Barefoot Acupuncture Movement

The Santo Domingo Pueblo of New Mexico is intent on reducing op**te overdose rates in a state ranking among the highest op**te related deaths in the USA. They have launched a new acudetox clinic through the support of the Barefoot Acupuncture Movement and the needling leadership of Lucia Darlach, PhD.

We celebrate Women's International Day all this month by sharing stories like these. Read more and learn how to support our efforts to support women like Lucia by clicking on our profile link: (barefootacupuncturemovement.com)

Moxa applied in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in a free clinic within a church.

Moxa (also known as moxibustion) involves heating the dried leaves of Artemisia*, commonly known as mugwort, and applying it to acupuncture points. Traditionally taught to patients and their family members in East Asia, moxa is cost-effective (25 cents per treatment) and easily applied within any community space. Our Japanese rice-cone moxa curriculum was inspired by the use of moxa to treat Tuberculosis by the Moxafrica project in Uganda and South Africa. Our students learn how to apply several basic, simple, and safe Moxa protocols to treat a variety of conditions.​
