What are the instruments for moxibustion?

Moxibustion device is only a tool to assist moxibustion, which mainly plays the role of moxa sticks or moxa. Different moxa sticks have different usages, but they are all similar. All of them put the lighted moxa stick in the moxa stick and hang the head of the moxa stick on the acupuncture point of the human body for moxibustion. However, there are four types of moxa sticks. Let me explain them one by one. I suggest you choose a moxa stick with a medical device registration certificate.

1, smoke-removing moxibustion instrument

Traditional open fire moxibustion therapy was used and smoked moxa sticks were used; Putting the lighted moxa stick into an moxibustion instrument and placing it at the focus for moxibustion; Moxibustion smoke enters the smoke removal box along the smoke guide pipe; After the smoke is treated by the materials in the box, clean air is discharged, thus achieving the effect of treating moxibustion smoke.

2. Smokeless moxibustion instrument

Traditional open fire moxibustion therapy was used and smokeless moxa sticks were used. Put the lit smokeless moxa stick into the moxibustion instrument and place it at the focus for moxibustion. Smokeless moxa sticks will produce a small amount of smoke, but it can be ignored. Smokeless moxa sticks are the product of the new era, which makes moxibustion no longer troubled by smoke.

3. moxibustion box

Moxibustion box is cheap and light. You can use smokeless moxa sticks or smoked moxa sticks. However, when moxibustion box applies moxibustion at Zusanli and other acupoints, it needs to be bound, giving people an uncomfortable feeling. During moxibustion, moxibustion box conducts heat, and moxibustion box directly touches the skin, which will be very hot.

4. Electronic moxibustion instrument

Electronic moxibustion instrument is a combination of modern supercritical extraction, microelectronics and magnetic therapy. The moxa stick was put in the electronic moxibustion instrument, but it didn't really burn, so it was put in the focus for moxibustion.

It is not particularly recommended to use electronic moxibustion instrument, and insist on using traditional open flame moxibustion therapy.
