What is that herbal smell in the clinic?
The herbal odor you may smell in our clinic, is called Moxa. It is made from an herb called Artemesia Vulgaris or “Mugwort.” It is a transfer medium used to warm the needles stimulating the circulation of qi. The warm sensation created by burning the herb creates a soothing and relaxing addition to treatment. For those who are chemically sensitive, who suffer from respiratory aliments or who do not enjoy the smell of the herb, can choose to have a heat lamp used in its place.
