What are the benefits of moxibustion at Yongquan?

Moxibustion has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine treatment and health care in our country. Its treatment mechanism is very similar to that of acupuncture. In the specific treatment process, moxibustion can also be used as an auxiliary treatment method of acupuncture. Moxibustion is a method of stimulating the human body's acupuncture points through the heat from the burning of moxa sticks. While opening up the body's meridians, it can significantly warm and replenish the body's yang energy, achieving the health-preserving effect of nourishing the blood and replenishing qi.

The therapeutic method of moxibustion is to use the heat generated by moxibustion materials made of mugwort to stimulate the acupuncture points or specific parts of the body surface, and to adjust the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body by stimulating the activity of meridian qi, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and curing diseases. .Moxibustion is a treatment method that uses moxa fire to stimulate specific parts of the human body to prevent and cure diseases. Its mechanism is primarily related to the warm stimulation of local fire.

Moxibustion can cause local skin congestion and capillary dilation through warm stimulation, enhance local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, relieve and eliminate smooth muscle spasms, enhance the metabolic capacity of local skin tissue, and promote the dissipation and absorption of pathological products such as inflammation, adhesion, exudate, and hematoma; it can also cause the diffusion of inhibitory substances in the cerebral cortex, reduce the excitability of the nervous system, and exert a sedative and analgesic effect. At the same time, the warming effect can also promote the absorption of drugs.
