Fan Dongyang's miscellaneous prescriptions in Jin Dynasty recorded that moxibustion to prevent cholera made people "not worry about death" and put forward the concept of "reverse moxibustion" for the first time, that is, preventive moxibustion with moxibustion for health care and prevention. Ju Ying of the Ming Dynasty also said: "Go against it without illness and welcome it before it arrives." It means moxibustion before illness. "Reverse moxibustion" attaches importance to the stimulation and mobilization of human potential and is an important means of "disease prevention".
In ancient Japan, moxibustion was widely used to prolong life, and proverbs such as "Don't walk if you don't moxibustion" and "Moxibustion at the point of air door" were popular. Both men and women should have moxibustion four times in their lives, that is, moxibustion at the age of 18 to prevent colds; Twenty-four-year-old moxibustion at Sanyinjiao point aims to enhance reproductive ability; Forty-year-old moxibustion promotes spleen and stomach function and prevention; Moxibustion of Zusanli and Quchi in the elderly can prevent it. Moxibustion at Quchi can make eyes bright and teeth firm.
Application of moxibustion in health care
"Bian Que Heart Sutra" said: "When people are not ill, they often moxibustion Guanyuan, Qihai, Mingmen and Zhongyu ... Although they have not achieved longevity, they can still live for more than 100 years." You Yun: "When I (Dou Cai) was 50 years old, I used to moxibustion Guanyuan for more than 100 years ... I gradually became light and healthy, and I envied eating ... I often did this every year, so I became healthy in my old age." "The Secret of Outer Taiwan": "Li San nurtures the qi of heaven, and Li San moxibustion can make the vitality last, so it is called moxibustion longevity." In Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao was an active advocate of moxibustion "preventing disease". He pointed out that "there is no cure for plaster moxibustion" and "moxibustion makes people feel healthy and energetic". In Japan, people advocate body column moxibustion in infancy, that is, shortly after the baby is born, moxibustion with moxa cone the size of a wheat grain is about 3 strong and lasts for three to ten days, which can promote healthy development.
Moxibustion has broad health care prospects.

Intervening some safe and simple methods in time when the body is still in a "disease-free" state is not only effective, less painful, but also low in cost. Moxibustion's theory of "preventing disease" lasted for more than two thousand years, and it was highly praised by doctors in past dynasties. Today, moxibustion still occupies a place in the medical field with its unique curative effect, convenience and economy, and plays a wider role in preventing, improving health, delaying aging and improving people's quality of life.
