I believe most people are: playing mobile phones? Listen to music? Reading?

It is estimated that people who "play mobile phones" are the most.

But I don't think it's a good habit to play mobile phone before going to bed.

Do you know that?/You know what? The time before going to bed is actually a "golden time for health". Do something beneficial to health-moxibustion before going to bed.

The ancients said that "it is better to die than to die", but now many people often do the opposite. Living in an environment where air conditioners, refrigerators and cold drinks are everywhere since childhood, many women wear navel-revealing clothes and backless clothes for beauty. Use a lot of cold medicine and hormones. Overeating cold food will seriously consume the yang in the body, leading to low immunity, dysfunction of the body system, cold and injury, which will cause all kinds of pain, make the body sub-healthy, and finally make it terminally ill.

Let's learn about moxibustion first.

As one of the oldest therapies in Chinese medicine, moxibustion has a long history.

Moxibustion, referred to as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion for short, is a therapeutic method that uses moxa sticks made of folium Artemisiae Argyi to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of human body, and regulates the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating meridian qi-flowing, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing diseases and treating diseases.

The mechanism of moxibustion is similar to that of acupuncture, and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture. It has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and remarkable effect.

Moxibustion with moxa sticks can warm channels and dispel cold, and promote qi and blood circulation.

Now people begin to pay attention to health, and many people are no strangers to moxibustion.

There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine: "Acupuncture does not do what it does, but moxibustion is appropriate." Moxibustion can cure diseases that acupuncture cannot cure. Bian Que's mental method written by Song people especially praised: "The way to save your life is to burn love first."

Because mugwort leaves are pungent and warm, moxibustion needs to be ignited with fire to make the skin burn and smoke, which belongs to hyperthermia. Therefore, moxibustion has the effects of dispelling cold and dampness, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, and promoting qi and blood circulation, which is also very helpful to prevent the consumption of yang in human body.

Compendium of Materia Medica says: "Folium Artemisiae Argyi can moxibustion all diseases".

Generally speaking, as long as TCM syndrome differentiation, the causes are mostly caused by cold and dampness invasion, stagnation of qi and blood, and collapse of yang, so moxibustion treatment is generally needed.

Because different parts of moxibustion have different health care functions. In fact, the navel is a very important part of health.

Put it on navel before going to bed to tonify kidney and warm stomach to treat dysmenorrhea.

The navel is not only the part left by our contact with our mother. In Chinese medicine, it also has a name-Shenque point.

Shenque point can be called the "longevity big point" of human body, which has the effects of warming yang and tonifying kidney, collecting turbid qi, preventing and treating diseases, and is often used for abdominal pain, diarrhea due to deficiency and cold, constipation, excessive leucorrhea and itching all over the body.

Not only has the above functions, but also moxibustion at Shenque point has two good health preserving functions.

1. Relieve dysmenorrhea

I believe many women have experienced dysmenorrhea, many of which are primary dysmenorrhea.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that primary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by cold and dampness stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, irregular menstruation and "no pain".

Folium Artemisiae Argyi has the effects of warming channels to stop bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain. Therefore, since ancient times, moxibustion has often been used by major doctors to treat diseases such as deficiency cold, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia and infertility due to palace cold.

Shenque point is an important point for treating gynecological diseases. Moxibustion at this point has a unique effect on improving blood circulation, warming meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and stopping arthralgia and pain.

2. Strengthening spleen, warming stomach and tonifying kidney

When using moxibustion, moxa stick moxibustion at the position directly above navel 1 cm can effectively prevent and treat gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by physical weakness.

You can also try the method of salt-separated moxibustion, which can strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney.

The method is to apply pure and dry raw salt to the navel (Shenque point), flush with the navel, and put moxa sticks on it, which is the salt-separated moxibustion.

The principle is that moxibustion at Shenque point often leads to blood circulation, recovery of spleen and stomach function, unobstructed stool and disappearance of tummy caused by gastrointestinal disorder.

So what do you usually do before going to bed?

How to moxibustion before going to bed? How long is moxibustion best?

1. Specific methods

You can lie on your back or sit down, first light the moxa stick and gently moxibustion Shenque point.

It is suggested that rotating moxibustion should be carried out at a distance of 5~ 10 cm from the skin of acupoints, especially when the skin is flushed or reddish and the heat penetrates into the muscles and diffuses or conducts. Don't get too close to the skin to avoid scalding the skin.

2. Moxibustion time

I suggest that moxibustion lasts for 20-30 minutes at a time, not too long.

Some people think that if the time is too long, their hands will be very sour. You can try moxibustion with a warm moxibustion device.

Warm moxibustion apparatus is a small box with a lid and holes in it. Cut the moxa stick into a box, light it, cover it, wrap it in cloth, and put it on the acupoint for moxibustion, so that the hand will not be sour.

The advantages of warm moxibustion apparatus are convenience, no need of disinfection, no skin burn and no pain. And you can lie down and put it on your navel for moxibustion. You can try.

These four types of people are not suitable for self-moxibustion

Although moxibustion is good, it is not suitable for everyone-
