MOXIBUSTION

Improves the flow of qi and overall health.

Moxibustion is a technique of burning the herb mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris) above the skin. Moxibustion has been used in Asia for thousands of years and is frequently performed in combination with acupuncture. The Chinese character for acupuncture translates to "acupuncture-moxibustion." The mugwort herb promotes blood flow, stimulates the flow of "qi" and strengthens overall health.

CUPPING

THERAPY
