Effect of autumn moxibustion on Guanyuan
As for moxibustion, there was a saying in ancient China that "autumn moxibustion is Guanyuan, and spring moxibustion is Qihai", which means that spring moxibustion begins at Qihai point and autumn moxibustion begins at Guanyuan point every year. Neijing records: "Autumn and March are calm, the weather is urgent and the atmosphere is bright ... so the mind is calm ... and the desire is sufficient." Beginning of autumn is the time when summer and autumn alternate. The summer heat cools down, the atmosphere of heaven and earth is clear, everything withers, and ten thousand grains return to the warehouse.
Regarding Guanyuan point, the ancients recorded: "Those who close Guanyuan, close the door of its essence, and if it is closed, it will exist." On this occasion, moxibustion should be carried out according to the time sequence of collection, so that Yuanyang can be consolidated internally, and the golden water can be mixed with each other, which is beneficial to the real fire, nourishing the kidney and preparing for winter storage. Just like setting a tripod in a furnace, Yuanyang is vigorous, nourishing internal organs and keeping out the cold. "
It can be seen that moxibustion at Guanyuan in early autumn is an excellent opportunity to adapt to seasonal changes and reconcile the qi of Yin and Yang in the body. Around beginning of autumn 10 is a good time to moxibustion Guanyuan, but it doesn't mean that only these 20 days can moxibustion Guanyuan. In fact, you can insist on moxibustion Guanyuan to regulate your body throughout August.
