EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of moxibustion, a traditional therapy deeply rooted in Chinese and Japanese medicine. The image showcases a skilled therapist applying this alternative treatment to a female client in her thirties or twenties at a serene salon or spa. In the picture, the therapist holds an applicator known as a moxa pole, which contains ground and rolled mugwort - derived from Artemisia vulgaris. With expertise and precision, she strategically warms specific points on the patient's body using this herbal tool. The purpose behind this warming technique is to stimulate the flow of Qi, also referred to as energy. Both women are seen smiling warmly during this complementary therapeutic session. As the mugwort burns gently, wisps of smoke fill the treatment room, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and healing. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the harmonious blend of ancient Eastern medicine with modern-day practices. It serves as a testament to how alternative therapies like moxibustion continue to find their place within contemporary wellness clinics and herbal clinics alike. This stunning visual representation by Science Photo Library not only highlights the artistry involved in such treatments but also sparks curiosity about these lesser-known forms of healthcare that have stood the test of time.
