Moxibustion, also known as Moxibustion or moxa, uses warm moxa, or Mugwort herb, on specific acupuncture points and areas of the body to increase blood circulation and vital energy. Moxibustion may be used on specific areas of the body to enhance the healing of chronic injuries or more generally to enhance immunity, vitality, and overall health. Scientific research has shown that moxa can stimulate blood flow in the pelvic region and the uterus. Moxibustion is also considered useful in treatment of some deficient conditions and weaknesses.
