Nope, it’s not a cigar! It’s actually a traditional tool Dr. Kalli may use during acupuncture treatments.
Moxa, or moxibustion, uses the gentle heat from dried mugwort to warm specific acupuncture points.
So, when and why is it used?
Dr. Kalli may incorporate moxa when she wants to add warming, soothing heat to an acupuncture treatment, particularly when an area feels cold, tight, stiff, or uncomfortable. The warmth can help promote circulation and relaxation while complementing the acupuncture itself.
Think of it as giving your acupuncture treatment a little extra warmth and comfort. 🔥
And yes… that little smoky stick actually has a purpose!
