Heat Therapy

A long time ago, the Chinese found that heat can reduce aches and pains caused by cold and damp climates. The Chinese used tree bark or animal skin wrapped around a heated stone, placing the stone on a wound or the area with pain to decrease the pain. Later they used burning herbs to relieve the pain and cold caused by illness. This was the origin of "Heat Therapy" and moxbustion. Cupping, massage, Gua Sha and other therapies came after. All these therapies mostly treat the meridian system.
