What are the functions of moxibustion
1. Local stimulation: Moxibustion stimulates specific parts of the human body with moxa fire. This warm stimulation causes congestion and dilation of capillaries in the stimulated area, enhances blood circulation, strengthens the metabolic capacity of local skin tissue, promotes the dissipation and absorption of pathological products such as inflammation, adhesion, exudate, and hematoma, and can also have sedative and analgesic effects, promoting drug absorption.
2. Regulating immune function: Moxibustion can regulate human immune function, and this regulatory effect is more pronounced in pathological conditions.
3. Disease prevention and health care: Moxibustion not only has therapeutic effects, but also has the functions of disease prevention and health care.
4. Beauty benefits: The external beauty of women applying cosmetics cannot compare to the beauty from the inside out. Moxibustion can dispel fatigue, restore vitality, supplement physical fitness, balance yin and yang, nourish facial features and skin, fade melanin on the epidermis, eliminate edema, eye bags, dark circles, etc., effectively improve facial fatigue, make women's skin rosy, elastic, wrinkle free, and spot free. While beautifying, it also plays a role in weight loss through endocrine systems, making women's bodies healthy, youthful, radiant, and showing feminine beauty from the inside out.

In addition, do not apply moxibustion to large blood vessels or the heart, and do not apply moxibustion to the eyes and face.

After reading the previous text, we can know that not everyone is suitable for moxibustion. Although moxibustion has many effects, we still need to act according to our abilities, especially for children who have poor physical fitness and cannot use moxibustion casually. We should use it carefully under the advice of a doctor, and children should pay attention to more activities. The above is what the editor wants to tell you. I hope you like it!
