What are the moxibustion points and their effects?

Moxibustion is a traditional method of treating diseases in Chinese medicine. This treatment method mainly uses moxa or ignites moxa sticks to fumigate the acupuncture points of the human body to achieve the effect of treating diseases. Generally speaking, moxibustion can regulate the body's immune ability, warm the meridians and dispel cold, as well as promote qi and dredge the collaterals. In daily life, moxibustion can be used to treat stomachache and frostbite. Here we will introduce the acupoints and functions of moxibustion.

Moxibustion is a method of using moxa as the main material to make moxa cones or moxa sticks, which are then ignited and used to fumigate or warm the acupoints on the body surface. Its disciplines include Traditional Chinese Medicine (first-level discipline), Acupuncture (second-level discipline), Acupuncture Therapy and others. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine method that uses burning moxa sticks to apply to acupuncture points on the human body. It uses moxa or other drugs to burn and warm the acupuncture points on the body surface, and uses the heat of the moxibustion fire and the effects of the drugs to conduct through the meridians to warm the qi and blood, strengthen the body and eliminate evil, and achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

Moxibustion is particularly effective for mastitis, prostatitis, periarthritis of the shoulder, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical spondylosis, diabetes, etc. Moxibustion therapy has a wide range of applications and was the main means of treating diseases in ancient China. In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effects of warming yang and replenishing qi, warming the meridians and dredge collaterals, eliminating blood stasis and dispersing nodules, and replenishing the middle and benefiting qi. Acupoints: spleen earth point, Shenque point, Guanyuan point, Qihai point, Zusanli point, Sanyinjiao point, etc.

It should be noted that although moxibustion is very effective in treating diseases, the acupoints must be selected accurately during the treatment process. Also, since moxibustion requires fire, and the clothes we wear are flammable, special attention must be paid to fire prevention during moxibustion. It is best to go to a hospital with complete fire-fighting facilities for moxibustion treatment.
