Moxibustion is a powerful healing technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves burning mugwort (moxa) to stimulate Qi flow, strengthen blood circulation, and enhance overall health.
Types of Moxibustion:
Direct Moxibustion: Moxa is placed on acupuncture points and burned, with scarring (intense) or non-scarring (gentler) techniques.
Indirect Moxibustion: Moxa is held near the skin for a warming effect, often combined with acupuncture.
Benefits of Moxibustion:
Pain relief (back pain, arthritis, headaches)
Improved digestion (IBS, GERD, constipation)
Reproductive health (fertility, menstrual regulation, breech babies)
Boosts immune function and reduces cold symptoms
Who Can Benefit? Those with cold constitutions, slow metabolism, digestive issues, or stress-related ailments may find relief through moxibustion. However, it’s not recommended for diabetic patients due to reduced sensitivity to heat.
