艾灸穴位灸

艾灸 is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning the herb mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) near certain acupressure points on the body. This practice is called “艾灸穴位灸”, which translates to “mugwort moxibustion acupoint therapy”.

The herb mugwort is known for its warming and therapeutic properties, and when burned during acupuncture, it is believed to increase the flow of Qi (life force) and blood in the body. This therapy has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over two thousand years, and is still widely practiced today.

During a “艾灸穴位灸” session, the practitioner will first select the appropriate acupressure points on the patient’s body. These points are carefully chosen based on the patient’s specific condition, and may include points on the head, arms, legs, or torso.

Once the acupressure points have been chosen, the practitioner will then light a small bundle of dried mugwort and hold it near the acupressure point. The patient may feel a warm sensation or a slight tingling as the mugwort is burned, but the process is generally painless.

The practitioner may move the mugwort around the acupressure point, or may leave it in place for several minutes. The therapy may be repeated on multiple acupressure points, depending on the patient’s needs.
