Moxibustion:

Picture
Moxibustion involves burning an herb close to specific points on the body in order to stimulate them. The goal is to increase tissue heat and improve blood circulation. It is used as a conjunctive therapy to acupuncture to help relieve pain, relax muscles. It is also used to enhance the immune system and help with female problems such as delayed menstruation and pain associated with it. Chinese medicine practitioners have used Moxibustion to help with breech pregnancy and delayed labor in combination with Acupuncture 
During the treatment, the Acupuncturist will ask you about the elevation in temperature to make sure it doesn't increase beyond the desired therapeutic level. You will be guided to what you should experience throughout the treatment.
