Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy that consists of burning the dried leaf on or above specific points on the body. This herb is known as mugwort, moxa, or Aì yè in Chinese medicine. It helps to warm areas of the body with the intention of stimulating circulation and lymphatic flow. It is most commonly used alongside acupuncture and helps to increase and balance the qi in your body. The scent of moxa is very distinct and many people find it to have a therapeutic and relaxing aroma.
