Moxibustion
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a moxibustion method which uses wormwood as the main raw material to make moxa sticks or moxa sticks, and then smokes or lightly burns the points on the body surface. According to the different operation methods of moxibustion, moxibustion can be divided into direct moxibustion and indirect moxibustion, and indirect moxibustion can be divided into isolated moxibustion and hanging moxibustion. In terms of effect, direct moxibustion has the best effect, better than acupuncture. But there is a disadvantage, that is, direct contact with the skin to implement moxibustion, the patient is very painful. In order to alleviate the pain of patients, many improvements have been made in the operation method of moxibustion. The first is a layer of east-west moxibustion, such as ginger moxibustion. But because this moxibustion still hurts, I simply hang the moxa stick at a certain distance from my skin for moxibustion. This is the hanging moxibustion now. According to different operation methods, it is divided into rotary moxibustion, mild moxibustion, bird pecking moxibustion and round-trip moxibustion.
Moxibustion with moxa sticks is often used for self-moxibustion because moxa sticks are easy to use and control.
Sit down, relax naturally, breathe smoothly, have no distractions, and expose the moxibustion site. Pay attention to prevent sparks from falling on the skin during moxibustion to avoid burns.
Hanging moxibustion at acupoints of upper limbs: Neiguan.
Hanging moxibustion at acupoints of lower limbs: Yongquan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao.
Passive moxibustion
Passive moxibustion means asking others to help with moxibustion. Both moxa stick moxibustion and moxa stick moxibustion can be selected according to the situation. Generally, moxa stick moxibustion is more difficult and needs to be studied by heart. Moxibustion with moxa sticks is relatively easy to operate and control, and everyone can choose according to their own feelings.
Moxibustion generally takes supine position or prone position. Relax naturally, don't be nervous, be happy. Then expose the part to be moxibustion. The performer stands aside or sits down. His arms and body are naturally relaxed, his mind is free from distractions, he is light and easy to operate, he is relaxed calmly, he is not in a hurry, and he is absorbed.
Passive moxibustion is mostly used in chest and abdomen.
The health-preserving acupoints on the back or waist are Qihai, Guanyuan, Zhongyu, Shenque, Huatuo Xieji, Shenshu and Mingmen.

The latest research trends of meridian health preservation;
According to the latest research on channels and collaterals, except the twelve meridians and the eight odd channels, all functional units of the human body are controlled by the corresponding channels, such as islets. At different times of the day, the demand for insulin is different, and the secretion of insulin meets the needs of blood sugar regulation as a whole, so the work of islet must accurately follow up the feedback of blood sugar, otherwise hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia will easily occur. The purpose of meridian health preservation is to balance the supply and demand of qi and blood in all functional units of the whole body and to follow up accurately.
