Can moxibustion treat myopia?

As for myopia, with the popularity of electronic products, as well as the heavy workload of study, work and life, more and more people have to wear glasses on their noses. Therefore, many people want to treat myopia nowadays. However, many methods of treating myopia have more or less side effects, and no one can make up their minds about the important and fragile eyes. Moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on myopia by stimulating acupoints. Let's learn about it together.

The characteristic of myopia is that it can only see close objects but not far objects. Without the need for adjustment, parallel light rays from a distance enter the eye through the pupil and focus in front of the retina, but a clear image cannot be formed on the retina. This refractive error is myopia. In order to see objects in front of them clearly, myopic people need to move the objects closer or wear glasses.

[Treatment principle] Mainly focus on nourishing the liver and kidneys, nourishing blood and improving eyesight.

[Acupoint Selection] Moxibustion treatment of myopia mainly uses acupoints around the eyes.

[Moxibustion method] Thunder fire moxibustion, walnut shell moxibustion, etc. These methods are relatively old-fashioned. Now there is a more advanced method, which is moxibustion with an eye warming device.

[Method] The patient can sit or lie down, place a special moxa stick in the eye warmer and light it, and moxibustion the acupoints around the eyes back and forth. He will feel a slight heat or flushing of the surrounding skin, and then moxibustion the Jingming, Yuyao, Tongziliao, Sibai points, and each point for 5-10 minutes. Then you can use a single-eye moxibustion box to moxibustion the Fengchi and Dazhui points. Moxibustion once a day, 10 days as a course of treatment. Rest for 3 days after one course of treatment and then continue with the next course of treatment.

After two courses of treatment with this method, vision can be significantly improved, and it also has a cosmetic effect. Beauty salons use eye moxibustion devices to remove eye wrinkles for people who need beauty treatments.

[Note] During moxibustion, do not overuse your eyes to avoid poor therapeutic effects.
