The moxibustion consists in reheating - with the aid of the moxas - an acupuncture point and to make penetrate the heat through the skin. The word moxa originated in the Japanese word Mogusa, which refers to a variety of sagebrushes, the plant with which moxas are usually made. These are most often in the form of pellets, cones or sticks. It is the heat released by their combustion that stimulates the acupuncture points. Moxibustion helps prevent or treat problems such as rheumatic, joint and muscle pain, certain digestive problems such as diarrhea, and gynecological disorders such as painful menstruation and some infertility; in men, it can treat impotence and spontaneous ejaculation. It is used frequently in the treatment of people who are tired or suffering from chronic diseases in order to strengthen their vital energy. Finally, moxa is also very useful in some cases of anemia.
