In addition to acupuncture, Chinese medicine encompasses proper nutrition, exercise (Qi Gong, Tai Qi), massage (Tuina), and moxibustion. Moxibustion is the burning of small cones of mugwort on specific acupuncture points to warm and activate the points and channels. A moxa stick is used indirectly and held near the body point for the same purpose. Chinese massage or Tuina is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to relax the muscles and prepare for needles. Qi Gong and Tai Qi are ancient exercises and breathing techniques that can be static like meditation or a very active form of exercise that focuses on proper breathing and controlled, precise body movements to move qi in the body. Finally, no form of medicine would be complete without nutritional guidelines. Chinese food cures, using the five elements and the patient's body type and pattern differentiation, are often prescribed along with herbal remedies.
