What is the effect of moxibustion in treating vasculitis?

Vasculitis is a common vascular disease in clinical practice. The main symptoms of this disease are redness, purpleness and numbness in the patient's fingers or toes. If not treated in time, it will lead to ulceration and necrosis of skin tissue, and more seriously, it will lead to disability of hands and feet. This disease is mainly caused by insufficient vital energy and insufficient supply of qi and blood in the patient. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regulating qi and blood, warming the meridians and dredging collaterals can achieve certain therapeutic effects.

Moxibustion is a common TCM treatment method for regulating yin and yang. It can allow heat to flow between the body's acupuncture points and meridians to achieve the purpose of warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals. In addition, moxibustion on acupuncture points such as Zusanli also has a good effect on improving the body's immunity and regulating the body's qi and blood. People who have cold hands and feet in winter usually suffer from insufficient Qi and blood in the body. Long-term moxibustion treatment can achieve good therapeutic effects.

Vasculitis can be treated with moxibustion, but the treatment time will be relatively long. This is because moxibustion can regulate the body's qi and blood, replenish the body's vitality, and allow blood heat to reach the peripheral nerves faster and more stably through heat transfer, which can significantly improve the lack of nutrition of the peripheral nerves. If you heavily moxibustion the Guanyuan point, Zhongwan point, and Zusanli point, you can dispel the cold and invigorate the yang, so that qi and blood can reach the limbs and the disease will definitely be cured.

However, we need to remind everyone here that although the technical requirements for moxibustion are not very strict, many people can perform moxibustion at home by themselves, but in the specific operation, we should be careful not to be distracted to avoid moxibustion damaging the skin. In addition, although the requirements for moxibustion acupoints are not strict, the patient's comfort should still be the purpose. Also, women who are menstruating cannot undergo moxibustion.
