Moxibustion is very popular now, but what is the principle of moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a means for Chinese medicine to regulate the body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people get sick because the meridians in the body are blocked and the yin and yang are unbalanced. This is the same as what western medicine says, that is, the meridians are blocked and the qi and blood are blocked. Moxibustion can use heat to achieve the effects of warming meridians, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation, thus having a conditioning effect on the body.

1. The principle of warm stimulation

Simply put, moxibustion health care is to achieve the effect of health care and conditioning through the stimulation of certain parts of the human body by moxa fire. During moxibustion, the temperature outside the skin can be as high as 130, and the tender skin inside the skin can also reach 50.

When both inside and outside the skin are subjected to high temperature stimulation, this stimulation will accelerate the local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation of the skin, thus eliminating smooth muscle spasm. Moreover, the stimulation of high temperature can also promote the increase of sweat secretion, which is conducive to the discharge of metabolites. Not only that, the warming effect of moxibustion can also promote the faster absorption of drugs.

2. Principle of meridian regulation

The theoretical basis of moxibustion is meridian theory. People belong to a whole, and their internal organs and limbs blend together. What can maintain the overall harmonious relationship is the body's self-control regulation system. Meridian plays a role in transmitting information in the body. After processing the information, the brain sends out instructions, which are then transmitted to limbs and internal organs through the meridian system. Meridian belongs to the multifunctional regulating system of human body.

Therefore, after moxibustion on human acupuncture points, the heat of moxa fire will stimulate acupuncture points, thus producing a synergistic and dual-effect effect. So as to achieve the whole body conditioning effect.
