Can moxibustion cure enteritis?

We all know that Chinese medicine moxibustion is becoming more and more popular in medical care. It mainly regulates the patient's body through the pharmacological effects of Artemisia annua. After each moxibustion, the human body will feel particularly comfortable and relaxed. It can also treat many diseases, such as abdominal pain, indigestion, allergies and other symptoms, and can also expel moisture from the body. So can moxibustion cure enteritis?

The suspended moxibustion health care technology is only used for health care, not for the treatment of diseases. Therefore, in the conditioning project, the hanging moxibustion prescription is divided into two categories. One is the basic prescription, which is mainly used to strengthen the physical fitness and improve the disease resistance. It is based on the principle of being simple and easy, with few and precise acupoints and easy to master, and scientific diagnosis is required to achieve the effect of hanging moxibustion. The second is the conditioning prescription, which is designed to target different symptoms and adopts the method of syndrome differentiation and acupuncture point selection.
