As a practitioner in the moxibustion industry, I have witnessed the evolution from traditional moxibustion sticks to various “innovative” products. When smokeless moxibustion sticks first gained popularity, I, like many colleagues, felt both intrigued and cautious. Today, drawing from practical experience, I would like to discuss this topic objectively.
Moxibustion—this ancient therapy accompanied by wispy smoke and a distinctive aroma—is quietly resurging in modern wellness practices. Yet behind this trend lie numerous mythologized tales and dangerous misconceptions. What is moxibustion therapy? True moxibustion is far more than simply “applying heat with fire”; it is a precise art integrating time-honored wisdom with modern scientific understanding.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) associates arthritis with “obstruction by cold and dampness” and “impaired qi and blood circulation”. Moxibustion uses the warmth of heat and the energy of herbs to dispel cold dampness and promote local qi and blood circulation, thereby relieving pain and restoring joint function. It is a gentle yet deep natural therapy for arthritis pain, particularly suitable as a complementary treatment.
Moxibustion is a common method used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating illnesses and promoting wellness. During the pandemic, many people have also turned to moxibustion to purify indoor air. A common question arises: Is moxibustion smoke harmful?
A moxibustion box is a small container specifically designed for moxibustion therapy. Typically made of wood or metal, it securely holds burning moxa sticks inside. Numerous small holes in the box allow the heat and medicinal properties generated by the burning moxa to penetrate the box and reach the body’s acupoints safely.
Have you ever wondered, “Can you do moxibustion yourself?” ” As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gains popularity, many people are interested in bringing this wellness practice into their living rooms. The answer is yes—but you must acquire the relevant knowledge, prepare properly, and proceed with caution.
Hello everyone! Lately, I’ve noticed more and more people turning to moxibustion for wellness. However, many discard the moxibustion ash after treatment, which is actually quite wasteful. Moxibustion ash has many practical uses in daily life!
Many women experience abdominal pain during menstruation that can feel torturous. Symptoms include mild abdominal cramps, back pain, and, in severe cases, individuals may turn pale, break out in a cold sweat, and need painkillers just to tolerate the pain. This intense discomfort often leads people to wonder: Why does menstruation cause such pain? How does dysmenorrhea really occur?
When people describe a healthy and beautiful woman, they often say, “Her complexion is rosy, like peach blossoms—soft, pink, and radiant.” In traditional Chinese medicine, such a look reflects abundant qi and blood, while a dull or pale complexion is often linked to Qi and blood deficiency.
