Moxibustion is a type of heat therapy that warms acupuncture points by the burning of the herb mugwort (moxa) close to the skin. The heat created from the burning moxa penetrates deep into muscle layers as well as warming the more superficial layers of the skin. Moxibustion can be helpful for improving circulation, boosting the immune system, relieving tension and stiffness in the muscles and joints, improving sleep and relieving menstrual pain.
At Jewell Health only smokeless moxa is used.
