What is the function of moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a therapeutic method to prevent and treat diseases by stimulating acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface with moxa heat generated by moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi, and regulating the physiological and biochemical functions of human disorders by stimulating menstrual activities. Moxibustion therapy is the soul treasure of China traditional culture and an important therapy of traditional Chinese medicine. Thousands of years of application show that moxibustion is effective. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moxibustion has a wide range of functions, and modern research also shows that moxibustion has many functions. Moxibustion is mainly based on warming meridians and dispelling cold, and Artemisia argyi leaves are warm. Moxibustion after ignition can make the heat directly reach the skin meridians, warm the middle warmer and replenish qi, and promote blood circulation. The heat generated by burning moxa sticks can dispel the cold and dampness in the body, thus achieving various diseases caused by blockage of meridians. The most typical manifestation of meridian obstruction is pain. When the meridians are opened, the qi and blood flow smoothly, and the pain naturally disappears. This is what Chinese medicine says: general rules don't hurt? .

Therefore, moxibustion is the application of its warm stimulation, which plays the role of warming meridians and dredging collaterals. Through the warm stimulation of moxibustion on meridian points, it can warm meridians and dispel cold, strengthen qi and blood circulation, and achieve the purpose of conditioning. Therefore, moxibustion can be used for joint pain and diarrhea caused by blood stasis and cold, and the effect is very significant. Moxibustion in winter has a good effect on warming meridians, dispelling cold and dredging collaterals. Every winter, some people always dress thicker than others, but their hands and feet are still cold. In the view of Chinese medicine, this is a manifestation of insufficient body yang, which cannot be warmed. Because the body temperature is determined by the movement of qi and blood, with sufficient qi and blood, the body temperature will be normal. Where it is cold means that the meridians in this place are impassable and qi and blood are difficult to reach. It is more common that the limbs are cold, especially the feet are cold, which is often a signal that the meridians are blocked. Therefore, moxibustion should be used to warm up the body, eliminate cold and dampness, make the body completely frozen, and the meridians are naturally smooth.

Moxibustion can detoxify and release heat. In the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded in the book "Prepare for Urgent Dry Gold Prescription" that moxibustion had a cathartic effect on excess heat of viscera. Many places in the book also discuss the moxibustion treatment of carbuncle caused by heat toxin accumulation and internal heat syndrome of yin deficiency. Zhu Danxi, a doctor in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, believed that moxibustion was used to treat heat syndrome. In short, moxibustion can induce heat with heat and make it go out. Moxibustion can dispel cold and clear heat, which shows that it has a two-way adjustment effect on the original functional state of the body.
