This technique has been around for well over 2000 years, and has been written about extensively in the traditional literature, and is also the subject of quite a bit of modern scientific research.
Moxibustion is used to address a wide variety of health concerns, depending on the cause and the nature of the imbalance, and may include things like digestive distress, low energy, achy joints, weakened immunity, chronic musculoskeletal injuries that are improved with heat, low libido, swollen ankles, prolapses, feeling excessively cold, excessive uterine bleeding, fertility support, breech baby presentation, post-natal recovery after childbirth… and many other conditions.
