Moxa

Moxibustion, (moxa for short), comes in many forms, but is essentially rolled up mugwort (also called Ai Ye), a medicinal herb used all over the world.

​

In Chinese Medicine it’s used by burning the prepared herb near or on the body (using a protective barrier between the skin and the herb).​

 

It’s said that the release of heat from the herb, opens pores in the local area, and the medicinal properties being released into the air from the herb, enters the body.
