The emergence of moxibustion is closely related to the region, people's living habits and the nature of diseases.

Due to the cold climate, high mountains, strong winds, thick ice and deep snow in the northern region, people live a nomadic life, live by mountains, and look forward to being in the wild, eating more animal meat and milk, so they are prone to diseases such as indigestion and abdominal distension.
