Does moxibustion open up the meridians?

Some of our friends may have severe blockage in their meridians and insufficient positive energy in their bodies, so their ability to resist disease is very poor. They catch colds and fevers every now and then, and their physical strength is not very good either. If you do moxibustion at this time, your meridians will be unblocked quickly, your resistance will gradually increase, and your body will not be easily sick. Moxibustion can also replenish the body's vital energy and dispel cold and dampness.

What kind of person is a healthy person? The World Health Organization has given standards, both physical and psychological. However, it all boils down to four words - harmony between man and nature, which is from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. The "heaven" here refers to nature, which means that if people can be the same as nature, they will be healthy. To give an analogy, the human body is like the earth, the meridians are the rivers and streams on the earth, and the qi and blood are the flowing river water. If the river channel is unobstructed and the water flows smoothly, there will be no health problems; on the contrary, if the river channel is blocked by silt and rocks, water will overflow and the downstream will dry up. If this happens, you are sick.

The main purpose of using moxibustion to treat diseases is to open up blocked meridians in the human body and nourish weak internal organs with Yang Qi. Only when Qi and blood are sufficient can the positive energy fight against pathogens. Moreover, unblocking meridians and replenishing yang energy can not only cure diseases, but it has been discovered that by using them effectively, they can also find diseases, even some minor ones. This is something that massage, bloodletting, cupping, drug administration and other methods cannot achieve, because moxibustion not only calls upon the body's own strength, but also borrows the medicinal properties of mugwort and the heat of moxibustion fire. If the body's primordial Yang Qi is depleted, it cannot be regenerated and can only be replenished. The medicinal properties and thermal properties are both powerful external aids, so moxibustion has always been highly recommended.

The acupoints commonly treated during moxibustion are Fenglong, Zusanli, Guanyuan, Jiexi and Zhongwan. By doing moxibustion on these acupoints, our skin will first feel warm, then there will be a slight burning or tingling sensation, then the body will start to sweat to detoxify and expel moisture. After the moisture comes out, the meridians will begin to become unobstructed, and people will feel more and more comfortable.
