Moxibustion involves the burning of mugwort near specific acupuncture points on the body. This can be done in two primary ways: direct and indirect. In direct moxibustion, a small amount of the herb is placed on the skin and burned. In indirect moxibustion, the herb is burned close to the skin but does not come into direct contact. The heat generated from the burning herb is believed to penetrate deeply into the body, promoting circulation and improving overall health.
