Moxibustion

Moxibustion is an Oriental medicinal therapy involving the application of heat to acupuncture points, which stimulates circulation and improves the flow of blood and qi. Heat is produced by burning an herb called mugwort, which can be applied directly or indirectly through an acupuncture needle. Moxibustion is considered especially effective at stimulating blood circulation to the pelvic area and uterus, and in the treatment of certain chronic conditions.
