| MOXA & MOXIBUSTION THE ARTEMISIA LEAF OR ("DOCTOR'S GRASS") IS THE HERB USED IN MOXIBUSTION. IT IS BELIEVED TO EMIT YANG ENERGY WHEN BURNT. SINCE ANCIENT TIMES IT HAS BEEN BURNT TO DISINFECT AND KEEP STERILE THE AIR TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE IN HOSPITALS AND PATIENT TREATMENT CENTERS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE OF ARTEMISIA LEAF (AI YE) IS ITS ABILTITY TO PENETRATE MOISTURE AND DAMPNESS. IN ANCIENT TIMES CHINESE ARMIES USED THIS KNOWLEDGE TO FIND UNDERGROUND SPRINGS DURING TIMES OF WAR, WHEN CONSTANT MOVEMENT MADE EASY SOURCES OF WATER UNAVAILABLE. SOLDIERS WOULD BURN ARGY WORMWOOD AND WAIT FOR THE SMOKE TO SETTLE. WHERE THE SMOKE ACCUMULATED THEY WOULD DIG A WELL FOR WATER. CHINESE MEDICINE ALSO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL PROPERTY TO HELP DISPEL DAMPNESS FROM THE BODY. HERBALIST ASSOCIATE DAMPNESS WITH DECAY AND TOXIN RETENTION BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY CONDUCTIVE TO FUNGI GROWTH. THE EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ADD ANY ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS IN TO THE BODY, BUT INSTEAD SIMPLY RE-ADJUST THE BODY'S NATURAL MECHANISMS TO EFFECTIVELY RAISE THE FUNCTIONING ABILITY. BECAUSE THEY DO NOT INTRODUCE FOREIGN ELEMENTS IN TO THE BODY THEY ARE THE PUREST AND MOST NATURAL FORMS OF TREATMENT.
