Moxibustion is a herb that is commonly used in acupuncture and tui na to heat specific areas of the body.
It can be used on its own to activate an acupuncture point or channel, or directly on the needle to enhance a treatment.
Using moxa is an excellent way of heating the body and warming us in the cold damp British weather.
Having needles heated with moxa has often been described as a “warm hug!”
