What is the effect of moxibustion on Yongquan

Moxibustion is mainly used for physical health care in modern Chinese medicine clinical practice and is more common in Chinese medicine health centers and beauty salons. Because it has good health-preserving effects and no side effects, it is more popular in clinical health care. The therapeutic principle of moxibustion is to stimulate the acupuncture points through the heat from the burning moxa sticks, thereby achieving the health-preserving purpose of dredging the meridians and warming and nourishing the kidney yang.

Moxibustion has a wide range of effects. The methanol extract of the combustion product of moxa has the effect of scavenging free radicals, and its effect is stronger than the methanol extract of unburned moxa. The lipid peroxides in the local skin after moxibustion were significantly reduced, and this effect was caused by the combustion products of moxa. The burning of moxa not only does not destroy its effective medicinal ingredients, but enhances them. The antioxidant substances in the products of moxa combustion adhere to the skin at the acupuncture points and penetrate into the body through the heat of moxibustion to take effect.
