Let's take a look at the effects of moxibustion.

1. Warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals, promoting qi and blood circulation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that only when Qi and blood flow smoothly can the human body maintain normal life activities. Qi and blood have the characteristic of "flowing when encountering warmth and coagulating when encountering cold". Moxibustion therapy can allow high temperature to penetrate the body's muscles, bones and meridians, warming up the cold qi and blood and making it flow more smoothly.

2. Dispel cold and dampness, eliminate stasis and resolve stagnation

The pure yang heat and medicinal power of moxa fire can quickly open up qi stagnation and dissipate blood stasis. When positive Yang Qi enters the body, it can clear out damp and turbid Qi, dispel cold and restore Yang.

3. Warming the middle and replenishing qi, health care and strengthening the body

Moxibustion therapy has always been recognized by doctors as being able to stimulate the human immune system and promote metabolism. More positive energy in the human body can improve the disease resistance of various tissues and organs in the body, and has a good health-preserving effect of nourishing and strengthening the body.

Moxibustion has so many functions, but when using moxibustion for treatment, you must pay attention to the fact that you cannot directly moxibustion the face to prevent damage to the face. Do not use moxibustion on women's nipples and genitals, or men's testicles. Do not use moxibustion directly on the joints. Do not use moxibustion when there is an infectious disease, fever, coma, etc.
