Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional therapeutic technique in which dried mugwort is burned on or near the body’s surface to stimulate specific acupuncture points. This practice aims to enhance the flow of Qi (vital energy) and maintain a balance within the body’s systems. Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Moxibustion in London is often used to alleviate pain, promote circulation, and address various health conditions.
