moxibustion

Moxibustion is more than 3,000 years old and was first practiced in cold climates to generate warmth or in the treatment of pain. It involves the application of heat to certain acupuncture points by heating a special tinder of dried herbs on or near the skin.

Moxibustion strengthens the body and enhances the effect of the acupuncture treatment. It is excellent for those suffering from fatigue and low energy, who have had little success with other methods/ techniques/treatments.
