Where is the best place for men to do moxibustion

The most important thing in Chinese medicine is massage and cupping. Cupping is also called moxibustion. Especially for men, after a hard day, doing moxibustion before going to bed at night will make the whole body feel smooth and relieve fatigue. However, moxibustion is particularly particular about acupoints. If the acupoints are not right, it will not only have no effect, but may also cause the opposite consequences. So where is the best place for men to do moxibustion?

Moxibustion can warm and dredge the meridians, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve numbness and relieve pain. It can be used to treat various diseases and symptoms caused by cold blood stagnation and meridian obstruction, such as wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, cold hernia and abdominal pain.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when Qi moves, blood moves, and when Qi stops, blood stops. The two are closely related and influence each other. The circulation of Qi and blood in the meridians is entirely due to the push of "Qi". Various reasons such as "Qi is restrained when cold, and Qi is fast when hot" can affect the circulation of Qi and blood, and cause all kinds of diseases. The circulation of Qi and blood has the characteristics of dispersing when encountering warmth and condensing when encountering cold. Therefore, Zhu Danxi said: "Blood flows when encountering heat, and condenses when encountering cold".

In clinical practice, moxibustion is very effective in treating dysmenorrhea caused by cold evil.

The heat from burning moxa can warm the middle and dispel cold, dispel wind and cold and relieve the symptoms. It can be used to treat headaches, neck and shoulder pain, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms caused by external pathogens and spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. It can promote the flow of qi and blood, eliminate blood stasis and resolve knots. Pain occurs when qi and blood are not unblocked, and swelling occurs when qi and blood are stagnant. Moxibustion can break up knots and dissolve hardness, and use unblocking as a function to lead the poison out.

For example, when spring comes, many young people can’t wait to take off their down jackets and put on spring clothes. They may catch a cold and suffer from headaches, neck and shoulder pains. After moxibustion treatment, the effect is immediate!

Warming up Yang and replenishing deficiency, restoring Yang and consolidating deficiency

Moxibustion can warm the yang and replenish the deficiency, restore the yang and consolidate the body. It can be used to treat spleen and kidney yang deficiency and sudden loss of primordial yang, such as chronic diarrhea, chronic dysentery, incontinence, spermatorrhea, impotence, premature ejaculation, loss of body, shock and other symptoms. When the yang is sick, the yin is strong, and the strong yin is cold and jue, or the primordial qi is weak and the pulse is about to fall off. At this time, as the "Suwen·Jue Lun" says: "When the yang qi is weak in the lower part, it is cold jue". When the yang qi is weak, the yin qi is strong alone, and the yang qi cannot flow to the hands and feet, so the hands and feet are cold. At this time, heavy moxibustion of Guanyuan, Shenque and other acupoints with large incense can eliminate the cold of yin, restore yang and save the body. This is beyond the reach of other acupoint stimulation therapies.

Moxibustion can be used to treat symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency and sudden prolapse of primordial yang, such as gastroptosis, nephroptosis, uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, and long-term unhealed metrorrhagia in women. Qi deficiency and sinking can be caused by weak and unstable yang. The chapter "Lingshu Jingmai" says: "If it sinks, moxibustion it", so symptoms of qi deficiency and sinking and visceral prolapse are often treated with moxibustion.

In clinical practice, we often encounter female friends who suffer from deficiency of Qi and blood. After several sessions of moxibustion, they gradually feel full of energy, not as tired as before, and their Qi and blood feel more and more sufficient.
