Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. Moxa, made from dried mugwort, is burned either directly or indirectly over areas of the body to alleviate pain and strengthen the immune system. Heat from Moxa cones or sticks stimulates points, which increases circulation to relieve pain. Moxibustion is used for: 

• Pain due to injury 
• Arthritis, specifically with conditions where the pain naturally feels better with the application of heat 
• Digestive disorders 
• Gynecological and obstetrical conditions, including breech presentation in late term pregnancy 
• Prevention of cold and flu
