Acupuncturist carries out moxibustion on abdomen
Moxibustion. Female acupuncturist examining burning moxa wool on acupuncture points on a female patients abdomen. Moxa wool is made from dried mugwort leaves (Artemisia vulgaris). Sticks of moxa can also be used to heat the skin directly at acupuncture points. Moxibustion is used to warm the bodys Qi (life force), mainly in the treatment of conditions characterized by coldness and dampness. Acupuncture was developed in China on the theory that Qi flows along the bodys meridian lines. It is believed that diseases are due to a blockage of this flow. Warming the points along the meridians is thought to restore normal flow

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the ancient healing practice of moxibustion being carried out by a skilled acupuncturist. The focus is on the abdomen of a female patient as the acupuncturist carefully examines burning moxa wool placed on acupuncture points. Moxa wool, derived from dried mugwort leaves, holds immense therapeutic potential. Moxibustion serves to warm the body's Qi or life force, particularly in cases characterized by coldness and dampness. Developed in China based on the belief that Qi flows along meridian lines within our bodies, acupuncture aims to restore normal flow by targeting specific points along these pathways. As we delve into this image, it becomes evident that alternative medicine can seamlessly blend with Western practices for holistic healthcare. This fusion highlights how complementary therapies like moxibustion have gained recognition within medical circles. The dedication and precision displayed by both practitioner and patient are awe-inspiring. The acupuncturist's expertise shines through as she navigates these intricate meridians while harnessing the power of moxa to stimulate healing energy within her patient. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates centuries of wisdom passed down through generations. It reminds us of the vast possibilities offered by different branches of medicine when combined harmoniously for optimal well-being.
