Moxibustion therapy can reduce weight, prevent diseases and cure diseases, and it has a history of thousands of years in China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to widely use moxibustion. For example, there is a record in Zhuangzi that the Yue people smoked it with moxa, and there is also a record in Mencius that it takes three years to get sick for seven years. It is more common in medical works of past dynasties. Moxibustion can stimulate and improve the body's immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance. Overweight caused by excessive fat accumulation in the human body is called obesity, which is formed because the body consumes more calories than it consumes, resulting in excessive fat accumulation in the body. People's fatness depends on the number of fat cells in the body and the content of lipids in fat cells. Most people who start to be obese in adulthood are cell hypertrophy, and there is no obvious increase.

Moxibustion stimulates acupoints, adjusts the functional balance of meridians, qi, blood and viscera, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduces fat absorption, increases its excretion, and achieves slimming effect.

Principle of moxibustion to lose weight

1. Moxibustion first generates heat: after the skin is heated, the pores expand, so that the medicine quickly penetrates under the skin and reaches the focus. The oxidation rate of oxygen utilization increases by 2.5 times for every degree of battery temperature increase. Moxibustion can improve the ability and speed of cells to absorb nutrients.

2. Moxibustion can be used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines except wormwood: after a variety of valuable Chinese herbal medicines are added to moxibustion materials, their medicinal components can quickly reach the focus, and under the action of heat and moxibustion force, they can instantly dredge meridians and activate cells.

3. Moxibustion can instantly stimulate meridian points and open meridians.

4. When moxibustion is applied to human acupoints, human meridians and acupoints have self-regulating function. For example, diarrhea and constipation, two completely opposite pathological states, can be solved by moxibustion at Shu Tian point.

5. After moxibustion, there will be heat-sensitive conduction at meridian points. Penetration of heat, expansion of heat, heat transfer, remote heat which is not hot locally, deep heat which is not hot on the surface, etc. Or other non-hot feelings: acid, swelling, pressure, weight, pain, numbness, cold and so on. When moxibustion is applied or far away from the moxibustion site.
