What is Moxa?

Moxa is a therapeutic herb that can be used in conjunction with acupuncture to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and encourage healing. It's made into sticks or cones and used to provide heat to the body and relax muscles. Moxibustion, the practice of using moxa on acupuncture points, induces deep relaxation and can be especially helpful for conditions like frozen shoulders, back pain, and osteoarthritis. Additionally, moxa can be used to help turn a breech baby into a head-down position.
