Moxibustion
Introduction
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.
