Moxibustion, also known as heat therapy, is one of the cornerstones of Traditional Oriental Medicine, and has been practiced for over thousands of years, before acupuncture even existed.
Moxibustion is the application of heat to acupuncture points or sensitive locations on the body. This warms and stimulates the blood, whilst encouraging qi circulation, removing present obstructions, and eliminates cold and dampness in the muscles and joints. Moxibustion is as such known as the treatment of choice for pain and stiffness, arthritis, frozen shoulder, and lower back pain. Other conditions that may also improve with Moxibustion include stomach pain, cold hands and feet, lack of energy, winter coughs, and colds.
Moxibustion therapy is an excellent substitute for those who are overly sensitive to needle stimulation, especially in children and the frail.
