Moxibustion What is it? How is it Used? & What is it Used For?

Moxa is really wonderful to use in the treatment of sprains, strains, joint and muscle pains, traumas, arthritis, menstrual pain and can even help to support the immune system. It also may seem contradictory but despite it being a type of heat therapy it can be very helpful and even reduce inflammation in these injuries. By stimulating the flow of blood and fluids through the area and by bringing in fresh repairing cells the inflammation is often reduced and healing is sped up

Fire Cider

As a mother of a wild three year old who goes to daycare I am always on the lookout for a way to boost the immune system. I love her so much but she is a walking petri dish and wonderful little vector. Though my background is in Chinese herbs and there are lots of wonderful options I also have Appalachia in my blood and so I also like to look to folk medicine and eastern herbs.
