Li Pan, a senior rehabilitation therapist, expert of traditional Chinese medicine in Jin Liang and doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, believes that summer is the time when the skin leaks rain, and people tend to grow outward both physically and psychologically. At this time, the pores are open and the cold will directly enter the body. If you suddenly walk into an air-conditioned room, your pores will shrink sharply. At this time, the alternation of hot and cold can easily lead to muscle cramps and pains. This situation of "two days of ice and fire" has long been commonplace in daily life, and the direct consequence is that the number of people with neck and shoulder pain has soared.
How to deal with the shoulder pain caused by air conditioning?
Li Pan said, the first thing to know is the cause of shoulder pain. Moxibustion can achieve the best nourishing effect in the sunny summer in nature. This is also the summer moxibustion theory of "treating winter diseases in summer". The moxa heat generated by moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi stimulates acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface, and regulates the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorders by stimulating menstrual activities, thus achieving the purpose of "preventing and treating diseases".
Jin Liang, a doctor in China, uses a customized large-scale Lei Huo moxibustion. This moxa stick has more firepower and deeper penetration than ordinary moxa sticks, and some auxiliary medicinal materials are added to further improve the curative effect of moxibustion. In addition, before moxibustion, professional doctors will choose appropriate parts for moxibustion according to specific problems after seeing a doctor, so as to achieve the goal of symptomatic treatment.
Moxibustion should be applied to these acupoints.

Matters needing attention and taboos of moxibustion
Pay special attention to the following points when moxibustion. Don't be too full or hungry during moxibustion. Moxibustion should not be done immediately after meals. It is recommended to do it in half an hour. After moxibustion, drink warm water slowly and replenish water to facilitate detoxification; After moxibustion, the pores of the whole body are open and it is easy to catch cold. Therefore, it is not advisable to wash your hands and face with cold water after moxibustion, and take a bath after 1-2 hours; It is normal to feel tired, weak and depressed after moxibustion. At this time, the body is resting, so you can rest more and keep your mood calm and relaxed. After moxibustion, different people have different reactions, some people will have fever, toothache, tinnitus, nosebleeds, dry throat and itching, and some women will have too much or too little menstruation. Actually, this is normal. If these phenomena occur repeatedly, you can slow down the frequency of moxibustion and adjust the amount of moxibustion until the symptoms are relieved.
Chinese medicine Jin Liang reminds you that the suitable season for Chinese medicine moxibustion therapy is summer; Moxibustion can warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and tonify human yang. Summer happens to be the time when the yang in nature is the heaviest, and the yang and heat of the two are combined, and the warming effect is stronger. Therefore, moxibustion can achieve the best nourishing effect in the summer with the most sunshine in nature.
