Moxibustion, also known as moxa, is made of the dried herb mugwort. It is used as an indirect warming technique used to stimulate acupuncture points and promote temperature balance in the body. This treatment stimulates the flow of qi and blood in the body and helps to maintain general health by tonifying the body. Moxibustion comes in many different forms such as loose, cone shaped, or solidified as a stick shaped into a cigar-like roll as well as smokeless. This technique is mainly used on people with stagnant and cold conditions as well to increase the vital energy and strengthen the blood.
