Moxibustion gets your blood moving. That's the main thing.
It also helps with dampness - you know, that heavy, sluggish feeling. Helps with digestion too. And some people say it helps them sleep better.
For anyone who sits at a desk all day, it's a pretty easy way to feel a little better. No big effort.
You light the moxa stick, hold it near your skin. The warmth sinks in. You might start to sweat a little. That cold, stiff feeling slowly goes away. That's really what happens.
Mugwort is warm by nature. Dry it, process it, and that warmth goes even deeper. Nothing fancy.
It's not instant. But it's also not harsh. Some things just take a little time. That's fine.
