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 to acupuncture, but it can also be successfully used separately.

How to apply Moxa Sticks?

Smokeless moxa stick is put into a special brass rolling tiger warmer which is used to heat specific acupuncture points or specific areas of the body. The moxa stick with a diameter of 4 mm fits small tiger warmers (marked as 6 mm). Alternatively, combusting moxa can be held in hand directly a few centimeters from the selected acupuncture point. Because the smokeless moxa doesn't emit intense smoke or smell it can be used in closed rooms.
