Moxibustion is to put the moxa stick on the palm of your hand or a flat plate and knead it into a cone-shaped moxa stick with the top pointed and the bottom big, the big one is like lotus seeds, the middle one is like soybeans, and the small one is like wheat grains. Then put it on the acupoint and light it. Every burning 1 moxa cone is called 1 Zhuang.

When applying moxibustion, first apply a little vaseline on the acupoint, then put the moxa stick on it and light the moxibustion.

The oxidation rate of oxygen utilization increases by 2.5 times for every degree of battery temperature increase. Moxibustion can improve the ability and speed of cells to absorb nutrients.

2. Moxibustion can be used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines except wormwood: after a variety of valuable Chinese herbal medicines are added to moxibustion materials, their medicinal components can quickly reach the focus, and under the action of heat and moxibustion force, they can instantly dredge meridians and activate cells.

3. Moxibustion can instantly stimulate meridian points and open meridians.

4. When moxibustion is applied to human acupoints, human meridians and acupoints have self-regulating function. For example, diarrhea and constipation, two completely opposite pathological states, can be solved by moxibustion at Shu Tian point.

5. After moxibustion, there will be heat-sensitive conduction at meridian points. Penetration of heat, expansion of heat, heat transfer, remote heat which is not hot locally, deep heat which is not hot on the surface, etc. Or other non-hot feelings: acid, swelling, pressure, weight, pain, numbness, cold and so on.
