Moxibustion is a method of thermal stimulation that helps blood circulation in the blood and was used before acupuncture a thousand years ago.

Moxibustion is a therapy of treating disease by drying old mugwort and giving thermal stimulation to the affected area.

Moxibustion treatment is divided into direct and indirect methods depending on how the burning mugwork stick is used.

 

Direct bulbs touch mugwort sticks to the skin’s surface causing burns to local tissues, causing a secondary effective biological reaction after absorption of pyrolytic substances and antihistamine heating proteins in to the blood.

Indirect bulbs do not touch the skin, it maintains an appropriate temperature of 43 ~ 45 degrees for physiological activity to

increase blood flow and increase immunity by increasing lymphocytes and red blood cells.
