TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE CLINIC

Moxibustion is a heat application applied to the acupuncture points, along the meridians, and in certain other locations on the body by means of moxa “cigars” prepared with the herb mugwart.

The use of moxa may be indirect, that's to say placed a few centimetres from the body, or direct, using small cones of moxa often prepared with a salt, garlic or ginger base.
