Moxibustion

"Moxa" is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant material, (Mugwort from the sage family), smolder near the proximity of the surface of the skin. Moxa invigorates the energetic pathways of the body. The term is derived from the Japanese herb “mogusa”, known as mugwort, and the Latin ” bustion” meaning burning. Used quite frequently in Tibetan Medicine.
