Is mugwort heat therapy (moxibustion) good for respiratory health?
2023.07.29 13:24
My friend was diagnosed with cancer and has been consistently visiting a traditional Korean medicine hospital, undergoing various types of heat therapies.
I went together to receive mugwort heat therapy because it's said to be good for immunity.
I placed mugwort on my stomach and lit it, and as my stomach warmed up, I started to feel sleepy and relaxed.
But I wondered if the smoke from the mugwort was okay for the respiratory system.
The doctor says that the smoke from mugwort heat therapy is okay, but I'm curious.

Thank you for sharing this valuable review of how you healed while walking in nature; it has made me feel good too. Outdoor cardio exercise is perfect for relieving stress and burning body fat. I hope you get plenty of rest today and continue your pleasant walks tomorrow.681026.10.23
