Why do you want moxibustion for health in dog days?

Summer treatment of winter diseases refers to the targeted treatment of some diseases that are prone to occur or aggravate in winter, so as to improve the body's disease resistance, thereby reducing or eliminating diseases that are prone to occur or aggravate in winter. It is the concrete application of the holistic view of "harmony between man and nature" and the disease prevention view of "prevention before illness" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Commonly used treatment methods include moxibustion, acupoint application, acupuncture, oral medicine and so on. In summer, when the yang is the most abundant in nature, drug or non-drug treatment can warm the yang and tonify the kidney, dispel cold and dredge collaterals, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases prone to occur in winter.

"Treating winter diseases in summer" is to make use of the hot climate in dog days. Moxibustion has the functions of warming and nourishing, resolving phlegm, promoting qi circulation, dredging collaterals and dispelling cold, thus achieving the functions of warming yang and benefiting qi, eliminating potential cold pathogens, making lung qi rise and fall normally, warming spleen and kidney, enhancing the body's disease resistance and preventing these diseases.

Benefits of moxibustion

1, the regulation of meridians and the local stimulation of warm drugs have similar effects to moxibustion, such as warming meridians and dredging collaterals, promoting qi and blood circulation, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold. Moreover, through the regulation of meridians, it achieves the functions of tonifying deficiency and purging excess, promoting the balance of yin and yang, preventing diseases and protecting health.

2, local stimulation, local drug stimulation through nerve reflex, stimulate the body's regulatory role, so that some antibodies in the body form, thereby improving the body's immune function, prevention and treatment of some allergic diseases.

3, the role of the drug itself, the drug reaches the subcutaneous tissue through the skin, which produces the relative advantage of drug concentration locally and plays a powerful pharmacological role. At the same time, through the stimulation of local acupoints by drugs, the qi of meridians in the whole body is stimulated, and the absorption and transportation of tiny blood vessels play the greatest pharmacological role.

4. Use the hottest "dog days" in a year, when the human body is full of yang, to stimulate human acupuncture points, and play a benign role in strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil through the role of drugs.

What should I pay attention to in moxibustion?

Before moxibustion

1, because you can't blow during moxibustion, please close the doors and windows before moxibustion, and there is no ventilation in the room. Summer, too. No ventilation or air conditioning.

2, you can't moxibustion immediately after a meal, you can only moxibustion after a meal 1 hour, because you can't moxibustion when you are full.

moxibustion

1, you can't be too full or hungry when moxibustion, and you can't moxibustion when you are in a good mood. You should keep your mind calm and relaxed.

2, be sure to drink warm water when moxibustion, in order to facilitate detoxification, the water temperature can be slightly higher. You can't drink cold boiled water, not even in summer.

3. In moxibustion, if there is moisture on the surface of acupoints, the cold in the body will be discharged through acupoints, and the cold in the body will be heavier, and moxibustion will play a role.

After moxibustion

1. Don't wash your hands and face with cold water within half an hour after moxibustion. After moxibustion, the pores of the whole body are open and it is easy to catch cold.

2. Don't take a bath immediately after moxibustion. For the same reason. In general, I always take a bath before moxibustion. Or after moxibustion, take a bath a few hours later.

3. After moxibustion, it is normal if there is fatigue and listlessness. At this time, the body is resting, but you can have a rest without being too tired.
