- Moxibustion or Moxa
-
Moxibustion is the stimulation of acupuncture points using heat, which is generated from the burning of the herb
Mugwort (Artemisia), on or near the skin. Moxibustion creates warmth where it is needed and strengthens the
activity of the Blood.
- Cupping
-
Commonly used for back pain, joint pain and upper respiratory problems, cupping is the application of suction
to the surface of the body. Cups are applied to the back or other affected areas, and can be left comfortably
in place along with the acupuncture needles for the duration of the treatment.
