Moxibustion, a moxibustion method in acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, is a treatment method that uses moxa heat produced by moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface and regulate the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating menstrual activities, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing diseases and treating diseases.
Moxibustion originated in ancient China, because its mechanism of action is similar to acupuncture therapy, and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture is usually used together, so it is called acupuncture.
The essence of moxibustion is heating and external application. Heating and keeping it at a suitable temperature has a very good effect on solving some slight pain and discomfort caused by poor blood circulation. This is similar to the principle of human fever. Local or systemic heating can promote circulation.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moxibustion can regulate yin and yang and viscera, and has the effects of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and supporting yang and resolving hard mass. Now medicine also proves that moxibustion can promote metabolism, enhance blood circulation, regulate endocrine, improve immunity and prevent diseases.
In fact, we can simply sort out whether moxibustion is useful or not. Moxibustion has a good therapeutic effect on various inflammatory pains, such as mammary gland hyperplasia, prostatitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, hysteromyoma, uterine cold, hysteromyoma and a series of other gynecological problems.
Moreover, moxibustion is something handed down from ancestors, which has a history of more than 2,000 years in China and is also listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. In fact, the main feature of moxibustion is trinity and four effects in one.
Specifically, the "three" are three levels: treatment, disease-free medical treatment, and disease-free health care; The four effects are to drive away cold pathogens, replenish Yuanyang, dredge meridians and regulate healthy qi. Therefore, moxibustion can not only preserve health but also cure diseases. At the same time, moxibustion has an immediate effect on acute diseases, has no toxic and side effects on chronic diseases, and is inexpensive and easy to adhere to.
