Moxibustion (Moxa).

Moxibustion is a complementary treatment to acupuncture that uses heat therapy to warm and invigorate the flow of qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences. It’s a very warm, comforting practice, while being a highly potent treatment at the same time. Dried plant materials called "moxa", latin artemisia vulgaris (a member of the family to the common sagebrush in our native Colorado hills) are burned over the skin above specific meridian points to enhance the flow of qi, build deficient blood, eradicate pain and promote longevity. It is famously used in treatment for helping turn a baby in breech. While this powerful herb can get very hot, in practice, it never comes near enough the skin to cause burns.
