Moxibustion

This modality is often used in conjunction with acupuncture when the patient’s condition is worsened by internal or external cold. Moxibustion involves using lighting the herb, Ai Ye (called Mugwort in English), so that this herb’s healing properties- along with the heat from the slowly-burning Moxa stick- help aid the patient in various ways, depending on what condition he/she presents with. This modality is very effective in conjunction with Acupuncture.
