What are the benefits of warm moxibustion?

People often say that winter diseases need to be treated in summer, and moxibustion is one of the ancient Chinese treatments. Moxibustion in summer is beneficial to health. Some women particularly like to eat cold drinks and wear thin clothes in winter, which leads to uterine coldness in the long term. Warm moxibustion can be a good treatment. Warm moxibustion inputs heat and energy into the skin, which can unblock our internal organs and improve our mental outlook. What are the benefits of warm moxibustion? Let me explain them one by one.

A traditional therapeutic method in traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture and moxibustion, one of the four techniques of traditional Chinese medicine), which places a burning medicinal medium or heated mineral on the surface of the skin where the human meridians and acupoints are located, and through the input of heat and energy, induces the human body's "stress response" to self-regulate the body, dredge the internal organs, and balance yin and yang, thereby achieving the effect of improving human immunity and preventing and treating diseases.

The benefits of warm moxibustion include soothing the liver and gallbladder, refreshing the heart and spleen, invigorating the lungs and kidneys, and penetrating the mysterious orifices. Warm moxibustion can dredge the meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, stretch the muscles and bones, remove cold and dampness, disperse filth, and avoid plague. It can balance yin and yang, promote the circulation of qi and blood, resolve blood stasis and relieve pain, dispel wind and cold, clear the brain and calm the mind, develop intelligence, improve immunity, open blockages, soften and disperse nodules, expel evil and strengthen the body, warm the qi and blood, dispel cold and replenish deficiency, warm and replenish vital energy, harmonize qi and blood, moisturize the complexion, and make people exude a healthy spirit.

Moxibustion has the following effects:

1. Warming the meridians and dispelling cold 2. Promoting qi and unblocking collaterals 3. Supporting yang and consolidating deficiency 4. Lifting yang and lifting sunken 5. Removing toxins and relieving heat 6. Warming moxibustion for disease prevention and health care

Pay attention to the quality of moxibustion materials: the thickness and quality of moxa sticks and moxa wool are closely related to moxibustion, so they must be carefully considered. Especially for direct moxibustion, you must use extremely fine moxa wool. It is best to buy the finished product, store it for a long time, and keep it secretly. Because moxa is most susceptible to moisture, it should be dried before use to facilitate ignition. Moxa sticks are made of rolled moxa wool, so you should also choose high-grade ones, with quality increasing gradually from Grade A to advanced and top-grade ones.

The above are the many benefits that moxibustion brings to our body, but during moxibustion, we must pay attention that it is not suitable to do moxibustion half an hour before or half an hour after meals. In addition, warm moxibustion requires patience and long-term application, and one should not rush for results. The moxibustion time can be shorter, and it is better to moxibustion several times to achieve the desired effect.
