Moxa is a Chinese herb that is used to warm acupuncture points. Of the various forms of moxa available, the most popular and easiest to use is the cigar-like moxa stick. During treatment, the acupuncturist may light one end of the moxa stick and hold it close to the acupuncture point he or she wishes to treat.
