The most commonly used material in moxibustion therapy is mugwort, so moxibustion therapy is often referred to as "moxibustion". The history of our ancestors using mugwort can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago, which shows how long the history of moxibustion therapy is. Legend has it that our ancestors occasionally got burned accidentally while using fire, which resulted in some of their physical illnesses being unexpectedly alleviated or cured. After repeated experiences, they took the initiative to use burning to treat some illnesses, and thus moxibustion therapy gradually emerged. Once, a man's illness was so severe that he could not wait to find branches or other things to light, so he directly used the moxa beside him as an ignition for moxibustion. This moxibustion is more effective than any previous moxibustion treatment. The fire is gentle and long-lasting, reaching directly into the meridians and marrow. Word of mouth spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and thus moxibustion became popular.

It can restore the lost yang and connect the twelve meridians. Using it for moxibustion can penetrate all meridians and cure all diseases." This shows that mugwort can cure all diseases by moxibustion, strengthen the original yang, warm and connect the meridians, dispel wind and cold, relax the muscles and tendons, and restore yang and rescue from adverse conditions.
