Is moxibustion beauty effective?
Effective. The beauty of moxibustion is different from the general beauty of cosmetic surgery and surgery, one is essential and the other is superficial. Cosmetics can cover up your shortcomings, surgery can transform your structure and satisfy your temporary vanity, but these can't give you real health.
Health keeps you young, radiant, quick-thinking and responsive, which is another kind of beauty at different levels. By taking medicine, taking injections or exercising, you can achieve the desired effect more or less. But not as good as moxibustion. Moxibustion is the most effective means to eliminate fatigue, restore vitality, supplement physical strength and balance yin and yang. The beauty effect of moxibustion is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1, facial skin: can accelerate the blood circulation of the skin, make the aging cells metabolize, strengthen the regeneration of new cells, fade spots, reduce wrinkles, make the skin rosy and delay aging.
2. Eye: Improve eye bags, dark circles, drooping eyelids and wrinkles, delay eye relaxation and aging, and restore eye luster.
3. Physiologically, it can dredge channels and collaterals, harmonize viscera, balance yin and yang, regulate physiological functions, enhance human immunity and keep fit.
There are several kinds of female moxibustion with good cosmetic effects:
1, women with acne on their faces often take it seriously, and "clearing heat and detoxifying" often has no effect, because their heat is often deficiency heat, not real heat, which is not enough to supplement the yang and make it worse. So moxibustion is the best choice.
2. Women with chloasma on their faces are often deficient in liver and kidney, and their constitutions are severely acidic. With moxibustion treatment, there are often unexpected effects.
3, puffy women, not overnutrition, but overnutrition is only a concept of western medicine, Chinese medicine does not have this thing. Even obese children are often not overnourished, but lack of yang, often because parents have a lot of sexual life during pregnancy, which leads to congenital deficiency, liver and kidney dysfunction and weakness of spleen transport. Women with puffiness often suffer from excessive uterine bleeding. Too fat is often due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and too thin is often due to liver and kidney deficiency.
4. Women whose nipples become dim prematurely, or whose nipples are sunken, often have severe liver and kidney deficiency, pulse flushing, cold pulse, and some even cough.
If these problems are treated with moxibustion, the effect is still good.
