Moxa

Moxa is a Chinese medicine technique, also known as moxibustion . This involves burning the tip of the stick near certain acupuncture points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy. It is used to relieve pain and promote healing.

The benefits: Relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, strengthen the immune system and promote relaxation. It can also be used for specific problems like back pain, menstrual pain, digestive disorders, infertility, etc.

Use: Light the tip and let it burn opposite the area to be worked at a distance of approximately 2 inches, approximately 3x 10-15 seconds per point.

Precaution: Smother the moxa immediately after use to extinguish it (in a mason jar or in earth), do not leave the stick lying around after use, do not be too close to the skin or touch the skin with the tip lit, pay attention to the accumulation of ashes on the stick to avoid burning yourself. Do not use if you suffer from loss of sensitivity.
