What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a process in which the herb Artemisia
Vulgaris
(also called
mugwort or moxa) is applied to acupuncture points
or needles to create heat. To perform moxibustion, artemisia is
dried, pulverized and formed into the shape of small cones or
cigars. Moxibustion is quite effective in treating sensitivity to cold.
