Answer：

Artemisia vulgaris is the most common in use in the moxibustion therapy. Its leaf is fragrant and inflammable, and, when burned, its heat penetrates into the meridian, activates the Qi and blood circulation, eliminates cold and damp, disperses swelling and accumulation, restores the primary Yang Qi and prevents disease. This therapy will produce some smoke during the treatment.

There are two types of moxibustion: direct and indirect. Indirect moxibustion is currently the more popular form of care because it is painless and there is a much lower risk of burning. In indirect moxibustion, a practitioner lights one end of a moxa stick, roughly the shape and size of a cigar, and holds it close to the area being treated for several minutes until the area turns red. Another form of indirect moxibustion uses both acupuncture needles and moxa. A needle is inserted into an acupoint and retained. The tip of the needle is then wrapped in moxa and ignited, generating heat to the point and the surrounding area. After the desired effect is achieved, the moxa is extinguished and the needle(s) removed.

Answer：Cupping is used to relieve what is called "stagnation" in TCM terms. Cupping increases blood flow to the effected areas as well as promoting Qi circulation. Take back pain for instance, keeping one posture too long gives rise to local blood stagnation. If Qi is not strong enough to push the stagnation away, it needs exterior force to help driving the stagnation. With the force of cupping, stagnation will be expelled from the meridian and blood vessel. Fresh Qi and blood will get to the local area and metabolism is established again. This enables the cupping method to treat many types of disorders. The mark is light or dark depends on the condition of the involved area. The darker the mark is, the worse the stagnation is.

Answer：There are specific theories in traditional Chinese medicine to explain how acupuncture works. It’s comprehensive and profound. Briefly speaking, acupuncture is based on the concept that the continuous flow of vital life force known as Qi (pronounced chee) and blood is vital to health. Qi is invisible substance, but does exist. Its existence is just like that of the magnetic filed of the earth. It is the Qi that dominates all your life activities. As long as a creature is still alive, there are always invisible Qi to regulate and control the body, organs and life activities. Meridians are the pathways that cover the entire body in which the Qi moves and circulates. Acupoints are the sites on the meridians in which Qi stays and travels.? Everyone has 12 regular meridians, 8 extra meridians and a mass of minute collaterals. Meridians and collaterals consist of an integrated network. When the Qi is moving smoothly through the meridians, a person is healthy, but if Qi flows abnormally for some reasons, it will cause an obstruction of Qi or blood resulting in pain or illness. By acupuncture, we insert the needles into the prescribing acupoints and we wait for the arrival of Qi. When the Qi arrives, we stimulate the needles with particular techniques to regulate Qi. When the flow of Qi is normal again, it brings the body back to balance and restores health.
