Moxibustion Many people think that acupuncture and moxibustion are the same therapy, but they are not. Although they are all based on the understanding of human meridians and acupoints, acupuncture only produces physical effects, while moxibustion is a compound effect of medicine and physics. There are many benefits! Moxibustion therapy has a wide range of applications.

Dou Cai, a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, compared himself to rebirth, and wrote a medical book Heart Sutra, focusing on supporting Yang. He thinks there are three ways to help Yang since ancient times. Burning moxa is the first, Dan medicine is the second, and aconite is the third. "yang is strong for thousands of years, and being strong will hurt your health", which means that to save your life and live a long life, supporting yang is the only way. Wu Guozhong, a health care master, said: Yang is sufficient for a thousand years, and the method of supporting Yang comes first. Talking about the benefits of moxibustion.
