Moxa, strengthening the immune system; research and discussion

This webinar is open to all members. It is the final instalment of a three-part webinar series for our Let’s talk about…Moxa campaign

Moxa, strengthening the immune system; research and discussion
Speaker: Jenny Craig
There is an understanding amongst acupuncturists that moxa may be beneficial for the immune system. But what evidence is there and, given the complicated nature of the immune system, how might this work? In this webinar we will examine historic and recent studies of the effects of direct moxa on the immune response, including the research carried out by Moxafrica into the use of moxa to help TB patients. We will present some possible mechanisms by which direct moxa might influence different parts of the immune system. A better understanding of these mechanisms could help us develop optimal treatment plans for patients with infectious diseases. Practical aspects of treatment such as dosage and choice of points will also be addressed and we will discuss the challenges of developing large scale self-help moxa programs, as Moxafrica is currently attempting to do for Long-COVID patients.
