What is moxibustion:

It is true that moxibustion is a therapeutic method to ignite moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi, smoke and roast human acupuncture points, and then stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of human body by using the moxa heat generated by it, and adjust the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating menstrual activities, so as to achieve health care treatment.
Moxibustion was not invented by modern people. It has a long history and was produced in ancient China. Because its mechanism of action is similar to that of acupuncture therapy, and it has complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion are usually used together, so it is called acupuncture. Acupuncture has a far-reaching influence at home and abroad, but moxibustion has gradually faded out of people's sight, so modern people say acupuncture, often only refers to acupuncture, and rarely includes moxibustion.
