The Dragon Formula for Acupuncture
Moxabustion is a form of heat therapy applied to specific acupuncture points. Your acupuncturist will burn a small quantity of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) either on the handle of the needle or indirectly over the skin. As a patient, you will experience a pleasant warming sensation. This technique is often utilized in winter time or with cold type symptoms to warm the body.
