What is the effect of moxibustion on the back

Does anyone know what the effects of moxibustion on the back are? In fact, it is quite effective in helping us prevent and eliminate some diseases. It can balance the yin and yang of the body. For people with weak bodies and long-term coughs, correct moxibustion can also help eliminate these diseases. However, it is important to remind you that moxibustion cannot be done blindly by yourself, but should be done under the guidance of a professional.

1. Keep your back healthy, first of all, keep warm

As the saying goes, "Keep your back warm and your belly soft." Your back should always be kept warm.

There is only a thin layer of fat on our back. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the back is yang and the abdomen is yin. The back is where the body's yang meridians are distributed, and the spine on the back is where the Du meridian, which controls the body's yang energy, is located. Therefore, once the back is exposed to cold, the yang energy of the whole body will be damaged.

The bladder meridian on the back is equivalent to the "barrier of the human body" and is a natural barrier against external wind and cold. When the bladder meridian is exposed to cold, the cold will reach the internal organs directly through the acupoints on the back. When cold wind invades the human body, the back is the first to be affected.

Summer is the best time to remove cold and dampness from the back. In spring and summer, we nourish yang, and in autumn and winter, we nourish yin. In summer, we replenish yang and achieve twice the result with half the effort. In addition, in the summer, the weather is hot and sweat causes the pores to open, which can easily lead to the invasion of wind and cold and cause illness. Therefore, taking care of your back in summer can cure all kinds of diseases.

2. Moxibustion on the back in summer can cure all diseases

“Sunbathe your back in spring and summer, and warm your back in autumn and winter.” No one can stand being exposed to the sun too much on hot days. Moxibustion, the sun invented by our ancestors, shines brightly at this time.

In summer, the Yang energy of the heaven, earth and human body reaches its peak. If moxibustion is used to burn a small fire, replenishing the body's Yang energy will be twice as effective with half the effort. Moxibustion on the back is the most direct way to maintain the five internal organs. The heat from moxibustion opens the pores on the back, allowing the cold evil air in the body to be expelled from the body and the meridians and blood to be unblocked.

3. How to nourish the back with moxibustion

For people who are weak and have been ill for a long time, you can use the lung shu, heart shu, and diaphragm shu points to replenish qi and promote blood circulation, the spleen shu point to strengthen the spleen, and the kidney shu point to nourish the kidneys. If you have a cough, add the Fengmen acupoint. If there is heat, remove the Xinshu point.

For those with stomach cold and spleen deficiency, on the basis of the above five acupoints, the lung point is reduced and the liver point is added, because the liver belongs to wood, wood overcomes earth, and the liver wood can restrain the spleen and earth; the heart belongs to fire, and the spleen belongs to earth, the heart fire can warm the deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach, and the heart point and diaphragm point can activate blood circulation; the kidney point can regulate defecation and urination, and the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold, and loose stools are often seen.
