1. Longevity and health care moxibustion

Acupoints: Zusanli (located 3 inches below the kneecap on the front and outer side of the calf, one horizontal finger outside the anterior crest of the tibia), Qihai (located 1.5 inches below the navel on the midline of the abdomen), and Guanyuan (located 3 inches below the navel on the midline of the abdomen). Grouping: The first group includes Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli on the left side; the second group includes Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli on the right side. Method: After selecting the acupoints, light the medicinal moxa sticks and aim them at the first group of acupoints respectively. Moxibustion each acupoint for 10 minutes until the skin at each acupoint becomes flushed. The next day, use the same method to apply moxibustion to the second group of acupoints. Repeat this method of moxibustion for three consecutive months as a course of treatment. Rest for a week and then continue with the second course of treatment. Pay attention when using it, and the distance between the moxa fire and the skin should be at the maximum heat that the person being treated can tolerate. Be careful not to burn the skin. Note: Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli are important acupoints for strengthening the human body. Moxibustion once a day can adjust and improve the body's immune function and enhance its ability to resist disease. The "Bian Que Heart Book" written in the Song Dynasty said: "When people are healthy, they should often moxibustion Guanyuan, Qihai, Mingguan and Zhongwan. Although they cannot live forever, they can live a hundred years." Especially for ladies, after moxibustion on these three acupoints, they will feel refreshed, radiant, and their whole body, especially the lower abdomen, feels very comfortable (this feeling is usually not obvious until half a month of continuous moxibustion).

2. Moxibustion for frostbite

Acupoints: Hegu (located between the first and second metacarpal bones on the dorsum of the hand, near the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone), Zusanli. Method: Massage the frostbite area for 5 minutes. After selecting the acupoints, light the medicinal moxa stick and aim it at the areas where frostbite has occurred or is about to occur. Hold the moxibustion for 3 to 5 minutes each, until the local skin turns red. If the frostbite is on the upper limbs or ears, moxibustion on the Hegu point must be added for 3 to 5 minutes; if the frostbite is on the lower limbs, moxibustion on the Zusanli point must be added for 3 to 5 minutes. The distance between the moxa fire and the skin should be the maximum heat that the person being treated can tolerate. Be careful not to burn the skin. Use this method of moxibustion for 3 consecutive days and frostbite will not recur.

3. Moxibustion for stomachache

Acupoints: Zhongwan (located 4 inches above the navel on the midline of the abdomen) and Zusanli. Method: After selecting the acupoints, light the medicinal moxa stick and apply moxibustion on the Zhongwan point and one side of the Zusanli point for 10 minutes each, until the skin on the acupoints turns red. Stomach pain is relieved immediately. When using it, you should concentrate and the distance between the moxa fire and the skin should be at the maximum heat that the person being treated can tolerate. Be careful not to burn the skin. Note: Moxibustion on the Zusanli point can relax stomach spasms and weaken strong stomach motility. It can also immediately strengthen weak stomach motility and start the stomach to move if it does not move at all. Therefore, except for serious diseases such as gastric ulcer bleeding and perforation, which should be treated promptly or with surgery, for stomach pain caused by any other reason, including acute and chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and gastric neurosis in modern medicine, if the main symptom is epigastric pain, moxibustion with this method can immediately relieve the pain.

4. Moxibustion Beauty

The beauty of moxibustion is different from general cosmetic beauty and surgical beauty. One is essential and the other is superficial. Cosmetics can cover up your flaws, surgery can transform your structure and satisfy your temporary vanity, but none of these can give you real health. Because health keeps you young, radiant, quick-witted and responsive, which is another level of beauty. You may be able to achieve the results you want more or less by taking medicine, getting injections or exercising. But it is not as good as moxibustion. Moxibustion is the most effective means to dispel fatigue, restore vitality, replenish physical energy, and balance yin and yang. Many women have rough and unclean faces, which is often caused by endocrine disorders. In fact, it is due to insufficient yang energy, not the so-called getting angry. There are several types of women:

1. Women with patches of acne on their faces often have severe leucorrhea. "Clearing heat and detoxifying" often has no effect because the heat they have is often false heat rather than real heat. Replenishing yang energy is not enough, let alone making the situation worse. So moxibustion is the best choice.

2. Women with chloasma on their faces often have liver and kidney deficiency and a severely acidic constitution. Moxibustion treatment often produces unexpected results. 3. Women who are overweight or puffy do not have overnutrition, but overnutrition is just a concept in Western medicine. There is no such concept in traditional Chinese medicine. If any traditional Chinese medicine practitioner also makes such nonsense, he must be a half-baked one. Even obese children are often not suffering from overnutrition but rather insufficient yang energy. This is often because their parents have a lot of sex during pregnancy, which leads to congenital deficiencies in the children, imbalances in liver and kidney function, and poor spleen function. Women who are overweight often suffer from metrorrhagia and excessive blood loss. Being too fat is often due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, while being too thin is often due to liver and kidney deficiency.

4. Women whose nipples fade prematurely or whose nipples are sunken often have severe liver and kidney deficiency, coldness in the Chong and Ren meridians, and some even have coughing problems. Moxibustion has a very good effect on these problems.

3. Scope of application

It is suitable for people of different ages who suffer from low back pain, lumbar muscle strain, spinal pain, cold hands and feet, fatigue, insomnia, endocrine disorders, prostatitis, sexual dysfunction and other symptoms.

4. Moxibustion beds with different functions

1. Moxibustion function: Light the moxa sticks as needed and put them in the tray. The placement of the moxa sticks should be reasonably distributed according to the height of the person. The person lies on his back on the moxibustion bed. When the swing function is turned on, the moxa fire will move back and forth behind the person for moxibustion. According to the person's acceptance ability, press the button of the lifter to adjust the moxa fire to be close or far away. By adjusting the distance, the moxa fire is always in an optimal position, which is conducive to the human body's acceptance. When you lie comfortably on the moxibustion bed, you will involuntarily accept this rhythmic, smooth and comfortable moxibustion treatment.

2. The moxibustion bed can be used as a massage bed according to personal needs. Put the middle cover on, or remove the middle cover, push the covers on both sides to the middle to close them, so that it can be used as a massage bed, allowing you to lie on the bed and enjoy the massage easily. The control box is mounted on the lift bracket and then the main control box door is closed.
