Moxibustion - A Traditional Therapy Revitalized for the Modern Era

Ai Jiu (Moxibustion) is a traditional Chinese therapy with a history spanning over 2,500 years. It involves burning Ai Cao (Artemisia or Chinese mugwort) on specific acupuncture points to stimulate blood circulation and restore balance within the body. Ai Jiu not only helps relieve pain but also strengthens the immune system and promotes overall wellness, offering a natural and safe approach to health care in today’s world.

The Unique Charm of moxibustion
There are two main methods of performing moxibustion

     1.  Direct Moxibustion – A stick of Chinese mugwort is placed directly on the acupuncture point, generating heat to stimulate circulation.
     2.  Indirect Moxibustion – The mugwort is burned above the skin or on an acupuncture needle, reducing the risk of burns while allowing heat to penetrate the acupuncture point effectively.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the heat from moxibustion can warm the meridians, dispel cold, and promote the flow of blood and energy (Qi). The aroma of the burning mugwort also provides a relaxing effect, reducing stress and enhancing focus.

Wide-Ranging Health Benefits

Modern research and clinical practice have shown that moxibustion can:
     •  Relieve chronic pain, such as arthritis, back pain, and menstrual cramps
     •  Improve digestive function and metabolism
     •  Restore body and mind balance, reduce stress, and enhance concentration
     •  Strengthen the immune system and support individuals with cold or weakened constitutions

Safety and Modern Practice

Although moxibustion has a long history, modern practice emphasizes safety. Indirect methods or specialized tools are commonly used to control the temperature, preventing burns while ensuring effective results.

Moxibustion combines ancient wisdom with contemporary health concepts. It not only alleviates discomfort but also harmonizes body and mind, making it suitable for both daily wellness maintenance and support in managing chronic conditions. Today, moxibustion is experiencing a resurgence as a favoured natural therapy for modern health-conscious individuals.
