The efficacy of moxibustion bed

For the sake of convenience, many people do not want to go to the moxibustion shop for moxibustion every day, so they buy a moxibustion bed at home. It is very convenient and labor-saving to buy a moxibustion bed at home. Moreover, regular use of the moxibustion bed can also promote the circulation of qi and unblock the meridians, which is especially good for regulating the body. Especially for some middle-aged and elderly people, their physique is most suitable for using a moxibustion bed. So what are the effects of moxibustion beds?

The role of moxibustion bed

1. Warming the meridians and dispersing cold: Qi, blood, and body fluids are the basic substances for the body to survive, and they circulate throughout the body. Meridians are the main channels for the circulation of Qi and blood. If the body is affected by the cold, the meridians will be affected by Yin and the circulation will be blocked. Due to the warming and pungent function of mugwort, and its warm stimulation of acupoints, which are special parts of the body where the internal organs and meridians are infused with qi and blood, moxibustion uses acupoints to allow heat to penetrate directly into the meridians and skin, thereby achieving the conditioning effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold.

2. Promote Qi and dredge meridians: Meridians are distributed in various parts of the body, including internal organs, and external muscles, bones and other tissues. In a normal body, Qi and blood circulate in the meridians in an orderly manner. If due to the invasion of external factors such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire, the human body or local Qi and blood stagnates and the meridians are blocked, symptoms such as swelling and pain and a series of functional disorders may occur. At this time, moxibustion treatment of the corresponding acupoints can harmonize Qi and blood, dredge the meridians, balance functions, and promote Qi and blood circulation.

3. Replenishing vital energy: Vital energy is the driving force of the body's life activities. It is generated from the essence and energy in the kidneys. Moxibustion therapy has the effect of replenishing vital energy. In particular, "Nanjing" proposed that Mingmen is the gateway to life, the root of vital energy, and the home of water and fire (including kidney yin and kidney yang). Warming and tonifying the Mingmen acupoint can achieve the best effects of nourishing yin, warming the kidney, and strengthening yang.

4. Support Yang and lift the sunken: Yin and Yang are the foundation of human beings. The Yang Qi in the human body is prone to decline. This is often caused by long-term illness, physical weakness, and weak Wei Yang. The pores are loose, making it easy to get hurt or catch a cold. In severe cases, the Qi in the middle sinks, and the internal organs sag. Moxibustion therapy can not only invigorate Qi and warm Yang, raise Yang and lift the sunken, but also regulate symptoms such as collapse and visceral prolapse caused by spleen and kidney Yang deficiency. It is also effective for those with weak Wei Yang and loose pores. Moxibustion therapy can restore the body's functions to normal and enhance the body's resistance.

5. Remove toxins and release heat: Moxibustion therapy has a good effect on sores and other symptoms, including breast redness and swelling, because moxibustion can dispel cold and clear away heat, and can play a two-way regulatory role on the body.

The harm of moxibustion bed

1 Moxibustion has the advantages of obvious effect, simplicity, ease, economy and practicality, and almost no toxicity and side effects. As long as the operation method is proper and the acupoints are accurately mastered, it generally does not produce adverse reactions to the human body.

2 Many people will experience dry mouth, dry and sore throat after moxibustion. This is also a reaction to moxibustion. This is the body's adjustment of yin and yang. Yang cannot overcome yin. Drink more boiled water.

3Due to different constitutions and symptoms, the initial application of moxibustion may cause fever, fatigue, dry mouth, general discomfort and other disease-eliminating reactions. Generally, these reactions should not be considered and will disappear as long as the moxibustion is continued.
