Moxibustion Slimming Therapy

Moxibustion therapy can help lose weight, prevent diseases and cure illnesses, and it has a history of thousands of years in my country. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people had begun to widely use moxibustion. For example, there is a record in Zhuangzi that the Yue people fumigated themselves with moxa, and there is also a record in Mencius that a seven-year illness required three years of treatment with moxa. It is ubiquitous in medical works of all dynasties. Moxibustion can stimulate and improve the body's immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance.

The principle of moxibustion for weight loss

1. Moxibustion first generates heat. When the skin is heated, the pores expand, allowing the medicine to quickly penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue and reach the lesion directly. For every degree the cell's temperature rises, its rate of oxidation using oxygen increases 2.5 times. Moxibustion can improve the ability and speed of cells to absorb nutrients.

2. Moxibustion can be combined with other Chinese medicines besides mugwort. After adding many precious Chinese herbs to the moxibustion materials, their medicinal ingredients can quickly reach the lesions. Under the action of heat and moxibustion force, they can instantly play a role in dredging meridians and activating cells.

3. Moxibustion can instantly stimulate the meridian acupoints and open up the meridians.

4. When moxibustion is applied to acupoints on the human body, the meridian acupoints on the human body have a self-bidirectional regulating effect.

5. After moxibustion, the meridian acupoints will experience heat sensitivity. Heat penetration, heat expansion, heat transfer, local heat when not hot but distant heat, surface heat when not hot but deep heat, etc., or other non-thermal sensations, sensations such as sourness, swelling, pressure, heaviness, pain, numbness, coldness, etc. may be produced at the moxibustion site or away from the moxibustion site.
