A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
Moxibustion acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy technique involving mugwort burning, known as moxa. The purpose of moxibustion is to stimulate the flow of Qi (pronounced chee), strengthen the blood and maintain general health. Qi is translated as life energy. Moxibustion can provide many benefits because it generates heat.
The first advantage of moxibustion is that it can increase a person's temperature. People with autoimmune illnesses, weak immune systems, and blood circulation issues are typically chilly. The warming properties of moxa make it a brilliant therapy for these illnesses.
Moxibustion therapy is also a good choice for those whose jobs are known to aggravate their physical ailments. The warmth of moxa can be essential in bringing great relief to those afflicted with physical ailments. This pleasant heating sensation penetrates the skin, which increases blood flow, and can allow oxygen to flow more readily to the tissues, muscles, and tendons that are particularly affected.
Direct moxibustion is when a licensed physician like Dr. Annie Yang 杨 of Oahu Acupuncture Clinic in Aiea, HI lets you let out moxa in the shape of cones onto your skin. In The United States, more widespread is indirect moxibustion, where the burning moxa does not directly touch your skin. Moxibustion tends to be beneficial in cases where the disease results from cold pathogens or a qi yang deficiency. This encompasses:
Joint pain, Indigestion, Organ prolapse, Gastrointestinal issues, Menstrual cramps, Acute and Chronic pain, Sleep issues, Headaches and migraines, Stress / Anxiety, and Infertility.
It is also often used to correct breech positioning during maternity when a newborn is inserted feet- or bottom-first inside the uterus instead of head-first. Moxibustion has proved to be an efficient method to facilitate a baby's turn from becoming breech without needing to seek medical assistance.
WHAT IS A MUGWORT?
Mugwort, or artemisia, is a plant in the family Compositae, and it is used in making various dishes, such as Volksgruss (German Christmas goose), Jinchangui Jjimchi (Korean clam soup), and kusazuke (a Japanese dessert).
Mugwort, also called moxa, is the key element. Mugwort leaves are dried and ground into small pieces, called moxa (similar to incense), which are lit and used to warm the running points of your body and relieve specific conditions.
When receiving moxibustion, there are multiple benefits that a patient may experience. In most cases, a patient should feel a pleasant heating sensation and, along with the scent, create a nice feeling of relaxation while on the treatment bed.
