How to use the stand for moxa?

The stand should be placed on the selected acupuncture point. Moxa should be placed on the metal mesh and shaped into a cone, then ignited (e.g. with an incense).

To strengthen the effect of moxa, it is good to place a slice of ginger, onion or garlic under the moxa cone.

When the moxa burns out, the stand should be removed carefully in a way that the hot ash doesn't fall onto a patient's body.

When is Moxatherapy applied?

Moxatherapy, also known as moxibustion or thermopuncture, is a traditional Chinese medicine procedure that involves heating acupuncture points with the help of burning moxa. Heating the points in a specific way is designed to stimulate the flow of Qi vital energy in the meridians: unblocking its stagnation, dispersing excesses or harmonizing disturbances. Moxatherapy is sometimes used as a supplement for acupuncture, but it can also be successfully used separately.
