Moxa therapy
What is Moxa therapy?
Moxa therapie is het verwarmen van acupressuurpunten met een Moxa stick. Een Moxa stick is een stok van geperst chinees bijvoetkruid (Artemisia vulgaris) welke veelvuldig gebruikt wordt in de chinese geneeskunde. De Moxa stick word boven een aantal acupressuur punten gehouden op je buik en je rug. De stick geeft zoveel warmte af dat het aanraken van de huid niet nodig is.
