Moxibustion in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy involves igniting moxa made from mugwort leaves to apply therapeutic heat to specific acupuncture points on the body. This natural therapy is used for health maintenance and disease treatment.
Benefits of Moxibustion
-
Harmonizes Yin and Yang
Balancing the body's Yin and Yang is fundamental to preventing and treating diseases. Moxibustion's reinforcing and reducing effects help achieve this balance. -
Warms the Meridians, Dispels Cold Pathogens
With its warming nature, moxa reaches deep into the muscles, promoting smooth Qi and blood circulation and relieving pain caused by stagnation. -
Dissolves Stagnation and Blood Clots
Moxibustion's warm stimulation harmonizes Qi and blood, facilitates the smooth flow of nourishing and defensive energies (Ying and Wei), and helps dissolve stagnation and blood clots.
