Moxibustion is a method of burning, fumigating and ironing certain acupuncture points on the body surface with pre-prepared moxibustion sticks or moxibustion herbs, using heat stimulation to prevent and treat diseases. Mugwort is usually the most commonly used, so it is called moxibustion. There are also other methods such as medicine-partition moxibustion, willow moxibustion, wick moxibustion, and mulberry branch moxibustion.
