Function of moxa stick: Moxibustion is one of the oldest medical technologies in China, which belongs to external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. It originated in ancient times, formed on the anniversary of Shang Dynasty and lasted for thousands of years. Warm moxibustion for health preservation is a special moxa stick made of wormwood, the king of herbs. After lighting it, put it into a warm moxibustion apparatus and roll it on the meridian or the affected part to help the human body fully warm the meridian, warm the vitality, harmonize the qi and blood, moisten the complexion and glow the healthy spirit. Energy release massage emphasizes the coordination of all parts of the body, the harmony of body system and mental consciousness. At the same time, Chinese massage methods such as scraping, cupping, dredging collaterals and activating essential oil can dredge meridians and lymph, and achieve the effects of relieving stress, relaxing nerves and conditioning the internal organs. It can completely improve qi stagnation, blood stasis, swelling and numbness, make people release energy to the maximum extent, relieve fatigue, enjoy relaxation, and reach the highest state of harmony and perfect unity inside and outside. Warm moxibustion has six major effects on health. Warming tendons and dispelling cold, expelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome; Warming meridians and dredging collaterals, promoting blood circulation and relieving fatigue; Warming the interior, strengthening the internal organs and strengthening the internal organs; Warming yin to tonify deficiency, restoring yang to consolidate and remove; Promoting qi and blood circulation, purging fire and removing blood stasis; Balance yin and yang, health care and disease prevention.

Eye: Improve eye bags, dark circles, drooping eyelids and wrinkles, delay eye relaxation and aging, and restore eye luster. Usage of Ai Chen bar 1. Acupoint moxibustion will light one end of a long strip, and then smoke moxibustion or burn moxibustion on the acupoint. During moxibustion, the lighted end is about 10-30mm away from the skin, and each acupoint is generally moxibustion for about 10 minutes. Moxibustion is suitable for warm and red skin, and does not cause burning pain or burn the skin. Moxibustion methods are divided into mild moxibustion, rotary moxibustion and bird pecking moxibustion. It can also be used with various moxibustion devices. Such as moxibustion at Zusanli and Qihai points. 2. Local moxa sticks can be fumigated with 3-6 sticks of moxa sticks, tied in a row with adhesive tape, and fumigated at a distance of 10-30mm from the skin. For example, dysmenorrhea: six moxa sticks are used to pump the lower abdomen to the navel twice a week for 30-40 minutes each time, which can warm the meridians and promote the blood circulation of the lower abdomen. For example, scapulohumeral periarthritis: You can use 3-5 moxa sticks to moxibustion from Jingfengchi point to Jianfeng point and Jianjing point for about 5 minutes. When fumigating, be sure to keep the indoor temperature and not catch cold. Such as abdominal cold and diarrhea. You can smoke the lower abdomen to the navel with a few sticks of moxa stick, which can dispel the cold. If the child has enuresis, accompanied by cold hands and feet, pale face, pale tongue, white tongue coating and other symptoms, you can use 1-2 sticks of clear moxa to smoke the navel and its surroundings for 5- 10 minutes, and then smoke the spine and kidneys at the back, which can replenish qi and kidney and dispel kidney cold. If you have bad breath, purple tongue or black tongue coating, it means that the spleen and stomach are very cold and accompanied by meridian block. You can pump the lower abdomen around the navel for 20 minutes every day, once every other day for a week, and the bad breath will disappear. 3, whole body moxa stick fumigation (1) Drink ginger jujube tea before whole body moxa sticks. Boil 3 slices of ginger, 10 red dates (pitted) and 10 longan (pitted) in water for 15 minutes, and pour into a pulverizer to make paste. After smoking, eat more beef and shrimp to replenish energy. (2) Slice ginger, steam it in a pot until it is soft. (3) Use 6-8 sticks of moxa sticks in summer (8- 10 sticks in winter), buy a big clip in a stationery store, hold the moxa sticks, or tie the moxa sticks in a row with adhesive tape and light them. (4) Stick the steamed ginger slices on your back. The lit rows of moxa sticks keep a distance of half an inch to one inch from the ginger slices and slowly move up and down. Usually smoked for 30 ~ 40 minutes. When you feel pain, try to stay away. At the beginning of smoking, some people will feel very hot and painful, because the meridians are blocked, and a lot of heat cannot be dissipated quickly. If the meridians in the back are clear, even if the whole row of moxa sticks is close to the back, it will not feel pain, but will only feel warm and comfortable. Take out the ginger slices after smoking. As long as the skin under the ginger slices is wet and the ginger slices are wet, it means that the body is cold and wet. For people with less cold and dampness in the body, ginger slices should be smoked with a lot of moxa sticks for dozens of minutes, and the skin should be crisp and dry. (5) Stick ginger slices around the lower abdomen and navel and smoke them up and down for 20-30 minutes. (6) From ankle to knee, up and down, pumping back and forth 30 ~ 50 times on the outside and inside of both calves. Self-care moxibustion 1. Health-care moxibustion points for prolonging life: Zusanli (located 3 inches below the knee on the anterolateral side of the calf and a horizontal finger outside the anterior tibial crest), Qihai (located under the navel of the abdominal midline 1.5 inches) and Guanyuan (located 3 inches below the navel of the abdominal midline). The first group: Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli on the left; The second group, Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli on the right. Methods: After selecting appropriate acupoints, the moxa sticks were lit and aimed at the first group of acupoints respectively. Each point is suspended for 10 minute, with the skin flushing of each point as the degree. The next day, the second group of acupoints were suspended and moxibustion was performed in the same way. This alternating moxibustion lasts for three months as a course of treatment. Rest for a week before continuing the second course of treatment. It should be noted that the distance between moxa fire and skin should be the maximum heat that moxibustion practitioners can tolerate. Be careful not to burn your skin. Explanation: Guanyuan, Qihai and Zusanli are important acupoints for human health. Moxibustion once a day can regulate and improve human immune function and enhance people's disease resistance. Bian Que wrote in the book Heart Sutra in Song Dynasty: "When people are not ill, they often moxibustion Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Ming Guan and Zhong Wan. Although they can't live forever, they can live a hundred years. " Especially for women, after moxibustion at these three points, they feel refreshed and radiant, and the whole body, especially the lower abdomen, is very comfortable (this feeling is obvious after moxibustion for half a month). 2. Moxibustion points for treating chilblain: Hegu point (located between the first and second metacarpals of the back of hand, near the midpoint of the second metacarpal) and Zusanli point. Method: Massage chilblain for 5 minutes. After selecting the right acupoints, light the moxa stick, aim at the parts where frostbite has occurred or will occur, and hang moxibustion for 3 ~ 5 minutes each, taking local skin flushing as the degree. If chilblain is in the upper limbs or ears, moxibustion at Hegu point must be added for 3 ~ 5 minutes; If chilblain is in the lower limbs, moxibustion at Zusanli point must be added for 3 ~ 5 minutes. The distance between moxa fire and skin is the maximum heat that moxibustion recipients can tolerate. Be careful not to burn your skin. After moxibustion for 3 days, chilblain will not recur. 3. Moxibustion points for the treatment of stomachache: Zhongwan point (located 4 inches above the navel in the midline of the abdomen) and Zusanli point. Methods: After selecting the right acupoints, ignite the moxa stick, and suspend moxibustion at Zhongwan and Zusanli points on one side for 10 minute depending on the skin flushing on the acupoints. Stomach pain can be relieved immediately. It should be noted that the distance between moxa fire and skin should be the maximum heat that moxibustion practitioners can tolerate. Be careful not to burn your skin. Description: Moxibustion at Zusanli point can make stomach spasm tend to relax and strong stomach peristalsis tend to weaken; It can also immediately strengthen the weak stomach peristalsis, and those who don't begin to peristalsis. Therefore, in addition to serious cases such as bleeding and perforation of gastric ulcer, measures or surgical treatment should be taken in time, and other stomachaches caused by whatever reasons, including acute and chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric neurosis in modern medicine, can be immediately relieved by moxibustion with this method. 4, moxibustion beauty moxibustion beauty and general cosmetic beauty, surgical beauty are two different concepts, one is essential and the other is superficial. Cosmetics can cover up your shortcomings, surgery can transform your structure and satisfy your temporary vanity, but these can't give you real health. Health keeps you young, radiant, quick-thinking and responsive, which is another kind of beauty at different levels. By taking medicine, taking injections or exercising, you can achieve the desired effect more or less. But not as good as moxibustion. Moxibustion is the most effective means to eliminate fatigue, restore vitality, supplement physical strength and balance yin and yang. Many women's faces are not smooth and clean, which is often caused by endocrine disorders. In fact, they still owe it to Yang's energy, instead of getting angry. There are several kinds of women: a, women with acne on their faces often take a lot, and "clearing away heat and detoxifying" often has no effect, because their heat is often deficiency heat, not real heat, which is not enough to supplement the yang and make it worse. So moxibustion is the best choice. B. Women with chloasma on their faces are often deficient in liver and kidney, and their constitutions are severely acidic. With moxibustion treatment, there are often unexpected effects. C, puffy women are not overnutrition, overnutrition is just a concept of western medicine. There is no such thing in Chinese medicine. If any Chinese doctor is so arrogant, it must be an amateur. Even obese children are often not overnourished, but lack of yang, often because parents have a lot of sexual life during pregnancy, which leads to congenital deficiency, liver and kidney dysfunction and weakness of spleen transport. Women with puffiness often suffer from excessive uterine bleeding. Too fat is often due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and too thin is often due to liver and kidney deficiency. D, women whose nipples become dim prematurely, or whose nipples are sunken, often have severe liver and kidney deficiency, pulse flushing, cold pulse, and some even cough.
