Moxibustion is processed from moxa leaves, moxa leaves burning produced by the heat of moxa to stimulate the surface of the body acupuncture points, through the stimulation of the meridian qi to regulate the human body disordered state.
The book says that "where the meridian qi passes, the main treatment reaches", so moxibustion is effective for all kinds of symptoms.
1, cold and damp into the body, moxibustion is better than needles. The heat of moxa can warm the meridians, dispel dampness and cold, with half the effort.
2, Yang deficiency body, moxibustion is also better than the needle. Mugwort is a pure Yang product, which can reach the meridians, replenish the deficiency and replenish the qi in order to restore health.
3, stasis and blood blockage, moxibustion is very suitable. Cold evil blockage, blood does not flow smoothly to form blood stasis, moxibustion can be through the warmth of the moxa, running qi and blood.
4, Yin deficiency can also moxibustion. "Yang born then yin long", moxibustion to replenish qi, natural spleen and stomach qi, so eat, grow well.
5, heat and toxicity of the disease, you can also moxibustion. Because the heat can line heat, this is a lot of clinical verification.
The contraindications of moxibustion:
1, it is generally not recommended that the body or emotional excesses of moxibustion, such as too much anger, too much fatigue. The body is too weak, or depending on the situation.
2, children do not use much, only the body column point can be, this is can increase height, promote the growth of the point.
3, pregnant women are not recommended, for fear of causing miscarriage of premature birth, but if the fetal position is not correct, moxibustion can be corrected.
Lastly, the choice of moxa is also very important, I just use the 20:1 or 35:1 3-year moxa of the Changsheng crane, enough to use. No need for 5 years, 7 years or whatever.
A ratio of about 20:1 is fine, you don't need to ask for much, too much is often false.
