The herb ‘mugwort’ (Artemesia) is also used with massage or acupuncture. During this procedure, the practioners uses a stick of the herb to warm the body direct through the skin or through the acupuncture needles already placed on the body, and this is called moxibustion.

It provides a very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable feeling of warmth throughout the body.

An Infra red heat lamp can also be used as a method of treatment.
