Xu Liting, a Chinese medicine expert in Jin Liang, called it skin care products. Some people feel good after using some products, while others have not changed after using them. This is because the skin is different and moxibustion is the same. Different physiques will have different reactions if moxibustion is not used. Only by matching acupoints according to individual physical characteristics can we avoid detours and maximize the effect of moxibustion.
Moxibustion in dog days can get twice the result with half the effort in identifying physique.
Constitution of traditional Chinese medicine is divided into nine categories, namely, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, phlegm-dampness, damp-heat, blood stasis, qi stagnation, connotation and peace, among which yin deficiency and yang deficiency are the most common. The so-called physical fitness is essentially trying to correct this deviation and improve it in the direction of yin and yang balance. The first day is coming. Take advantage of the good opportunity of moxibustion and choose the moxibustion method that suits your physique best.
Qi deficiency constitution
Performance, lack of vitality, love sweating, fatigue.
In traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the most basic substance of human body, which consists of essence of kidney, qi absorbed by spleen and stomach to transport Shui Gu, and clear qi inhaled by lung. Therefore, to improve qi deficiency, it is necessary to regulate kidney qi, spleen qi and lung qi at the same time.
yin deficiency constitution
Performance, fear of heat, hands and feet easy to get hot, cheeks easy to flush, dry skin, like cold drinks, impatient.
People with yin deficiency should remember a trick when moxibustion, step by step, and moxibustion more legs. At first, some acupoints were less moxibustion, and I felt adapted. I can gradually increase the amount of moxibustion and gradually adapt to the pure yang of external moxibustion. Moxibustion after adaptation is helpful to improve yin deficiency.
yang deficiency constitution
Performance: cold hands and feet, stomach, back, waist and knees are afraid of cold.
Dog days can be said to be a "godsend opportunity" for such people to recuperate their bodies. Moxibustion of Du meridian can promote yang, stimulate the following acupoints, and appropriately subsidize the deficiency of yang in the body.
Phlegm-dampness constitution
Manifestation: Fat body, soft abdomen, easy to feel sleepy and oily skin.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "all diseases are caused by phlegm", which shows that phlegm-dampness constitution is a "dangerous" constitution.
Damp heat constitution
Performance, easy to oil on the face, acne, sores, mouth odor.
Damp heat constitution is mainly characterized by damp heat and exuberance of yang. In order to change damp heat constitution, moxibustion at Fenglong, Pishu, Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan can achieve the purpose of clearing heat and eliminating dampness.
Blood stasis constitution
Performance: When brushing your teeth, your gums are prone to bleeding, your eyes are often red, and your skin is prone to dryness and roughness.
Warm blood will do, and cold blood will solidify. The formation of blood stasis is related to liver depression and qi stagnation and blood cold, so it is best to do both.
qi depression constitution
Performance, introverted personality, thin figure, easy to be sentimental, flustered, insomnia.
The constitution of qi stagnation can be adjusted by moxibustion, which can soothe the liver and promote qi circulation, relieve depression and dissipate stagnation, and dredge the qi that is boring.
Special donation
Performance, allergic to pollen or certain foods, such as asthma, wheal, itchy throat, stuffy nose, sneezing and so on.
This constitution is also called allergic constitution. Moxibustion conditioning can enhance lung function and stabilize the body.
Peace constitution
Performance, normal body shape, good physical fitness, do not like to get sick.
A peaceful constitution is envied by many people. For people with this constitution, just keep it. Doing dog days moxibustion can also relieve fatigue and relax.
No matter what kind of constitution, we should pay attention to health care at ordinary times, only once a year in dog days. Take advantage of this good opportunity of moxibustion, let's moxibustion together. In addition, Xu Liting said that sweating after moxibustion is a better health care method for modern people. People living in air-conditioned rooms, sweating without sweating, directly lead to cold resistance in the body, damage to yang, and illness.
Modern people eat more chemicals, such as artificial additives, antibiotics and drug residues. This will hurt their yang virtually, and sweating can promote the elimination of toxins. Sweating after moxibustion is a normal reaction. If you feel good, this kind of sweating has many benefits to the human body, but if you show weakness the next day, it means that the amount and time of moxibustion are too long.
Some people in moxibustion are sweating all over, and some people are sweating on their backs. Some people have moxibustion for a long time, and the moxibustion site is prone to sweating, while those with severe yang deficiency rarely sweat a few days before moxibustion, and the healthy qi is sufficient, and the sweating function returns to normal, and the exogenous pathogens are slowly discharged through sweat. This is a manifestation of the rising yang, because everyone's toxin discharge path is different, and generally toxins will be discharged from the weakest place.
