervention for lower back pain, stiffness of the neck, frozen shoulder and arthritis. It is especially beneficial for musculoskeletal symptoms, fatigue, digestive issues, immunity, colds and supplements the body where there is a deficiency of heat.
The benefits of moxibustion is that it warms the body, promotes circulation, treats frequent illness and basically rectifies imbalances in one’s system. It is an effective pain relief as an adjunct to Integrative Acupressure.
