What are the effects of moxibustion in treating pancreatitis?

The pancreas is an important organ in our body. Its main function is to regulate the functions of the endocrine and endocrine systems. The pancreas can secrete a variety of digestive enzymes to help digest food in the gastrointestinal tract. The pancreas can also secrete insulin, which is very effective in suppressing high blood sugar in the body. At the same time, the pancreas is also responsible for regulating the physiological functions of the whole body. It plays an important role in regulating the body's immunity.

Although the pancreas is small, it plays an extraordinary role. Its physiological functions and pathological changes are closely related to life. Several digestive enzymes in the pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas play a "protagonist" role in the process of food digestion, especially the digestion of fat. Although the pancreas is small in size, it contains endocrine cells with multiple functions, such as secreting glucagon, insulin, motilin, etc. In addition to participating in the digestion and absorption of substances, the hormones secreted by these cells are also responsible for regulating the physiological functions of the whole body. If these cells are diseased, or if they secrete excess or insufficient substances, symptoms will occur.

If you suffer from pancreatitis and use moxibustion to treat it, the specific steps are as follows: select the acupoints Zhongwan, Xiawan, Zhangmen, Tianshu, Guanyuan, Zusanli, and Yanglingquan. During the moxibustion process, you can use a multi-eye moxibustion box to do mobile moxibustion on the acupoints in the upper abdomen for about 20 minutes, and then move to Guanyuan and moxibustion in the lower abdomen for 10-20 minutes. Zusanli and Yanglingquan are very close to each other, so they can be moxibustioned together.

Moxibustion is a treatment method with good warming and tonic properties. Generally, we do not recommend taking heat-purging drugs at the same time during the treatment process. As an important organ regulating body functions, the pancreas is very likely to endanger health if the disease is not treated in time. Therefore, in daily life we ​​should pay special attention to the health care treatment of pancreatitis and appropriately strengthen nutritional supplements.
