What are the benefits of moxibustion Guanyuan

When doing moxibustion, the acupuncture points on the patient's body surface are stimulated by burning moxa leaves, thereby achieving the effect of treating diseases or maintaining health. There are many acupoints to choose for moxibustion, Guanyuan is one of them. In fact, no matter which acupoints are performed on, moxibustion has some common benefits. For example, it can regulate the yin and yang of the human body and keep our body in a balanced state, thereby achieving the purpose of health care. It can also dispel evil cold or warm the meridians.

Guanyuan point is also the Mu point of the small intestine. The so-called Mu point means that the Qi of the internal organs gathers in the abdomen and chest. The small intestine is the main organ for the human body to absorb nutrients, and moxibustion on Guanyuan can effectively promote intestinal function and enhance its ability to absorb nutrients. Medical scientists both in ancient and modern times believe that Guanyuan acupoint is an important acupoint that can bring people back to life, and they all believe that moxibustion is an important means of stimulating this acupoint. When applying moxibustion to this point, one must be very careful with the temperature. That is, it should be warm but not hot. The moxibustion should be done for a long time and continuously until the heat penetrates inside the body and one feels warm and cozy inside the abdomen, as if melting. Moxibustion should be continued until a red flush appears. When moxibustion on Guanyuan acupoint is effective, the coldness in the abdomen will dissipate immediately.

Each moxibustion session usually lasts about 40 minutes, or longer, depending on individual comfort. Moxibustion can be performed every other day or twice a week. The moxa sticks used for moxibustion must be good quality. I also remember a story in "Bian Que's Heart Book": "Wang Chao, a foot soldier in Liu Wu's army, was originally from Taiyuan. Later, he entered the rivers and lakes and became a bandit. He met a strange man who taught him the method of living in the world. When he was ninety years old, he was full of energy and could have sex with ten women a day without getting tired. Later, he was captured. Before his execution, the supervisor asked him: Do you have any strange skills? He said: No, only the power of fire. Every summer and autumn, he would burn Guanyuan for a thousand times. He was not afraid of cold or heat for a long time, and he didn't feel hungry for many days. To this day, there is a piece of warmth under my navel that feels like fire."

In fact, when doing moxibustion, no matter which acupoint is moxibustioned, it can eventually play the role of promoting qi and blood circulation as well as removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules. The stimulation of moxibustion on the body's acupoints is benign, and through this acupoint stimulation, the effects of tonifying the middle and replenishing Qi as well as warming yang and replenishing deficiency can be achieved. With the continuous development of modern society, people pay more and more attention to health care, and moxibustion becomes more and more popular.
