In general, acupuncture treatment in oriental medicine uses acupuncture or moxibustion as a means to stimulate acupuncture points. Compared to acupuncture, moxibustion is widely used because it is relatively simple and has no side effects, and moxibustion is widely used for health management at home.

In oriental medicine, moxibustion is used to treat or prevent diseases by applying heat to the acupuncture points, meridians, and pain areas of the human body.

In particular, the mugwort moxibustion method using mugwort rolls the mugwort into a certain size to form a mugwort moxibustion. A large amount of mugwort moxibustion formed in this way is arranged at regular intervals according to the acupuncture point, and the mugwort is lit to burn. . As the mugwort burns, heat is transferred to the affected area, and the affected area is gradually treated by the heat transferred from the mugwort and the medicinal ingredients.
