Researchers from Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have identified moxibustion to be a novel treatment for insomnia. Their findings, which appeared in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, noted the viability of the treatment, given its low rate of adverse effects, compared to other medications.
Based on the results of the review, the team concluded that while moxibustion can potentially be used as an alternative treatment for insomnia, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to fully understand its benefits.
