Relax and Heal
Japanese Style acupuncture, also known as moxibustion, is a healing art and traditional Chinese medical practice which involves the burning of herbs (moxa) placed onto acupuncture points in the body to stimulate healing. The process is known as moxibustion, which literally means burning moxa. The practice of using moxa dates back to the Neolithic Era and was used by ancient physicians for both physical and mental illnesses. This is a good alternative if you wish to try a new type of acupuncture. It also has interesting benefits to offer.
Beneficial Properties
Moxa is made from the herb called mugwort. It is dried, crumbled, and then ground into a fine powder. The herb has been proven to have beneficial properties, which include Anesthetic, detoxifying, and harmonizing properties, Astringent and Vulnerary, Antibiotic, Antimalarial, and Analgesic.
Simple Step
This herb is burned as it is placed on acupuncture points in order to stimulate healing. It can also be used to help soothe symptoms of headaches and migraines. If you are having a stressful week, you may use your weekend to go to an acupuncture clinic and try the Japanese style. You will experience these benefits.
Good for Specific Parts of the Body
Moxibustion can be used on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. However, not everyone needs moxibustion, so it is important to know the difference between acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is a procedure that originated in ancient China. It is based on a theory of energy pathways called meridians. The theory behind this otherwise healing art is that disease is brought on when the energy of the body is blocked.
