Moxibustion

For conditions which, in Chinese medicine terms, are energetically cold, I may use the ancient technique of moxibustion as a part of your treatment. Moxa involves warming an acupuncture point with a dried mugwort herb (Artemisia vulgaris). The heat from the burning moxa stimulates the flow of qi (pronounced "chi"), or energy, through the body, which is believed to promote healing and wellness.
