1. Find out what moxibustion is for first.
The record of moxibustion can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. In the unearthed Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Shang Dynasty, there is such a word: the image is a person lying in bed with a handful of grass on his abdomen, which is very similar to the sign of moxibustion health care. In addition, the "Fifty-two Diseases Prescription" unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha also records a variety of moxibustion methods, among which there is a saying that "wrapped in moxa sticks, epileptic patients are convulsed by moxibustion and rot". At the same time, there is also a record in Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Sensibility that acupuncture is not what it does, but moxibustion is appropriate. Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming and Qing Dynasties also recorded: "Artemisia argyi ... can take real fire from the sun and turn it back to Yuanyang ... Moxibustion can penetrate all meridians, and it is also a great achievement to cure all diseases and evils, which promotes the development of moxibustion."
2. What is the relationship between moxa sticks and moxibustion?
In the above text, we know that moxibustion is a method of health care by burning, directly or indirectly applying appropriate warm stimulation to specific acupoints to heat the meridians to eliminate cold pathogens and regulate the meridians. However, there are some problems in traditional moxibustion, which make it impossible to be widely used. For example, it is easy to leave scars and the equipment is inconvenient to use.
Ai Ai Tie is an innovative product based on traditional moxibustion. While retaining its moxibustion efficacy, it is more convenient and contemporary. Plum blossom design makes wormwood have more heat and better effect.
3. Is the effect of the moxa stick true or false?
Ai Ai Tie is a health product, not a medicine. Its principle is that appropriate warm stimulation is directly or indirectly applied to specific acupoints in the form of cauterization, and the meridians are heated to eliminate cold evil and regulate the meridians, and the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder are adjusted by stimulating the qi-flowing of the meridians. Moxibustion corresponds to acupoints to achieve the purpose of health care.
