Moxibustion for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia

As the saying goes, "Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal." It can be seen that the pain is really unbearable. The trigeminal neuralgia we are going to talk about today is comparable to toothache, and it is very easy to be confused with toothache. This is because the location of the pain is similar. Trigeminal neuralgia is a paroxysmal severe neuralgia that occurs in the distribution area of ​​the trigeminal nerve in the face. What is even more uncomfortable is that it often recurs. So how to relieve and treat such pain? Let me tell you how moxibustion can treat trigeminal neuralgia.

The therapeutic effect of moxibustion is achieved by regulating the body's immune function, and this effect is characterized by bidirectional regulation. Because moxibustion is applied to acupoints, it first stimulates the acupoints themselves, stimulates the meridian qi, mobilizes the function of the meridians, and enables them to better play the overall role of qi and blood and yin and yang, and activates certain nerve ending enzymes in the skin to participate in the body's immune regulation, thus having a significant regulatory effect on the treatment of diseases. What is low can be raised, and what is high can be lowered.

Let’s first take a look at what moxibustion is. Moxibustion is a treatment method with Chinese characteristics. Different from acupuncture treatment, it uses moxa as the main material to make moxa cones or moxa sticks, which are then ignited and used to fumigate or warm the acupoints on the body surface. Some patients with trigeminal neuralgia also use moxibustion to treat the disease. So how does moxibustion treat trigeminal neuralgia?

The mechanism of action of moxibustion is that the heat effect generated during the combustion process is transmitted to the meridian system, mobilizing the body's immune function and acting on the diseased parts of the internal organs, limbs and bones. The multi-level, multi-functional and multi-form adjustments produce a multiplier effect in treatment under the action of mutual synergy and mutual stimulation. Moxibustion for trigeminal neuralgia can only temporarily relieve pain, but cannot cure trigeminal neuralgia.

After reading the above introduction, you now probably know that trigeminal neuralgia can be treated with moxibustion. This is the end of the introduction to the moxibustion treatment method for trigeminal neuralgia. As experts introduced, trigeminal neuralgia can be effectively treated with moxibustion. In addition to moxibustion treatment, there are other treatments for trigeminal neuralgia.
