What is the efficacy and function of moxibustion?
Now people pay more and more attention to health care, a treasure left by our ancients-moxibustion. It is also valued by more and more people. Moxibustion has six main functions: dredging channels and activating collaterals, promoting qi and blood circulation, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold, regulating yin and yang, restoring yang and rescuing adverse events, preventing diseases and protecting health. The benefits of moxibustion are also increasingly reflected in modern health care applications. First, dredging meridians is the channel of qi and blood circulation, and smooth meridians are conducive to qi and blood circulation and nutrient delivery. When pathogenic factors such as cold and dampness invade the human body, they often block the meridians and lead to diseases. Moxibustion, with the help of its function of warming skin, warms skin and meridians, and promotes blood circulation and collaterals, thus treating various diseases and syndromes caused by cold, blood stasis and meridian obstruction. Second, luck and promoting blood circulation are the source of human life. Blood is the basic substance of human beings. Sufficient qi and blood can make human life activities normal. Moxibustion can replenish qi and nourish blood, dredge qi, promote middle qi, and harmonize qi and blood, thus achieving the purpose of moxibustion health care. Third, dispel dampness and disperse cold blood, cold will coagulate, and warm will disperse. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood heat can be cured and cold can coagulate, so all coagulation diseases can be treated with warm moxibustion. Moxibustion therapy plays the role of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and removing arthralgia through the warm stimulation of meridians and acupoints, thus strengthening the circulation of qi and blood and achieving the purpose of treatment and health care. Folium Artemisiae Argyi is a pure yang plant, and the heat of fire penetrates the yang to drive away evil spirits. Moxibustion therapy is particularly effective for damp-cold syndrome. Fourth, adjust the yin and yang ancients' abnormal attention to the harmony of yin and yang in the human body. When the yin and yang of the human body are balanced, the body will be healthy, and various diseases will occur when the yin and yang are unbalanced. Moxibustion can regulate the function of yin and yang, and restore the imbalance of yin and yang.

Verb (verb's abbreviation) Return to Yang to save the inverse. We all know that "medicine is not as good as needle, so moxibustion is necessary". The effect of moxibustion on restoring yang and rescuing adverse events is recorded in ancient books. Deficiency of both qi and yin requires urgent moxibustion at Shenque and Guanyuan, so as to restore yang and save the inverse. Yang is weak and unstable, which is heavy and heavy. The nature of Artemisia argyi belongs to pure yang, and fire belongs to yang. The combination of the two Yang Can is conducive to the warmth of the yang, while the rise of Yang Can relieves depression, supports and fixes the yang.

Six, disease prevention and health care Modern science has confirmed that moxibustion can enhance the phagocytosis of white blood cells, accelerate the production of various specific and non-specific antibodies, improve its immune effect, and enhance human immune function. At the same time, moxibustion can also improve the functions of various systems of human body, improve the disease resistance of human body, and is conducive to the rehabilitation of many diseases. It has a good regulating effect on modern sub-health. Modern moxibustion is mostly used for warm moxibustion, and its function is mainly reflected in health care. Many beauty salons have also added warm moxibustion programs.
