The 5 Key Mechanisms of Moxibustion

1. Replenishing Yang Energy

As the saying goes, "Life is sustained by one breath," referring to yang energy, the fundamental force of life.

• Strong yang energy signifies vitality, while weak yang energy leads to vulnerability and illness.
• Yang energy is the root of life, and maintaining health involves nourishing yang energy.
• Moxibustion, being a pure yang therapy, effectively replenishes yang energy, promoting vitality and warding off diseases.

2. Promoting Qi and Blood Circulation

• Qi is the source of life, and blood is the material foundation.
• "Qi moves, blood flows; qi stagnates, blood congeals."
• As meridians serve as channels for qi and blood, moxibustion helps to boost qi, nourish blood, regulate qi flow, and strengthen middle qi.

3. Providing Warm Stimulation

Moxibustion is a warm therapy that stimulates meridians, acupoints, and nerves.

• It regulates immunity, balances yin and yang, and strengthens the body's defense mechanisms while dispelling pathogens.

4. Activating Special Substances in the Body

• Moxibustion enhances the activity of white blood cells, boosting immunity.
• It aids recovery across the body's nine major systems, provides dual regulation of physiological functions, strengthens self-healing, raises body temperature, and slows aging.

5. Producing Aromatic Medicinal Vapors

• Moxibustion emits medicinal vapors, which are absorbed through the senses and skin, reaching the brain and central nervous system.
• These vapors help cleanse the body's internal environment, calm the mind, and open orifices.
• Moxibustion contains selenium, a substance with anti-cancer properties, offering benefits in regulating the constitution and improving overall health.
