Is moxibustion good for health and treatment?
Moxibustion Many people think that acupuncture and moxibustion are the same therapy, but they are not. Although they are all based on the understanding of human meridians and acupoints, acupuncture only produces physical effects, while moxibustion is a compound effect of medicine and physics.

Moxibustion has many benefits. Moxibustion therapy has a wide range of applications. Moxibustion is to give warm stimulation to the human body through the pure yang heat and drug power of moxa fire, and to adjust the balance of yin and yang of zang-fu organs through the conduction of meridians and acupoints, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases, preventing diseases and preserving health. The main functions of moxibustion are: dredging channels and activating collaterals, promoting qi and blood circulation, eliminating dampness and cold, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, restoring yang to rescue adverse events, preventing diseases and protecting health.

The benefits of moxibustion are also used in diseases of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and ENT, especially mastitis, prostatitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical spondylosis and diabetes. Secondly, moxibustion has a peculiar health care function. After entering the modern society, acupuncture therapy has been developing continuously, but moxibustion has been ignored by people. In the process of moxibustion treatment, burning the meridian points of patients will leave scars on their bodies. Mr. Zhou Meisheng, a master of moxibustion, pointed out that it was the double pain of disease and moxibustion sore that made moxibustion recover, and called for in-depth study of moxibustion to promote its modernization.

In recent years, with people's understanding of the unique efficacy of moxibustion, moxibustion therapy has once again attracted the attention of the medical community, and the pace of modern research is also accelerating. Modern warm moxibustion therapy does not directly contact the skin, but only uses moxa stick hanging moxibustion and moxibustion with moxibustion apparatus for health care and health preservation, and the effect is also very good. It has the characteristics of convenient use, simple operation and no scar left by burning skin.

The benefits of moxibustion can be traced back to ancient times. The ancients used moxibustion to prevent diseases and prolong life, which has a history of thousands of years in China. Huangdi Neijing "Sweating in strong wind, moxibustion means loving points", which is a kind of health moxibustion. According to Zhuangzi, the sage Confucius "moxibustion is not a disease", which also refers to the use of moxibustion for health care. The anti-cancer research of moxibustion made by Japanese people such as Suto Zuo also shows that moxibustion can activate the potential anti-cancer effect in skin tissue and play a role in treating cancer. Dou Cai, a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, compared himself to rebirth, and wrote a medical book Heart Sutra, focusing on supporting Yang. He thinks there are three ways to help Yang since ancient times. Burning moxa is the first, Dan medicine is the second, and aconite is the third. "yang is strong for thousands of years, and being strong will hurt your health", which means that to save your life and live a long life, supporting yang is the only way. Wu Guozhong, a health care master, said: Yang is sufficient for a thousand years, and the method of supporting Yang comes first. Talking about the benefits of moxibustion. Since there are so many benefits, we should vigorously publicize and let moxibustion bring the gospel to more people.
