What is the best tool for moxibustion?

We are all familiar with moxibustion, which is a health care treatment method based on the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and has a deep foundation among the people in our country. Traditionally, there are no specific and strict requirements for moxibustion. You can use it in whatever way you feel comfortable and convenient. However, when the external environment temperature is high, we recommend that you choose a dedicated moxibustion box, which is relatively safer and has better treatment effects.

The temperature of the wall of the moxibustion box is moderate and will not burn people. It has a smaller contact area with the skin and is not easy to hold sweat. If the ambient temperature is low and you are wearing many clothes, it will be inconvenient to use a moxibustion box, then you can use a moxibustion cup. If the moxibustion area is large, you should choose a moxibustion box with multiple holes and a moxibustion jar with multiple jars. When choosing moxibustion tools, you should consider your own conditions and the surrounding environment.

There are many materials for moxibustion boxes in our lives. Wood and bamboo are the most commonly used ones. The bamboo moxibustion box has a beautiful appearance and can be opened as a lid. It can also be used as a dual-purpose box. You can use moxa sticks or moxa wool. However, if the lid is used for a long time, the lid will be demagnetized and the lid will often fall off by itself. Therefore, everyone should be careful when using it to avoid the moxa stick falling off.

Introduced above are some features of the common bamboo moxibustion boxes. However, in traditional Chinese medicine, there are no special instruments for moxibustion. Some places also use moxa sticks rubbed into small strips and perform moxibustion directly on the skin. The effect is also good, but the person performing the moxibustion needs to concentrate and not be distracted. He needs to pay attention to the burning of the moxa stick at all times to avoid burns to the skin due to over-burning of the moxa stick.
