Moxibustion

Sometimes used with acupuncture, moxibustion (moxa) is a form of heat treatment. It uses a particular herb which is lit and held over specific acupuncture points. This penetrates deeply into the area it is applied to, accelerating recovery, strengthening the body and dispersing dampnes, cold and pain. By promoting the flow of the Qi, it is able to remove stagnation while having a calming effect on the patient. Moxibustion is very effective for knee and lumbar and sacral pain that comes in cold, damp weather. It is also a good energy lift for tiredness. In the acupuncture article there is a photo of a knee being treated with a moxa cone, acupuncture and cupping.
