Is it better to use a moxibustion box or a moxibustion jar?

Moxibustion cups or moxibustion boxes are both used for moxibustion. Both tools have good effects on moxibustion. Whether it is a moxibustion box or a moxibustion cup, they are both good choices. There is no difference between the two in which one is better or worse. Of course, since the moxibustion box and the moxibustion cup are two different instruments, there are certain differences in the methods of operation, but the functions they play are exactly the same.

Moxibustion box: The moxibustion box, also known as the warm moxibustion box, is the preferred instrument for moxibustion. Due to its small size, simple and convenient operation, it combines health preservation, disease prevention, treatment and beauty care in one, and has always been favored by family health practitioners. The moxibustion box uses the heat from the moxa fire to penetrate the skin, which can warm the meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, remove dampness and cold, warm the meridians and relieve pain, balance yin and yang, promote blood circulation, adjust the functions of internal organs, promote the body's metabolism, and enhance resistance.

Moxibustion cup: A Chinese medical device for holding moxa. Usually used together with moxa sticks and moxa wool. The characteristic is that the temperature of the tank body is easy to control during moxa therapy, and the position between the burning point of the moxa stick and the human body can be accurately controlled to improve the moxibustion effect; the burning speed of the moxa stick is appropriate, achieving a good treatment effect, saving the amount of moxa stick used, preventing hidden dangers of fire, and the heat-insulating outer layer ensures that the outer shell temperature is appropriate during use. Function: Warms and dredges the meridians, removes pathogenic cold, and can be used to treat diseases caused by pathogenic cold. It has the function of guiding Qi and blood, or lifting the Qi in the middle or guiding Qi downward, and can treat symptoms of Qi sinking in the middle and hyperactivity of liver Yang. It can restore Yang and consolidate the body, replenish Qi and strengthen the foundation, and treat Yang Qi deficiency syndrome. It can promote qi and blood circulation, disperse blood stasis and reduce swelling, and can treat various pain syndromes and cold furuncles, etc.

The above is just a brief introduction to some benefits or related knowledge of moxibustion boxes and moxibustion sticks. During traditional moxibustion, we may need to take off most of our clothes before performing the moxibustion treatment. However, when using a moxibustion box or a moxibustion cup, we only need to expose the specific acupoints to the outside to perform moxibustion. There is no need to take off all the clothes.
