Moxotherapy
Cauterization, warming with mugwort cigars — moxotherapy — is a treatment method that has proven its effectiveness over thousands of years.
Already in ancient China and throughout the East, this procedure was used to drive out illness, "burning away the disease," as ancient physicians would say.
During the session, warmth is felt, along with an inflow of blood and energy to the affected area. The location and duration are determined by the doctor after diagnosis. As a rule, the cigar is placed on active points, as well as areas of spasm and painful zones in the spine and joints.
Thermal stimulation of points works similarly to acupuncture
it activates the flow of blood and Qi energy along the meridian, improves blood supply to organs and joints, and fills the entire body with warmth. This method eliminates accumulations of dampness and wind from the body. The smoke from the cigar has a beneficial effect, as mugwort has disinfecting, calming and relaxing properties. The method is contactless — the skin is reliably protected from smoldering particles.
Heat exposure on the joints during exacerbation of rheumatic diseases, arthritis and arthrosis at a deep internal level revives tissues, cartilage and bones. The heat penetrates deep into the joint, bringing relief. The principle of moxotherapy: We expel cold, dampness, and with them — disease. We return fire, warmth, and with them — health.
