Chinese medicine experts point out that the best season for Chinese medicine moxibustion therapy is summer. Because we wear less clothes in the summer, it is very convenient to do moxibustion at home even if you don’t go to the hospital. It is not like in the winter when you can easily catch a cold if you take off your clothes to do moxibustion at home. Moreover, when the weather is hot, the human body is more sensitive to temperature and is not easily burned.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are more suitable for acupuncture therapy. Most of the sick people have a yang deficiency constitution. Mugwort is warm in nature and is a purely yang substance. Moxibustion can warm the meridians, eliminate cold and dampness, and replenish the body's yang energy. Summer happens to be the time when the yang energy in nature is at its strongest. The yang and heat of the two combined have a stronger warming and tonic effect. Therefore, the tonic effect of moxibustion can be best achieved in the summer when the Yang energy of nature is at its peak.
