Moxibustion, or Moxa, is an external heat therapy that involves gently burning a Chinese medicinal herb Ai Ye (artemisia vulgaris, commonly known as mugwort) on or near acupuncture points or certain areas of the body.

Moxa is intricately connected with acupuncture treatment and is often used alongside acupuncture. Moxa gently warms and nourishes the body to encourage the system to harmonise back to a state of balance, equilibrium and health.
