Moxibustion

A traditional heat technique that uses dried mugwort.

What is moxibustion?

Moxibustion, often called moxa, is a traditional heat technique. It uses heat from dried mugwort to warm selected points or areas of the body. Your practitioner may suggest it during an acupuncture visit.

What does it feel like?

Expect to feel warmth in the area being treated. Tell your practitioner right away if it feels too hot. Mention any sensitivity to smoke or difficulty sensing heat before your visit so you can discuss what’s appropriate for you.
