Today, let's talk about the following things about moxa sticks.

After all, I have been doing moxibustion training for a long time, and many consulting clients often ask me to buy 5.0 or 7.0 thick moxa sticks.

My general advice to them is not to use coarse moxa sticks, but not to use coarse moxa sticks if you can use fine moxa sticks. If you are sick, you don't have to use thick moxa sticks. If you just want to keep healthy, you should also use thin moxa sticks.

First, thick moxa sticks are easy to consume gas.

First of all, I said the first reason, that is, thick moxa sticks are easy to consume gas.

There is a saying in Chinese medicine: fire eats gas.

What do you mean? That is, a lot of energy is more likely to consume people's vitality and make people more collapsed.

Let me give you an example: once I went to dinner with a friend, because the food was particularly appetizing and delicious, and I ate a lot at once. What did you feel? Do you feel tired? I feel listless and just want to have a good rest.

In fact, this is caused by gas.

We eat to replenish energy, how can we consume gas? Many people may not understand it, but this is actually the greatness of Chinese medicine.

All the food we eat can't be directly absorbed by the human body, but it needs a transformation process to transform the "eating gas" of the food itself into the "vitality" needed by the human body. In the process of transformation, we actually need to consume our "qi". It may consume the qi of the spleen and stomach at first. If the qi of the spleen and stomach cannot be transformed, it will consume people's vitality, so eating too much will definitely consume more "qi" and gas.

Moxibustion is the same.

The increased energy of moxibustion also needs to be transformed before it can be needed by the human body and then used to supplement the body. If you use thick moxa sticks, moxibustion will cause qi deficiency and make people feel very tired.

So I don't recommend that you always use thick moxa sticks for moxibustion. Thick moxa sticks do feel full of firepower and feelings, but they are easy to overdo.

Why do you say that?

Because thick moxa sticks have great firepower and moxibustion is hot, it is easy to feel hot. I believe you will often find that thick moxa sticks can easily burn your skin. In fact, this is also a manifestation that Ai Ge has not been moxibustion.

If the fire of moxibustion is big, it is easy for the body to feel hot, and our body will be very intelligent to resist and become nervous to prevent these heat from entering the body, so moxibustion is mostly on the body surface and the depth of moxibustion is not enough.

Moxibustion, I suggest you use softer fine moxa sticks for moxibustion. Soft heat, easy to accept by the body, good natural penetration.

Third, thick moxa sticks are easy to hurt yin.

Speaking of this question, in fact, I have written an article before to introduce the problem of moxibustion hurting yin.

The human body is balanced by yin and yang. Moxibustion is mainly fire moxibustion, which is easy to understand. However, there must be a degree to replenish yang. Excessive moxibustion will result in more yang and less yin, and internal heat of yang will hurt yin.

Let's not talk about 5.0 or 7.0 thick moxa sticks. Generally, the content of 4.0 moxa sticks is higher than that of 1.8 fine moxa sticks. Therefore, moxibustion with thick moxa sticks for a long time is particularly easy to hurt yin, leading to excessive internal heat and vigorous virtual fire, which affects health.

For example, I often tell my moxibustion friends.

When we usually cook chicken soup, do we use a big fire first and then a small fire? If you keep using fire, the soup may be dry and the meat is not cooked yet. So is moxibustion. If we always use fire to moxibustion, our yin and body fluid will be consumed, and various symptoms of yin deficiency will appear.

4. Coarse moxa sticks and fine moxa sticks should be used together.

Of course, having written so much in front does not mean that thick moxa sticks can't be used, but we just need to grasp a degree and use them properly.

Generally speaking, I suggest that you can use coarse moxa sticks with fine moxa sticks.

1. For people with severe cold and dampness, people with severe blood stasis, and people who have no feeling after fine moxa stick moxibustion, use coarse moxa sticks for a period of time in the early stage, and then change them into fine moxa sticks in the later stage.

2. For patients with backache, knee pain and abdominal cold, you can use thick moxa sticks to achieve a certain effect, switch to thin moxa sticks, or use thick moxa sticks with thin moxa sticks during moxibustion.

1. It is recommended that children do not use thick moxa sticks for moxibustion, especially those above 4.0. 1.8 or 1.0 is recommended.

2. It is not recommended for the elderly to use thick moxa sticks for moxibustion. Generally, the elderly will suffer from yin deficiency, especially yin and yang deficiency. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly should use softer fine moxa stick moxibustion, which is more in line with the physical characteristics of the elderly.

3. People who are seriously ill and particularly weak are not recommended to use thick moxa sticks for moxibustion. Just like a serious illness, it is a truth that big fish and big meat are not easy to make. It is the right way to use moxibustion to make the body more receptive to soft fire.

That's what I shared today. If you have any questions about moxibustion, you can leave a message for consultation. If you really want to buy genuine moxa sticks, you can learn about the next nine choices.
