Moxibustion is an important health care method for modern people. In the moxibustion project, there is a very useful therapy, which is wheat moxibustion. As early as more than 2000 years ago, wheat grain moxibustion was widely used among the people. Before and after the Ming Dynasty, wheat grain moxibustion was the main moxibustion method. So it plays an important role in China traditional medicine. Now I will focus on this therapy for you.

What is wheat grain moxibustion?

Wheat grain moxibustion is a common direct moxibustion method in moxibustion. It is a technology of rubbing moxa sticks into mugs the size of wheat grains and directly applying moxibustion on the skin to prevent diseases. Because it is easy to leave scars and even purulent, it is also called "scar moxibustion" and "purulent moxibustion". It is characterized by the need for little moxa, less smoke, large or small stimulation and obvious burning sensation. It has a wide range of applications, especially for arthralgia due to wind-cold-dampness, asthma and cough due to cold phlegm, and various diseases caused by deficiency of zang-fu organs and deficiency of yuan-yang, and is very commonly used in clinic.

What are the specific functions of wheat grain moxibustion?

"You still pull out the needle, you still have snow and dirt, you still have a knot, and you still have to close it." This is the description of wheat moxibustion in Lingshu Nine Needles and Twelve Origins, which directly expounds the immediate characteristics of its acupuncture. It's like pulling a thorn out of meat, washing a stain with snow, untie a knot, and dredge a waterway. Acupuncture is like a hero, which can grasp the key points in an instant, clean and neat, and also has a smooth environment for qi and blood operation.

Both of them are legendary therapies in external therapy, and acupuncture is often called acupuncture in later generations. As an ancient moxibustion method with the same name as long snake moxibustion, wheat grain moxibustion also has the effects of pricking collaterals, removing snow pollution, resolving knots and sealing. After doing wheat grain moxibustion for a period of time, even if you stop doing it, the effect of moxibustion is still acting on your body.

Moreover, compared with other moxibustion methods, wheat grain moxibustion also has its unique advantages:

1. Less pain;

2. The damage is minimal;

3. The smoke is extremely small;

4. Compared with hanging moxibustion and other mild moxibustion, the effect is more lasting;

5. The sensation is obvious, and the curative effect is direct (deep moxibustion feels like acupuncture, and it is conducted along the meridian).

It can be seen that wheat grain moxibustion has indeed played a very good role in preventing and treating various diseases, especially in improving the immunity of the body. At the same time, due to the advantages of concentrated moxibustion area and strong thermal permeability, scar moxibustion plays a magical role in the treatment of chronic diseases, stubborn diseases and some critical diseases in internal medicine.

Although the effect of wheat grain moxibustion is good, please don't operate it easily at home, otherwise it will easily burn yourself. If you want to try the effect, you can see a professional doctor for treatment.
