About Moxibustion
Moxibustion is an ancient practice of thermal/heat therapy utilizing the herb mugwort (Ai Ye). The mugwort leaves are dried and ground into a cotton-like substance that can be used therapeutically on or near the skin. It comes in several forms, including rice grain moxa, moxa cones, needle head moxa and as a moxa box. All have different therapeutic purposes and uses.
