Hello, the medical principle of sand moxibustion is that high-temperature sand is transmitted to the deep part of human tissue through gentle extrusion, and sand mud has good warmth retention, so it increases blood flow, promotes blood circulation, thereby dilating peripheral blood vessels, improving microcirculation, promoting cell metabolism, adjusting the physiological response of the whole body, activating and restoring nerve function, improving the metabolism of affected parts, activating immune system function and adjusting the overall balance of the body, thus achieving the effects of treatment and health care. The slight massage of sand on human body can promote the return of blood and lymph, strengthen the absorption of exudate, and has a good effect on all kinds of chronic old sprains, contusions and lumbar muscle strain. In addition, it is also very beneficial to epilepsy, adhesion and softening of connective tissue. It also has a good absorption effect on edema, hematoma and exudate. Acting on peripheral nerves can reduce their excitability and muscle tension, so it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects on peripheral neuritis and can relieve muscle tension and spasm. In addition, high-temperature sand particles also have the function of sterilization.
When sand moxibustion, we should pay attention to heatstroke and the rapid consumption of water in the body. You must drink plenty of water and electrolytes to supplement, change clothes frequently, and avoid sand from entering the eyes, ears and other organs. When using sand moxibustion, we should pay attention to the diameter of sand grains, preferably around 0.25mm, so as to avoid tiny particles inhaling dust and large particles damaging the cortex. Also pay attention to the cleanliness and temperature of the sand (generally about 40 degrees) to avoid burns. Of course, some diseases are not suitable for sand moxibustion, such as malignant tumor, high fever, serious heart disease, anemia, severe impairment of liver and kidney function, menstrual period of pregnant women and women, open wounds, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, acute suppurative diseases, etc., and such patients are not suitable for sand burial treatment. Before sand moxibustion, patients should have a physical examination and seek the doctor's advice on the use of sand moxibustion.
