Moxibustion, commonly called moxa, is a technique that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years by burning an herb called mugwort on or over specific acupuncture points on the body.

Mugwort is known to warm the channels, promote blood circulation, and stimulate the flow of qi in order to encourage health and well being. Moxa has been used in the treatment of various health issues, such as joint pain, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and gynecological conditions.
