Moxibustion on Mingmen acupoint

Everyone knows that moxibustion can promote the excretion of toxins from the body's acupuncture points and remove dampness, etc. However, moxibustion requires everyone to choose the correct acupuncture points to achieve the corresponding therapeutic value. Moxibustion on the Mingmen acupoint can improve bladder function, enhance male reproductive function, and relieve symptoms such as premature ejaculation and uterine cold. You can learn about the method of moxibustion on the Mingmen acupoint.

1. Location of Mingmen acupoint

First of all, through the introduction in the previous article, we learned the location of the Mingmen point: the Mingmen point is on the waist, on the posterior midline, below the fourteenth vertebra, that is, below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, and in front of the Shenque point.

Because this point is between the two kidneys, it is also level with the kidney points of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang on both sides. Therefore, it is called the gate of life and is the source of power for human life activities.

2. Effects of Mingmen acupoint

The function of Mingmen acupoint reflects the role of kidney yang, which has an important influence on the reproductive essence stored in men and the reproductive function of the uterus of women. It warms, stimulates and promotes the physiological activities of various internal organs, and promotes the digestion, absorption and transportation of food, as well as water metabolism.

Therefore, it is believed to be the cave where true fire is hidden. The main manifestations of Mingmen fire decline include: cold limbs, weakness and low back pain, or early morning ejaculation, impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea in men, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, uterine cold and infertility in women, and other symptoms of deficiency and cold.

3. Moxibustion on Mingmen acupoint

According to clinical practice, the combination of Mingmen and Shenque acupoints is the best for strengthening yang. Moxibustion is used, with Mingmen being moxibustioned with large moxa sticks and Shenque being moxibustioned with salt. It does not matter how strong the moxibustion is, as long as you feel a sensation of heat penetrating directly from the acupoints into the body.

Moxibustion on Mingmen can nourish kidney qi, invigorate the kidney meridian, and make the yang qi flourish; Shenque belongs to the Ren meridian, which is the root of life. Moxibustion on it can support yang and consolidate deficiency. The combination of the two acupoints has the effect of warming the kidney and strengthening yang, restoring yang and consolidating deficiency.

4 About Mingmen Point

Some people would say that moxibustion on the Mingmen and Shimen acupoints can cause sterilization. In fact, 100% of the people who reported being pregnant had tried moxibustion on the Shimen and Mingmen acupoints, but they also got pregnant, so some of the claims are self-defeating.

Because the Shimen acupoint and the Guanyuan acupoint are very close, only one inch apart, which is the distance of a horizontal finger, moxibustion on Guanyuan will inevitably involve the Shimen acupoint, and moxibustion on the Baliao acupoint will inevitably involve the Mingmen acupoint, because moxibustion expands heat, penetrates heat, transfers heat, and penetrates heat. Even if you are moxibustioning Guanyuan and find the acupoint very accurately, the Shimen acupoint will be involved. The area of ​​heat expansion by moxibustion is very large, and its radiation is transmitted along the meridians.

5 Moxibustion treatment of diseases

Some people suffer from weakness and low back pain, or have frequent urination, spermatorrhea, and impotence, which can also be solved by moxibustion on the Mingmen acupoint. If you feel tired and weak, have kidney disease, or are a male with nocturnal emission, you can also relieve the symptoms through moxibustion on the Mingmen acupoint.

When performing moxibustion, you must choose old moxa. New moxa leaves cannot be used for moxibustion. "The Heart Book of Bian Que" said: "If a person regularly applies moxibustion when he is healthy, although he cannot achieve immortality, he can at least live for over a hundred years." Because moxibustion can replenish qi and warm yang, and the yang qi in the human body has the function of "protecting the body from the outside and strengthening it," if the yang qi can be kept strong and the positive energy is sufficient, it will not be easy for pathogens to invade and the body will be healthy.

So we all know that moxibustion is a very healthy physical therapy method in health preservation, and it has a good therapeutic effect on many diseases of the human body. Through the above introduction to the effects and functions of moxibustion on the Mingmen acupoint, everyone should have a certain understanding.
