2 where should mud moxibustion be applied to remove dampness? If mud moxibustion is used to improve the humidity, it is recommended to apply it to the meridians of the spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the foundation of the human body. If the spleen meridian is unbalanced and the metabolism of water and liquid is abnormal, it is easy to produce moisture. Therefore, mud moxibustion of spleen meridian can play a certain role in regulating dampness, which is beneficial to big belly, Taibai, Gongsun, Shangqiu, Sanyinjiao and leakage.
What are the benefits of applying mud moxibustion in summer? The external temperature of the skin in the moxibustion area can be raised to 50-60℃, so that the internal temperature of the skin can form a thermal environment locally. Moreover, the warm stimulation of mud moxibustion can make local skin hyperemia, dilate capillaries, enhance local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, which is beneficial to the discharge of cold and moisture in the body.
The heat generated by mud-warming moxibustion can stimulate healthy qi, promote blood-gas circulation, and warm and tonify human viscera and yang through the focus or specific parts. At the same time, mud moxibustion physical therapy in hot summer is conducive to the rise of yang in the body and has a certain conditioning effect on people with yang deficiency.
Regulating immune mud moxibustion can also regulate human immune function, because the mud moxibustion applied to acupoints not only stimulates the acupoints themselves, but also stimulates the function of regulating meridians, so that it can better play the role of promoting qi and blood circulation and regulating yin and yang, thus playing a better immune regulation role for the whole human body.
The best time of mud moxibustion in a day is not strictly regulated. Mud moxibustion can be carried out at any time of the day, which does not affect the rest, but it is best to avoid mud moxibustion on an empty stomach, full meal and excessive fatigue, and it is recommended to control the time of each moxibustion for about half an hour, so as to better absorb and utilize the medicinal components and transferred heat.
