Moxibustion is an important part of Chinese Medicine yet often not well known by the general public. Moxa, a form of mugwort, is burned similarly to incense and used to warm specific acupuncture points as part of the treatment. Recent research has highlighted the effectiveness of Moxa in Women's health. Studies have shown effectiveness in helping with menopausal symptoms, ovulation disorders and turning breech babies.
