Moxibustion is traditionally a Chinese medicine technique that
involves the burning of mugwort, a small spongy herb, to facilitate
healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for thousand of
years. In fact, the actual chinese character for acupuncture when
translated literally, means “ acupuncture- moxibustion.” The purpose
of moxibustion , as with most forms of Traditional chinese medicine ,
is to strengthen the functions of blood, stimulate the flow of Qi, &maintain general health.
