What is Moxibustion Heat Therapy?

Moxibustion is an oriental medicine therapy utilizing moxa, or mugwort herb. The mugwort is aged and ground to a fluff; practitioners burn the fluff or process it further into a stick. They can use it indirectly, with acupuncture needles, or sometimes burn it on a patient's skin.
