A few more bonus points for moxa:
It can be used for treating children or those who are severely
needle-phobic. Treating acupuncture points with moxa alone can
gently stimulate the action of the point just through the heat and
energy from moxa itself.
It has been observed that moxa treatment used in combination
with acupuncture often allows patients to enter a more relaxed state
of rest than just acupuncture treatment alone. Within the first few
minutes of moxibustion, patients' breathing becomes much deeper and
slower as their body and mind let go of pent-up tension.
Aside from being useful to treat the above conditions and as a
preventative measure to maintain health, moxa has been known
throughout the ages as an agent that can prolong life! Its famous
reputation for promoting longevity goes back to ancient classic
Chinese Medical texts.
