Japanese moxa also known as direct moxa/moxibustion is a heat application treatment on the acupuncture points on skin directly with the use of a herb called "Moxa".
In moxibustion, usually a grain-size cone of moxa or dry yellow spongy substance made from a herbal plant "mugwort " is placed on the acupoints with shiunko cream and lit with an incense stick. The patient experiences a very comfortable sensation of heat
Moxibustion in general has more or less the same efficacy as acupuncture. However, medical experiments have shown that moxibustion exerts much wider and stronger effect on overall biochemical changes in the body than acupuncture
It increases the produciton of red blood cells, white blood cells and haemoglobin.
It improves lymph circulations
It is more effective for internal chronic ailments than acupuncture.
Because of stronger effects on the overall biochemical changes, especially in blood components and immune system, moxibustion is much more effective for various chronic diseases of internal organs
