Moxibustion helps the body heal itself

Moxibustion isn’t a new practice. In fact, it’s pretty old. The practice evolved thousands of years ago in China. It is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that utilizes moxa – mugwort herb – to promote natural healing within the body. Combine that with colon hydrotherapy, and you’ve got quite a recipe for overall wellness.

How is it done?

Experienced practitioners use moxa to warm acupuncture points on the body. Moxa consists of dried leaves from mugwort or wormwood that’s formed into a cigar-like shape.

Practitioners then use direct or indirect moxibustion. Direct involves burning moxa onto the acupuncture point – the moxa cone is directly on the skin. But direct isn’t often used in the U.S.

Indirect involves burning the moxa above the skin or on the top of an acupuncture needle.

This stimulates circulation and promotes blood flow. It also restores the balance and flow of energy throughout the body known as ch’i. The body naturally begins to heal itself due to improved overall blood flow, balance and wellness.
