How to treat cold hands and feet with moxibustion

The health-care effect of moxibustion is ideal, and moxibustion can also be used to treat diseases. Some friends may have cold hands and feet in autumn and winter, or even in summer. At this time, you may choose to do moxibustion maintenance. The selection of acupoints is very critical when doing moxibustion health care. Cold hands and feet and fear of cold are more common in middle-aged and elderly people, but less common among teenagers. It is a typical manifestation of insufficient Yang Qi. Let's take a look at how moxibustion can regulate the phenomenon of cold hands and feet.

Cold hands and feet are called yang deficiency constitution in Chinese medicine. A yang deficiency constitution means insufficient Yang Qi, and insufficient heat generated in the body. Insufficient Yang Qi will naturally lead to fear of cold. There are more women than men with this physique, and more young people. Of course, many middle-aged and elderly people also have symptoms of cold body and fear of cold, which is also a typical manifestation of insufficient vitality. Secondary cold-fear diseases that occur in middle-aged and elderly people must be related to the disease they suffer from, that is, insufficient Yang Qi and weak body. Insufficient heat generated in the body due to the disease will eventually lead to Yang deficiency.

Moxibustion is yang and is used in conjunction with fire. Moxibustion is an external treatment method that uses the burning of moxa on the acupuncture points on the body surface. With the help of the mild heat of the moxibustion fire, the effects of drugs and the functions of acupoints, it can warm the qi and blood, penetrate the meridians, strengthen the body and eliminate evil, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases and health care. Moxibustion is a disease prevention method that has been used since ancient times and has a good therapeutic effect on cold limbs. Moxibustion on the following acupoints can help you warm up your meridians and improve your weak and cold constitution.

Yongquan Point: Yongquan Point is an acupuncture point on the sole of the human foot, located in the depression on the front part of the foot, one-third of the way between the ends of the web between the 2nd and 3rd toes and the heel. It is the lowest point in the body and the first point of the kidney meridian. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine said: "The kidney comes from the Yongquan, and the Yongquan is the center of the foot." This means that the Qi of the kidney meridian is like the water of a spring, which originates from under the feet and flows out to irrigate all parts of the body.

Moxibustion health care has existed since ancient times and is not a new thing. Until now, people's economic conditions are better than before, and they are more inclined to health care, so they pay special attention to moxibustion. I have to say here that not everyone is suitable for moxibustion. As Ye introduced above, moxibustion is yang. If one's yang energy is very strong, moxibustion will have the opposite effect.
