Ai is pure yang, and moxibustion can tonify yang, strengthen the body resistance and drive away evil spirits. Moxibustion in summer, when the yang is the most vigorous, can use the pure yang that loves fire and the double yang that is hot in summer to act on the human body, helping to get through the meridians, get rid of dampness and cold, improve physical fitness and restore human health.
Since there are so many benefits of moxibustion in summer, which acupoints are more effective? Today, I would like to recommend several important points for health preservation. Moxibustion of these acupoints in summer can play a very good role in health care, dispelling cold and dehumidification.
Zhongyu is known as the "soul point" of the stomach. Chinese medicine believes that Zhongwan point has the effects of invigorating spleen and stomach, tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi, and can regulate various stomach discomfort, especially relieving stomach pain and regulating indigestion.
The long summer is a good time to nourish the spleen and stomach. In summer, people often eat some cold food because of their body heat and thirst for cold. For people with insufficient yang, the warmer the weather, the colder the body, and the more frequent and serious the occurrence of stomach pain.
Therefore, moxibustion at Zhongwan point in summer can warm the stomach and relieve pain, enhance the function of spleen and stomach and maintain health.
Shenque, also known as navel, is known as "the foundation of nature and the root of life". Moxibustion on Shenque, also known as "umbilical therapy", umbilical therapy, especially ginger-separated moxibustion umbilical therapy, has the effects of warming and nourishing Yuanyang, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach. Regular moxibustion at Shenque point can strengthen the body and prolong life.
The innate strength of human body is closely related to Shenque point, so Shenque point is still the hub to balance yin and yang and regulate viscera.
Guanyuan point can regulate the three yin meridians of liver, spleen and kidney, and has the functions of invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, nourishing liver and stopping diarrhea, tonifying kidney and replenishing essence. Frequent moxibustion at Guanyuan point can restore the vitality and kidney qi of human body, regulate triple energizer and lower energizer, and regulate diseases such as urinary tract, digestion, liver and gallbladder, such as spleen deficiency and cold diarrhea.
Moxibustion at Guanyuan point in summer can especially strengthen the body, and has a good conditioning effect on general weakness, qi deficiency and fatigue, and abdominal deficiency and cold.
Zusanli (Zusanli) is a big and important acupoint in the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. Moxibustion, acupuncture or massage Zusanli can regulate the spleen and stomach, and have the functions of dredging meridians, expelling wind and removing dampness, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil.
Modern medicine has conducted a comprehensive study on Zusanli point: it is found that moxibustion or massage at Zusanli point can improve the activity of various digestive enzymes, regulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite and help digestion; Improve the transformation rate of T lymphocytes and adjust the imbalance of copper and zinc.
Therefore, Zusanli is also known as the "Longevity Point". Regular moxibustion at Zusanli can enhance physical strength, relieve fatigue, prevent aging and prolong life.
Modern people suffer from hyperlipidemia. Moxibustion can effectively regulate hyperlipidemia, especially for people with severe phlegm and dampness in the body. Moxibustion at Fenglong point can be used for many purposes. Red lung can not only dissolve visible phlegm-that is, cough with too much phlegm, but also dissolve invisible phlegm-that is, feel phlegm in the throat but can't cough it out and swallow it.
Summer heat is heavy and wet, and many people will have the phenomenon of spleen dampness and stomach cold. At this time, moxibustion at Zhongwan, Zusanli and Fenglong points may be beneficial to regulating the spleen and stomach, resolving phlegm and removing dampness.
