Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that
involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for
thousands of years; in fact, the actual Chinese character for acupuncture, translated literally, means "acupuncture-moxibustion."
The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the
flow of qi, and maintain general health.
