Why Should Modern People Practice Moxibustion for Wellness?

Common Modern Lifestyle Challenges

1. Depletion of Yang Energy
   Modern lifestyles often involve staying up late, high work and life stress, and emotional anxiety, which significantly deplete the body's yang energy.

2. Cold-Damp Constitution
   Frequent exposure to air conditioning, consumption of cold drinks, seafood, and other cooling foods allows cold to invade the body—not only through the mouth but also via the head and limbs—leading to a cold-damp constitution.

3. Blocked Qi and Blood Circulation
   Excessive nutrition, lack of sleep, and overuse of medications cause toxin accumulation in the body. These toxins obstruct the flow of qi and blood, leading to severe qi and blood deficiencies. This aggravates cold and dampness within the body, damaging yang energy and resulting in an imbalanced constitution (hot upper body, cold lower body).

The Reality of Modern Health

These factors describe the condition of most modern individuals:

• Severe depletion of yang energy
• Decline in organ function
• Weak constitution, combined with cold, dampness, toxins, and blockages

The result is yang deficiency, and TCM teaches that all diseases stem from damage to yang energy.

Benefits of Moxibustion for Modern Wellness

Moxibustion is highly effective in:

• Replenishing yang energy
• Supporting yang and strengthening the body's foundation
• Expelling cold and dampness
• Enhancing immunity

Unlike medications, moxibustion stimulates the body's self-healing and repair mechanisms, addressing issues at their root without creating dependency. This makes moxibustion an especially suitable wellness practice for modern individuals.

为什么现代人一定要多做艾灸养生？

现代人常见的生活状态

1. 阳气消耗严重
   现代人普遍喜欢熬夜，工作生活压力大，情绪焦虑，这些都会严重消耗身体的阳气。

2. 寒湿体质
   经常吹空调、喝冷饮、吃海鲜寒凉食品，寒气不仅从口中进入，还会从头部、四肢侵入体内，久而久之形成寒湿体质。

3. 气血运行阻塞
   营养过剩、睡眠不足以及滥用药物会导致体内垃圾堆积，阻塞经络气血运行，人体容易出现气血严重不足的情况。寒湿气加重，阳气受损，最终形成上热下寒的体质。

现代人体质现状

以上状态反映了大多数现代人的身体状况：

• 阳气严重不足
• 脏腑机能下降
• 体质变差，寒、湿、毒、堵并存

最终导致阳气不足，中医认为“万病皆损于阳气”。

艾灸对现代养生的作用

艾灸能够：

• 补充阳气
• 扶阳固本
• 排寒祛湿
• 提高免疫力

与药物不同，艾灸激发的是人体自我修复和自愈能力，从根源调理问题，不会对人体造成依赖。因此，艾灸尤其适合现代人养生。
