What is the difference between Sanjiu moxibustion and dog moxibustion?

Use Sanjiu moxibustion on the coldest three or nine days in winter every year; Dog days moxibustion is used in the hottest dog days in summer every year.

2, the principle is different

Dog-day moxibustion is based on the theory of "correspondence between man and nature", "treatment of winter diseases in summer" and "nourishing yang in spring and summer" in traditional Chinese medicine, using the hot climate in dog days.

Based on the theory of meridians and acupoints, warm stimulation of meridians and acupoints plays a role in warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness.

Sanjiu moxibustion is chosen on the third or ninth day of winter according to the physical condition and the characteristics of diseases. At this time, yang is accumulated, qi and blood are blocked, skin is dry, and pores are blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine is applied to acupoints with specific curative effects to achieve the purpose of eliminating diseases.

3. Different functions

Dog days moxibustion is a good opportunity to treat winter diseases in summer. When the disease is in remission, prevention is more important than treatment. It can not only get rid of the newly felt evil of cold and dampness, but also get rid of the long-standing evil of cold and dampness in the body, thus improving physical fitness and restoring health.

Sanjiu moxibustion therapy is a supplement to dog moxibustion therapy. Sanjiu Moxibustion, using the acupuncture points in Sanjiutian acupoint therapy, applies spicy drugs to specific acupuncture points, which can warm and disperse cold, promote blood circulation and eliminate phlegm, make the human body more abundant in yang, warm and replenish qi, invigorate the spleen and lungs, dispel wind and dispel cold, and play the role of dredging collaterals and relieving pain.
