Try the Spa Moments' moxibustion therapy using 'moxa' stick. Moxibustion is an ancient therapy which involves the burning of specific herbs at certain parts of the body. Moxa stick is composed of dried herbs, rolled up tightly and wrapped in paper forming a cigar-like stick.How is it done?
The moxa stick is held in one place, rotated in circles, or 'pecked' in a motion similar to a sparrow pecking at food over certain parts of the body. The therapist places a finger next to the point being stimulated to maintain a comfortable level of heat and to guard the client from the unlikely risk of burn. The moxa stick is held approximately half an inch from the skin.
What is it for?
Moxa is believed to be beneficial in blood circulation, asthma, cold, flu, arthritis, abdominal pain, and other diseases.
