Moxibustion, a type of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is becoming fashionable but much more needs to be done to maintain its popularity and improve the quality of moxibustion products, experts said at a Beijing forum in September.

The forum was attended by government officials, medical professionals, moxibustionists and business people involved in the field.

Moxibustion is a TCM therapy that involves the burning of mugwort to facilitate healing. The ancient practice fell out of favor in recent decades.
