Commonly called “moxa”, this is the process of burning a part of the mugwort plant over various areas of the body. I perform moxa in 2 ways, either by running a wand of moxa over the intended area or creating small cones or “rice grains” to be lit with incense and burned down until you can feel the heat. If you are asthmatic or sensitive to smoke, I do have a smoke free version that can be used in these cases. Moxa is implemented for a variety of issues from poor digestion to feeling cold or lack of energy to name a few.
