The origin of Zhao moxibustion

Moxibustion existed before humans learned to use fire.

In ancient times, our ancestors were injured and sick during hunting and work. At that time, there was no medicine and no doctor. We can only find a place to lie down, just lying on a big stone that is scalding by the sun. Very comfortable. After lying down for a while, we accidentally found that the pain eased or stopped, and the immobile parts moved. Not counting once, after two, three and many times, a conditioned reflex will form in our ancient brain-temperature and heat can relieve pain. So, when any part of their body hurts, he will lie on a very hot big stone or burn the painful part with a very hot small stone. The hot stone is limited by the weather and place, so when human beings learn to use fire actively, they pick up a branch or a handful of hay and light it, and actively smoke their painful parts. In this way, moxibustion, the first method in human history to relieve one's own pain and treat one's own diseases, was officially announced. Therefore, ancient moxibustion is a method to relieve pain and treat diseases by warming or baking with fire.

There are two methods of moxibustion: one is moxa cone moxibustion and the other is moxa stick moxibustion.

Moxibustion of moxa sticks is to dry moxa sticks, grind them into powder, then press them into moxa sticks with a wooden barrel mold, and then light the smoked acupoints with moxa sticks.

Moxibustion is to roll moxa sticks into cigarettes. Moxibustion acupoint is moxa stick moxibustion.

The traditional moxibustion method of traditional Chinese medicine is finally shaped into moxibustion method with wormwood as raw material, which is a great development of ancient moxibustion method. In fact, moxibustion has broken through the concept of single hyperthermia of moxibustion in ancient times and introduced the concept of drug treatment, because wormwood itself is a Chinese medicine with strong efficacy of blindly warming yang.
