Do you feel like you are always cold? Or do you frequently get ill in winter? Maybe it is time to try some moxa!
With the weather turning colder, you’ll find me using moxa more frequently in clinic.
Moxibustion – or moxa for short – is a favourite in acupuncture therapies. As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, moxa has been used for thousands of years.
It involves burning an herb known as mugwort and applying it to specific points on your body. The moxa is placed either directly on the skin, or like here on a slice of ginger. Moxa sticks can be held over specific acupuncture points and gently lit up. The herb wonderfully warms the skin and acupuncture points.
Try it for yourself!
