Aijiu beauty
The beauty of moxibustion is different from the general beauty of cosmetic surgery and surgery, one is essential and the other is superficial. Cosmetics can cover up your shortcomings, surgery can transform your structure and satisfy your temporary vanity, but these can't give you real health. Health keeps you young, radiant, quick-thinking and responsive, which is another kind of beauty at different levels. By taking medicine, taking injections or exercising, you can achieve the desired effect more or less. But not as good as moxibustion. Moxibustion is the most effective means to eliminate fatigue, restore vitality, supplement physical strength and balance yin and yang. Many women's faces are not smooth and clean, which is often caused by endocrine disorders. In fact, they still lack yang, rather than getting angry in general.
There are several kinds of women:
1, women who have acne on their faces often have severe vaginal discharge, and "clearing away heat and toxic materials" often has no effect, because their heat is often deficiency heat, not real heat, which is not enough to supplement the yang, let alone aggravate the condition. So moxibustion is the best choice.
2. Women with chloasma on their faces are often deficient in liver and kidney, and their constitutions are severely acidic. With moxibustion treatment, there are often unexpected effects.
3, puffy woman is not overnutrition, overnutrition is just a concept of western medicine. There is no such thing in Chinese medicine. If any Chinese doctor is so arrogant, it must be an amateur. Even obese children are often not overnourished, but lack of yang, often because parents have a lot of sexual life during pregnancy, which leads to congenital deficiency, liver and kidney dysfunction and weakness of spleen transport. Women with puffiness often suffer from excessive uterine bleeding. Too fat is often due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and too thin is often due to liver and kidney deficiency.
4. Women whose nipples become dim prematurely, or whose nipples are sunken, often have severe liver and kidney deficiency, pulse flushing, cold pulse, and some even cough. Moxibustion has a good effect on these problems.
Regulate yin and yang
The balance of yin and yang will be healthy, while people with imbalance of yin and yang will have various diseases. Moxibustion has the function of regulating yin and yang, thus restoring the unbalanced balance of yin and yang.
Regulate qi and blood
Qi is the source of human life, and blood is the basic substance of human beings. Sufficient qi and blood, sufficient qi, human life activities can be normal. Moxibustion can invigorate qi and nourish blood, dredge qi-flowing, and promote middle qi, thus achieving the purpose of health care.
Wentong meridian
Meridian is the channel of qi and blood circulation, and smooth meridian is beneficial to qi and blood circulation and nutrient distribution. When pathogenic factors such as cold and dampness invade the human body, they often block the meridians and lead to diseases. With the help of its function of warming skin, moxibustion warms skin meridians, promotes blood circulation and unblocks collaterals, thus treating various diseases caused by stagnation of cold blood and obstruction of meridians.
strengthen body resistance and eliminate disease
Righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done. People have strong resistance and strong defense ability against the outside world, so diseases do not occur. Moxibustion through moxibustion at certain acupoints, such as Dazhui, Zusanli, Qihai and Guanyuan, can cultivate people's healthy qi and enhance their ability to prevent and treat diseases. Moxibustion at different acupoints and positions can produce different nourishing effects. Whether it is regulating yin and yang, regulating qi and blood, warming channels and collaterals, strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, moxibustion has a direct or indirect tonic effect on human body, especially on deficiency-cold syndrome. It is this effect of warming and tonifying yang and harmonizing qi and blood that helps people to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases and maintaining health.
Activating qi and dredging collaterals
Meridians are distributed in all parts of the human body, including internal organs and external tissues such as muscles and bones. In a normal body, qi and blood circulate endlessly in the meridians and run in sequence. If wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire and other external factors invade the human body or local qi and blood, and the meridians are blocked, there will be symptoms such as swelling and pain and a series of dysfunction. At this time, moxibustion at some acupoints can play a role in regulating qi and blood, dredging meridians and balancing functions, and can be used for sores in clinic.
Fu yang gu tuo
Life depends on Yang Qi. If you get it, you will live, but if you lose it, you will die. Therefore, yang disease is full of yin, while yin deficiency is cold and syncope, or Yuan Qi deficiency is trapped, and your pulse is weak. If you are very ill, the yang is weak, and the yin and yang are separated, you can use heavy moxibustion to get rid of the yin cold. This is beyond the reach of other acupoint stimulation therapy. "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" points out: "Fever will induce benefit, cold hands and feet ... If the pulse is not up, moxibustion will strengthen the body." . "Li Xia, cold hands and feet, irritable, moxibustion Jue Yin, no pulse, moxibustion". Explain that all critical patients with yang deficiency, such as vomiting, diarrhea, cold hands and feet, weak pulse and so on. For example, moxibustion at Guanyuan and Shenque points with big moxa cone can often help strengthen yang and relieve adverse events, and is often used in clinic for stroke and acute abdomen.
Promoting yang to relieve depression
Due to the weakness and instability of yang qi, it can cause upper deficiency and lower stagnation, resulting in proctoptosis, yin stagnation, prolonged diarrhea, metrorrhagia, and slippery tires. In Lingshu Jing, it is said that "depression leads to moxibustion", so moxibustion is often used to treat sagging viscera due to qi deficiency. Li Dongyuan, the founder of the theory of spleen and stomach, also thinks that "people who fall into the trap will not catch a cold" and "there is nothing between heaven and earth but Yin and Yang". Yang is outside and Yin is inside. In this case, if the yang sinks into the yin, it is the yin that lives on it and restores its yang. If the pulse condition and symptoms are all seen outside, use moxibustion. " Therefore, moxibustion therapy can not only warm and help yang, promote yang to relieve depression, prevent miscarriage and consolidate menstruation, but also have curative effect on those who have unstable weiyang and loose acupoints.
Aijiu beauty
Anyone who knows about moxibustion knows that moxibustion has the functions of warming yang and benefiting qi, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, removing blood stasis and resolving stagnation, and tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi. Moxibustion on Guanyuan can maximize the consumption of excess fat in the body and achieve the effect of bodybuilding. After the moxa sticks are lit, they are put into a warm moxibustion apparatus to generate warm stimulation, and the moxa oil (or essential oil) penetrates around the meridians or affected areas to help the human body fully warm up, dredge the meridians, warm up vitality, harmonize qi and blood, and moisturize skin color. Moxibustion is the most effective means to eliminate fatigue, restore vitality, replenish physical strength and balance yin and yang. In short, moxibustion can induce heat with heat, so that heat can be emitted. 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. Especially with the increase of moxibustion and the expansion of clinical scope, this function is more and more recognized by people.
Disease prevention and health care
Doctors in ancient China have long recognized the importance of disease prevention and put forward the academic ideas of "prevention before illness" and "treatment before illness". Moxibustion not only has therapeutic effect, but also has the function of disease prevention and health care, which is one of the methods of disease prevention and health care. The "Emergency Prescription" said: "All officials who travel between Wu and Shu often need moxibustion at three or two places, so don't let the sores burn for the time being. It shows that moxibustion can prevent infectious diseases. Acupuncture Dacheng mentioned that moxibustion at Zusanli can prevent stroke. There is a folk saying that "if you want to be healthy, Li Sanchang will not do it" and "Li Sanjiu cures all diseases". Because moxibustion can warm yang and tonify deficiency, moxibustion at Zusanli and Zhongwan can make the stomach full of qi, and the stomach is a sea of water valleys, and all the five internal organs are affected by it, so the stomach is full of qi, so the qi and blood are full; Mingmen is the true fire of the human body and the foundation of human beings; Guanyuan and Qihai are places where Jingxue is stored. Acupoint moxibustion can make people feel full of stomach qi, Yang Qi and essence and blood, thus enhancing the body's resistance, making diseases and pathogens difficult to commit, and achieving the purpose of disease prevention and health care. In modern times, the disease prevention and health care function of moxibustion has become one of the important health care methods.
