Mugwort is an ancient remedy used for many things – as an herb to help with dream work, as a medicinal tea for a variety of ills, and it is also prepared as Moxa – a loose herb that is burned to warm and stimulate acupuncture points as well as various injuries.

In this class, we will discuss traditional Chinese preparation of Mugwort into Moxa, its history of use and its properties, various ways to utilize Moxa, as well as different conditions that Moxa is particularly good for.

We will also discuss how to use Moxa for self care, from injuries, sprains, strains, menstrual cramps, and many other uses.

This is the full class on how to prepare Mugwort from fresh herb into Moxa. Mugwort is traditionally harvested for moxa only two days of the year, and we will have a free harvesting event on the second of these days, Monday, June 10th.
