Be a "wormwood" companion (tool) 1. Moxibustion: roll the moxa stick into a column and divide it into non-smoked moxa sticks and smoked moxa sticks. The efficacy of smoked moxa sticks is stronger than that of non-smoked moxa sticks, and the effect is better.
Moxibustion stick is more effective than moxibustion box and Moxibustion cup, but it is usually necessary to hang moxibustion by hand, which tests the arm strength, and many acupoints on the back can't be touched, so it is very easy to fall down and burn if you are not careful. It is best to choose moxa sticks for more than 5 years. The longer the time, the stronger the efficacy.

When applying moxibustion, put the moxa stick or moxa stick into the small tube of the moxibustion stick, and put it on the acupoint after lighting, which can directly contact with the skin and is not easy to burn. However, the effect is slightly weaker than that of direct moxibustion.
