MOXA

Moxibustion is the therapeutic practise of burning moxa, which is a tinder made from the dried leaves of Artemesia vulgaris (commonly known as mugwort) on or near the skin. Thermal stimulation to specific areas of the body in order to restore function can be traced back over 2000 years. In practise, we generally use it to strengthen the immune system, warm the body, & promote circulation. Moxa has numerous benefits, and research into its properties covers changes in blood chemistry through to assisting with turning a breech-positioned baby.
