Which acupoints can be moxibustioned for people with yang deficiency?

Sometimes we have to sigh at the profoundness and magic of our traditional Chinese medicine. We don't need modern equipment, just "look, smell, ask, and cut" to determine what's wrong with a person's body. There are also therapies like acupuncture, acupoints, pulse diagnosis, cupping, scraping, etc., which are all incredible. In Chinese medicine, yang deficiency constitution can be relieved by moxibustion on acupoints, so where are these acupoints in the body?

People with yang deficiency can use moxibustion on three acupoints:

First, Shenque: the navel. It has the effects of warming and replenishing the original Yang, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and reviving and consolidating the body. Procedure: Take a piece of fresh ginger 0.2-0.4 cm thick, pierce several holes with a needle, cover the navel, and then place a small or medium moxa cone on the ginger and light it for moxibustion. It is best to apply moxibustion at 9 o'clock every night. Each time, moxibustion should be continued until the local area becomes warm and comfortable, and a slight red flush appears at the moxibustion site.

Second, Guanyuan: Located 3 inches below the navel, Guanyuan acupoint has the function of nourishing the foundation and replenishing the lower burner. Yuanyin and Yuanyang meet here. Rubbing this acupoint can regulate the balance of yin and yang. Operation: Use your palm to press and vibrate the Guanyuan point. The vibration method is to cross and overlap your hands and place them on the Guanyuan acupoint, apply a little pressure, and then push the crossed hands up and down quickly and in small amplitude. The operation can be done at any time and place. Be careful not to use excessive force. Just massage until you feel a local soreness or swelling.

Third, Qihai: The Qihai point of the human body is located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 1.5 inches below the navel. This acupoint is like an ocean of qi, hence the name Qi Hai. This point has the function of nourishing vital energy, replenishing yang energy, and prolonging life. Operation: Moxibustion: Rotate the moxibustion stick on the acupuncture points until the skin turns red.

Now do you have some understanding of the three acupoints related to yang deficiency constitution? To put it simply, these three acupoints are located near the navel in the lower abdomen. By massaging these three acupoints, moxibustion can improve the yang deficiency constitution. However, for Chinese medicine, acupoints and the like are difficult to grasp if you are not a professional, so if you want to use this method, it is best to find an experienced professional.
