MoxibustionMoxibustion is a method whereby moxa pink (or other herbs) is burned above or on the skin at acupuncture points. The heat warms the Qi and blood in the channels and is therefore useful in the treatment of disease and the maintenance of health. Moxibustion can be used separately or as an accompaniment with acupuncture. Loose moxa wool can be shaped into cones or compressed into moxa sticks. The sticks or cones are lit and burnt close to the skin and acupuncture points. The wool can also be applied to the sterile filiform needles used for acupuncture and lit in order to use the technique called "warming needle".
