Video Transcript

"Hi. In this segment, we're going to use some acupuncture with moxibustion in combination. So we're going to actually go ahead and insert a couple of needles into the back, here. And the combination of the two will actually enhance the power of the acupuncture treatment itself. And we say that it will not only add a stronger stimulation, but also we say it warms the yang, or warms the point in the needle, in the process. So we'll put in a couple of our single-use needles. And we're just going to do two, so we can get this going. That's a good point for him. And then we're going to attach the moxibustion to the top of that. And then we're going to just light those. And you never want to do this on your own. This should be done by an acupuncturist, who will stay in the room and monitor it to make sure that it doesn't get too hot or too uncomfortable for the patient. But after a few minutes, the patient will start to feel a little bit of a warming effect, as the moxi slowly burns and warms both the point and the needle. And there we have acupuncture and moxi in combination."
