"Knowing herbal medicine, but not knowing acupuncture, or knowing acupuncture, but not knowing moxibustion is not sufficient to be a Great Doctor."
The term for acupuncture in Chinese, 'Zhen Jiu' [针灸] itself incorporates two parts, the former being acupuncture [zhen 针] and the latter being moxibustion [jiu 灸].

Get back in touch with nature just as the barefoot doctors of the past and learn the tools to roll your own moxa sticks. At the end of the course you will be equipped with everything you need to know and a mugwort plant to start your own plantation. Moxa sticks made with home-grown moxa are superior to commercial moxa that is processed. You only need to smell it once to judge it for yourself.

Mugwort (Artemisia Argyii) is probably the single most important herb in Chinese medicine. Its uses are very versatile and it has been used in many cultures all over the world such as the native Americans, the Mayans, the Europeans and across Asia. However many practitioners do not even know what the plant looks like or the procedure involved in making moxa floss and moxa sticks. Many practitioners depend entirely on shops to purchase their mugwort and therefore an important aspect of Chinese medicine, the ability to recognise herbs in nature, has been totally eradicated. To the presenter's knowledge there is only one course in Taiwan that takes students into the mountains, apart from some short herbal walks that are offered in California at one acupuncture school.
