Moxibustion (aka Moxa) involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, over acupoints on the body to facilitate healing. We use two forms of Indirect moxa; One is a moxa stick, roughly the size of a cigar, that is held close to the body to warm the tissues, and the second is stick-on moxa that uses a heat shield on an adhesive base to be placed over specific acupoints on the body.
