Moxibustion involves the burning of mugwort herb close to the skin, near acupuncture points in order to warm and strengthen the body. While we do not perform moxibustion in the clinic due to some patients’ sensitivity to strong smells, we have moxibustion sticks available at the clinic and teach patients how to perform moxibustion themselves.
