The difference between fumigation moxibustion and moxibustion

First: Moxibustion is only aimed at acupoints, and its scope of action is relatively small.

Fumigation is not only aimed at acupoints, but also at local or whole skin.

Fumigation mainly depends on heat energy and atomized steam, which increases the intelligent temperature control design and has high safety performance.

Third: Moxibustion can only be aimed at health care, not treatment.

Fumigation can not only preserve health, but also cure diseases. It is widely used, using different drugs to treat different diseases.
