Moxibustion 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.
“Needle Insertion” is what most people associate with acupuncture. Needles are inserted at your body’s designated points, thereby inviting a multitude of favorable physiological effects besides pain relief.
The sensation of needle insertion varies from person to person. Some people experience a small pinch at the moment of insertion, while others experience nothing at all. At the site of the needle, you might notice a feeling of heaviness or tingling. This “Qi sensation” is a sign that the treatment is working, the immune system and blood flow is being influenced by the needle.
