Moxibustion mainly has the functions of warming meridians and dispelling cold, supporting yang and resolving hard mass, removing blood stasis and resolving hard mass, and preventing diseases and protecting health, and these four functions can be played in moxibustion. When there are all kinds of pains, the method of warming meridians and dispelling cold can be used; If you have yang deficiency, you can use the method of supporting yang to disperse the knot; If there is pain, you can use the effect of removing blood stasis and resolving hard mass, or the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is the most important. Moxibustion can strengthen the body. The main disadvantage is that the body smells of wormwood, and some people may be sensitive. There may be burns and blisters during moxibustion, which should be avoided.

Moxibustion can resist aging and strengthen yang.

Moxibustion supplements Yang Qi, and the whole body is full of essence! Of the 10 people who should be moxibustion, which category do you belong to?

Yang deficiency is a common problem of modern people.

The so-called Yang Qi is the qi of human life, which Chinese medicine calls vitality. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, the classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing, had a related discussion on "Yang", arguing that the Yang in the human body is like the sun in the sky, and everything in the world depends on the sun for growth; If people have no yang, the metabolism of the body will stop and life will end.

It is precisely because of the promotion of yang spirit and the effects of warmth, transpiration and hair growth that people can make the blood in the body circulate throughout the body and nourish the viscera, meridians, limbs, muscles and fur. As the saying goes, "yang is in people, but people don't die", which is also the reason why Chinese medicine calls "qi is handsome in blood". The word "handsome" is enough to illustrate the importance of yang.

(weak pulse, thin and weak pulse, cold hands and feet, yang deficiency)

However, intuitive current life, Yang deficiency has become a common problem of modern people. Modern people enjoy more and more comfortable life and taste more and more rich diet, but ignore the changes that these "enjoyment" brings to the body. For example:

The widespread use of air conditioners shields the natural temperature;

Driven by the love of beauty, the clothes worn by women are more and more exposed, more transparent and thinner.

Naked navel dresses and miniskirts have appeared one after another;

In the cold winter, people begin to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are out of season, such as watermelon.

Drink cold drinks,

Eat more cold and sea products.

As everyone knows, these "habits" are eroding people's yang and damaging their health. Medical research shows that the death rate of human beings is inversely proportional to the change of temperature, with the highest death rate around 1 month in the coldest time and the lowest death rate in August-September in the warmer time.

The reason for this is that the yang is eroded by the cold. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that if people's yang is not carefully cared for and consumed at will, it will not only induce diseases, but also endanger life in serious cases.

Ai is pure yang, which is most suitable for invigorating vitality.

"Artemisia argyi is bitter, warm, cooked and hot, pure yang. It can return yang to decline, pass the twelve meridians, take three yin, regulate qi and blood, drive away cold and dampness, warm uterus ... With moxibustion, you can pass meridians and eliminate all diseases. "

It is precisely because Artemisia argyi leaves mainly grow on the sunny slope with strong sunshine and the mountain facing south, and are picked around the Dragon Boat Festival, where the yang rises every year, so it is a product of pure yang and has the magical effect of reviving the dead, warming the meridians and dredging the collaterals. Therefore, Tao Hongjing, a famous pharmacologist, said in his "A Record of Famous Doctors" that "Artemisia argyi leaves are mild and nontoxic, and all diseases are cured by moxibustion ..."

Healthy population

People who are not troubled by diseases can protect themselves by frequent moxibustion and achieve the health-preserving effect of "preventing diseases".

Everyone should be his own healthy master.

There are many kinds of diseases in the world, and there are hundreds of common diseases, but few diseases can really tell the cause. There is a essence of Chinese medicine called "treating diseases and seeking roots". As long as the source of the disease is found, no matter how diverse and complicated it is, it is always under control.

Moxibustion is to temporarily raise the local temperature of the human body by forcibly inputting heat energy to a certain part of the body, thereby enhancing the local immunity and metabolism of the human body and achieving the effect of conditioning the whole body. It can also be said that moxibustion health care is actually to remove the root cause and prolong life!

1. Moxibustion on the affected skin can raise the temperature around the moxibustion point and in the deep layer in a short time. It can kill local germs, and make local accumulated garbage change shape at high temperature, which is easy to be discharged. High temperature can also improve the decomposition and synthesis of garbage by biological enzymes, which is convenient for discharge. High temperature will also accelerate the local flow of blood and body fluids and transport local garbage through blood and meridians.

Such as tinea, beriberi, folliculitis, stomatitis, otitis media and acne. Moxibustion is used to treat epidermal diseases. Moxibustion first kills pathogenic bacteria at high temperature, and then melts subcutaneous garbage, and the symptoms are gradually eliminated. No need to take medicine, no need to inject, quick effect and good curative effect.

2. Moxibustion is used to treat deep or visceral diseases. It is necessary to moxibustion related points. Moxibustion heat enters from acupoints and is conducted to deep or visceral organs through related meridians, so that the deep or visceral organs are temporarily heated up, achieving the same effect as moxibustion epidermis.

For example, acupuncture points such as Xue Hai, Liang Qiu, Yinlingquan and Sunset Pass are selected for knee joint moxibustion. Heat energy enters the meridians through acupoints and reaches the knee joint cavity, which temporarily heats up the long-term cold joint cavity, sterilizes and melts garbage, promotes blood circulation and repairs damaged tissues, thus achieving the purpose of treating arthritis.

Another example is moxibustion to treat hepatitis, taking points such as Ganshu, Yanglingquan, Dazhui, Zhongwan, Yinlingquan and Zusanli. Moxibustion heat directly reaches the liver through meridian conduction, killing bacteria in the liver, melting garbage accumulated in the liver and restoring liver function.

3. Except for congenital dysfunction, trauma and aging, human tissues and organs are generally not functional failure, and most diseases are caused by deficiency of qi and blood. The deficiency of qi and blood in human body first leads to the great decrease of the metabolic function of tissues and organs, and then the process of cleaning and discharging metabolic waste in the body is greatly reduced.

The waste accumulated in the body, that is, garbage, will block the meridians and fill the tissues and organs, and further deteriorate the operation of the tissues and organs and the meridians and the generation of qi and blood in the human body. If this vicious circle, you will suffer from diabetes first, then major organ failure, until cancer.

Therefore, health preservation focuses on nourishing qi and blood, and treatment focuses on removing garbage from the body. The removal of garbage in the body depends on the cardiovascular system and meridians, so it is a long process to nourish qi and blood first, and then the cardiovascular system and kidneys. Moxibustion is the most direct method to treat diseases, and it can immediately sterilize, turn waste into garbage and dredge meridians, with almost no side effects, simple operation and low cost.
