Moxibustion is a “warming” technique using the herb mugwort or 艾草 in Chinese Medicine.  Moxibustion helps to increase blood circulation, tonify energy and stimulate digestive system function as well as boost the immune system. 

 

 

Moxibustion is used for a variety of health conditions. Since moxibustion is warm and dry it is used in certain health issues where there are deficiencies of energy such as chronic fatigue syndrome as well as certain types of IBS disorders and diarrhea. Moxibustion is very beneficial in treating arthritic conditions as well as joint pain when the pain is predominantly worse in cold or damp weather. Moxibustion is also used in woman’s health disorders such as infertility, ovarian cysts, and menstrual cramps. It is also beneficial in improving poor sperm motility and impotence.
