What is the difference between navel moxibustion and gourd moxibustion?
The effect is different. Umbilical moxibustion is to light a moxa stick and put it on the navel, and stimulate the navel through heat, so as to achieve the purpose of conditioning the body. Moxibustion on navel can improve blood circulation, promote metabolism and regulate visceral function. The gourd moxibustion is to put the moxa stick into the gourd after it is ignited. Through the special structure of the gourd, the hot smoke is directly transmitted to the skin, which has the functions of warming meridians, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, eliminating dampness and expelling toxins.
