About Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment
Acupuncture Moxibustion are traditional East Asian medicinal therapies, used to both treat and prevent various illnesses.
In the United States and Canada, many different styles and techniques of acupuncture have been adopted, including but not limited to traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture, electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, trigger point acupuncture, and Korean hand acupuncture. Increasing numbers of medical professionals such as physicians, chiropractors, and physiotherapists incorporate acupuncture as an adjunct modality into their treatment plan.
It should be noted that acupuncture literally means needle-puncture. In countries such as Japan and China, the practice of acupuncture is referred to as shinkyu (or zhenjiu), meaning AcupunctureMoxibustion (one word). In the West, only the needling is mainly taught and practiced, thus not many people have been treated with moxibustion (form of heat therapy on acupoint). In AcupunctureMoxibustion.com, we will discuss both Acupuncture and Moxibustion as it has been traditionally practiced in tandem since ancient times. It is believed that Acupuncture used in conjunction with Moxibustion profoundly enhances each modality’s effects.
