Clinical Insights About a Neglected Modality of Chinese Medicine
Moxibustion was once regarded as one of the main modalities of Chinese medicine. During the last 75 years, however, the quality of medicinal mugwort has gone into decline and many traditional Moxa techniques have been lost.
In this presentation, Dr. Liu Lihong’s passionate associate Mrs. Zou Hui gives us a passionate account of her decade-long journey to revive this forgotten therapeutic art. She relates how she chanced upon the esoteric Daoist system of Hetu Luoshu Moxibustion near sacred Mt. Qingcheng in Sichuan, and how she rediscovered China’s lost mugwort terroir near Li Shizhen’s ancestral home in Hubei.
A compelling presentation outlining the characteristics of high quality mugwort and the enormous clinical potential of moxibustion for physical and emotional rebalancing.
Is there a way we could order this high quality moxa to the US?
Hi Seth, thanks for asking. There has been a fair amount of interest actually. Heiner intends to start importing the moxa, likely through Classical Pearls – though the logistics still need to be determined. He is still working with Mrs. Zao to create a pipeline for the moxa. Importing from China has its challenges as you can imagine! We’ll definitely announce it via email when that happens. Be sure you’re on the list. Sorry we don’t have a date just yet but they are actively working on it now and has an entire Sacred Mountain Retreat planned around this system of moxa in summer 2024.
