1, the health care function of children's moxibustion
First, clearing away heat and purging fire, reducing swelling and dispersing stagnation.
Medical records in Sun Simiao recorded that moxibustion was used to clear heat for children. We know that children are prone to fever, and fever is our body's instinct. We use fever to drive away the cold that our body suffers. (When operating, operate under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine practitioners, consult chenssjun WeChat interactive platform, or receive professional training guidance. )
Chinese medicine believes that fever is a manifestation of confrontation between good and evil after the body feels exogenous evil. The circulation of qi in human body is interest-free. When exogenous pathogens enter the human body, it will hinder the normal operation of qi, stagnate and turn into heat. At the same time, moxibustion helps to expel exogenous pathogens from the body.
Second, dispel wind and relieve exterior syndrome, and dispel dampness and cold.
Autumn and winter are the high incidence of colds and colds, and children are prone to runny noses and sneezing. At this time, they insisted on moxibustion conditioning, and soon they found that their noses were blocked, their sneezing stopped and their hands were warm.
In summer, many children like to eat cold drinks at this time, which hurts the spleen, leading to spleen failure and eczema. At this time, moxibustion has a good effect of eliminating dampness and takes effect quickly.
Third, prevent diseases and health care, and enhance physical fitness.
We mainly use moxibustion to prevent diseases, protect health and enhance physical fitness. Moxibustion is a health care method that people have been advocating since ancient times.
