This traditional treatment is often used alongside acupuncture.

Moxibustion is an external treatment that comes from traditional Chinese medicine. The practice involves a practitioner burning the herb moxa on or above the skin to stimulate specific acupressure points.

Moxibustion involves a dried herb（mugwort），being burnt near the surface of the skin and has very strong warming properties. The warmth gently invigorates the flow of qi (energy) and blood to help alleviate pain and/or dispel pathogenic factors.

Traditionally, moxibustion is used to treat cold, stagnant conditions and to stimulate and smooth the flow of blood and energy.
