Chinese medicine believes that the changeable weather during the Qingming Festival is easy to make people catch a cold, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and so on. At this time, moxibustion is the best time to replenish yang, regulate spleen and stomach, and resist the invasion of evil spirits.
This is because Folium Artemisiae Argyi is warm in nature and belongs to pure yang, which can warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and supplement human yang. Therefore, Qingming moxibustion can dispel cold and dampness, dredge channels and activate collaterals, promote qi and blood circulation, and achieve the effect of disease prevention and health care. In spring, the yang and heat of the two are combined, and the warming effect is stronger.

The commonly used moxibustion points here are Dazhui, Zhiyang, Mingmen, Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Hegu, Guanyuan, Shenque and Zhongwan.
