What is the difference between moxibustion box and moxibustion jar?

Moxibustion boxes or moxibustion cups are instruments used for moxibustion treatment. These two instruments are used for moxibustion treatment, mainly to make up for some defects of traditional burning moxa sticks to treat diseases. For example, the amount of moxibustion is often not particularly easy to grasp, and the moxibustion is not particularly precise. If moxibustion is performed through a moxibustion box or a moxibustion cup, the acupoints can be accurately located, and the operation is also very simple.

Moxibustion cup: preparation. Prepare long towels or several pieces of pure cotton cloth, a lighter or a fire stove, scissors or a knife, moxa sticks, and moxibustion cups. Cut the moxa sticks into different lengths according to the moxibustion time or moxibustion parts. Lightly scratch the surface of the moxa stick with scissors and break it with your hands. One-tenth of a moxa stick can burn for 30-40 minutes, and one-fifth can burn for about an hour and a half. Light the prepared moxa segments with a lighter or a lighter stove. I like to use a lighter stove because I can turn on the range hood in the kitchen and the smoke can be directly drawn away. After lighting, insert them one by one into the long iron wire of the moxa cup. After the moxa segment is fully burned, fasten the moxa cup and put it into the moxibustion bag.

Moxibustion box: Moxibustion box is the preferred instrument for moxibustion, and due to its small size, it is simple and convenient to operate. Open the lid on the moxibustion box. Light the moxa stick and place it into the moxibustion hole. Use the clip inside the moxibustion box to fix the moxa stick so that it will not loosen. Put the lid on the moxibustion box. Place the moxibustion box on the part that needs moxibustion, and fix it with the rubber strip and the hook on the outside of the box (you can free your hands at this time, but you must adjust the height of the moxa stick in time to control the temperature of the moxibustion, and avoid burns and damage to the parts inside the box).

Some friends may have such a misunderstanding, that is, they think that one of the moxibustion box or the moxibustion cup is better. This understanding is actually incorrect. Whether it is a moxibustion box or a moxibustion cup, it is very reliable for moxibustion treatment. And because the moxibustion box or the moxibustion cup can be freely extended and retracted, the dosage is easier to control and the operation is more convenient and flexible.
