The Moxa herb, mugwort, is used by TCM practitioners to warm regions* and acupuncture points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. Moxibustion (the process of burning Moxa) either on a needle or near the skin helps build the Qi and rid the body of excess moisture. It is often used to eliminate cold and dampness in the body.
It is most popularly recognized as a means to turn breech babies.
Patients usually enjoy this sensation of warmth and find it very relaxing!
*The heat never gets close enough to the skin to burn.
