What is the principle of moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a moxibustion method in acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine. Its principle is that the moxa heat generated by moxibustion materials made of moxa leaves stimulates acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface, and regulates the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating the activity of menstruation, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

The application of moxibustion originated from the use of fire after human mastery, and the time was also in the Stone Age. 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.

Extended data:

Insomnia symptoms often appear after moxibustion. If insomnia occurs after the first moxibustion, it is also a reaction. At this time, insomnia is mostly fatigue or lethargy.

But after a period of moxibustion, if there is little sleep at this time, there will be no fatigue and weakness, but will be full of energy because of moxibustion.

At this time, don't worry about insufficient sleep time, and don't deliberately use sleeping pills to make up enough sleep time, mainly depending on whether your energy is sufficient. Moxibustion will soon improve the function of spleen.
