Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a technique used in ancient Chinese medicine. Mugwort, called moxa by practitioners, is dried and ground into a fluff and then twisted into a stick. It is then burned near the patient's skin to warm specific pressure points to bring about healing effects by stimulating circulation to specific areas. It often used in combination with acupuncture. Moxibustion is considered to be particularly effective in turning breech babies to the proper birthing position.
