Just do this four times in your life and you can prevent thousands of diseases

Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached great importance to disease prevention. The concept of "treating illness before it occurs" first appeared in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic": "Therefore, a sage does not treat an illness that has already occurred, but treats an illness before it occurs... To treat an illness after it has developed is like digging a well when you are thirsty, or casting an awl when you are fighting. Isn't it too late?" This vividly points out the importance of "treating illness before it occurs".

The theory of moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine has also been developing for thousands of years. Since people have different physiological characteristics at different stages, moxibustion should have different emphases for people of different age groups.

Infancy

In 1937, the Japanese government strongly advocated moxibustion on the body pillars during infancy to promote the growth and development of infants and prevent and treat colds, coughs, etc. If a mother wants her baby to be healthy throughout her life, she should insist on giving her baby moxibustion on the Shenzhu acupoint. (Moxibustion for those over 3 years old)

The use of moxibustion in pediatric health care has a long history. There is a record in ancient times that "children can be kept healthy by moxibustion on Shenzhu and Tianshu every day."

The pediatric moxibustion health care method is simple and easy, has no side effects, is green and safe, can prevent and cure diseases, and can improve children's immune function.

Shenzhu point is the main acupoint for pediatric health care moxibustion. It belongs to the Du meridian and connects to the brain marrow. It has the effects of regulating lung qi, replenishing deficiency, relieving carbuncle and calming the mind. It has the effects of replenishing lung qi, relieving cough and asthma, warming and transforming phlegm and dampness, invigorating the brain and improving intelligence, preventing diseases and strengthening the body, and can cure many pediatric diseases.

Moxibustion on the Shenzhu point has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on infant indigestion, spitting up milk, diarrhea in children, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, mental fatigue, restlessness at night, night crying, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, pneumonia, tuberculosis, asthma, convulsions, and developmental problems.

The Shenzhu point is praised by the Japanese medical community as the "moxibustion point for all pediatric diseases." Shenzhu point is also an important point for moxibustion during the Sanfu period in children.

Generally, each moxibustion lasts for 10 to 15 minutes. In the beginning, you can do it once every other day, and then do it 2-3 times a week. You can also use the Yishengliangxing moxibustion instrument to do moxibustion once a day, which can make children less susceptible to illness and keep them healthy.

Adolescence

At around 17 years old, moxibustion is applied to Fengmen acupoint to prevent respiratory diseases and improve physical fitness.

Around 24 years old, moxibustion Sanyinjiao can be used to avoid reproductive system diseases and enhance reproductive ability.

Moxibustion on "Fei Shu" before the age of 30.

Young people spend more time outdoors and often do not pay attention to keeping warm after sweating. They also like to eat cold drinks, so they are prone to catching colds. Strengthening and protecting lung qi has important health significance for young people. The Feishu point is where the lung qi comes out of the back. It is also the point that controls the body's defensive qi on the surface, protecting the body's positive qi from invasion by evil qi.

There are several specific moxibustion methods: moxibustion at any time, that is, when you feel unwell or are about to catch a cold, or after eating cold drinks; seasonal moxibustion, that is, moxibustion twice a month, 1 to 2 days before the change of solar terms.

30-50 years old

For people aged 30 to 50, moxibustion on "Zusanli" can strengthen the spleen and stomach functions and prevent all diseases.

As we enter middle age, our life becomes stable, we have numerous social engagements, excessive thinking, and lack of exercise, which are the most damaging to our spleen and stomach. Due to damage to the spleen and stomach, the essence of water and grain cannot be fully transported and transformed, and water and moisture gather in the middle burner, resulting in a potbelly. Moxibustion on "Zusanli" can adjust the digestive system to make it function more vigorously, absorb nutrients and increase energy, and has a strengthening effect on various systems in the body.

Zusanli is in charge of the acquired foundation of the human body and is a very important health-care acupoint! If you have time, it is best to do moxibustion for 20 minutes every day. You can also use the Yisheng Liangxing moxibustion instrument for moxibustion once a day.

After 50

Moxibustion on "Guan Yuan" and "Qu Chi" after the age of 50

As we enter old age, our kidney qi gradually becomes weak and our vital energy gradually depletes, and we will experience symptoms such as low back and knee pain, frequent urination at night, forgetfulness and insomnia, fatigue intolerance, decreased vision, hearing loss, hair loss and graying hair. "Understanding of Medical Classics" records: "Guan Yuan is 3 inches below the navel. It is the place where men store sperm and women store blood. It is the key to life and where the true essence is stored." This acupoint has the function of nourishing the essence and strengthening the foundation, and replenishing the lower part of the body. It can be used whenever there is a loss of vital energy.

Guanyuan point is located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 3 inches below the navel. The best frequency for moxibustion is once a day, but it can be done at any time.

When you are old, you should often apply moxibustion to Quchi to improve your eyesight and hearing and prevent high blood pressure and stroke.

These acupoints were summarized by our ancients through long-term practice, and we can master them flexibly in daily moxibustion!
