There are two main methods of beauty care of moxa sticks: direct moxibustion and moxibustion separated from objects, which are similar to the effect of moxa cakes in beauty salons, but there are also differences.

Direct moxibustion refers to moxibustion by directly acting on the skin surface after the moxa stick is ignited. This method can promote blood circulation, relax muscles and relieve fatigue, and is suitable for the skin of face and neck, acupuncture points and joints around eyes.

Barrier moxibustion means that moxa sticks are moxibustion through ginger slices, garlic slices, electrodes and other items. This method can protect the skin, prevent burns, and achieve health care effect through moxibustion.

Compared with the moxa sticks in beauty salons, the function of moxa sticks is slightly different. Ai cake is generally pressed with moxa, and moxa sticks are rolled into moxa sticks and lit. In beauty salons, moxibustion is often done by electric heating. Although less smoke is produced, the effect may not be as good as that of open fire moxibustion.

Generally speaking, whether it is direct moxibustion, penetrating moxibustion or using moxa cake, it can achieve the effect of beauty and health preservation, but the specific use method needs to be selected according to personal circumstances and needs.
