1. There are so many benefits of moxibustion for children !

Promote blood circulation and dispel cold, and you can visit the doctor less often for minor ailments

The sun is the yang of the sky, and mugwort is the yang of the earth, that is to say, mugwort is the sun growing on the ground. Therefore, promoting blood circulation and dispelling cold is what moxibustion is best at. We also often use moxibustion to regulate various symptoms of blood stasis, yang deficiency and fear of cold. Modern books believe that moxibustion can cure more than 400 diseases, but the ancients believed that moxibustion can cure all diseases.

The late moxibustion master Mr. Zhou Meisheng wrote in his book "Moxibustion Rope" that he used moxibustion to perfection, including treating Liu Xiang's sports injuries. He believed that in the case of sports injuries, the effect of moxibustion in promoting qi and blood circulation would be particularly good.

A child sprained his ankle and was completely healed after two treatments of moxibustion. Some people also dislocated their arms. After they were reconnected, I applied moxibustion on both sides. Generally, the patient stopped crying out in pain after one treatment. It can warm the meridians and dispel cold, and can be used for colds and chills.

Nourish the spleen and kidney, regulate appetite and eat more

This is speaking from the perspective of its effect. Mugwort itself has the energy of fire. In traditional Chinese medicine, fire produces earth, and earth is the spleen and stomach. Therefore, mugwort has a very strong function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are called the foundation of acquired constitution. All the food and water we eat must be transformed into qi and blood before they can be used by the body.

When a child is born, it is 0, which is equivalent to winter, 3 months is equivalent to spring, and 6 months is in the position of fire. At first it is water, then wood, and then fire. When it reaches the position of fire, since fire can produce earth, the spleen and stomach begin to move and can digest grains. Therefore, our ancients have always advocated feeding grains to children when they are 6 months old.

Many children damage their spleen and stomach when they are fed complementary foods too early, because they do not have the firepower to digest the food. If you have such a child around you, we should tell him to apply moxibustion to the child's stomach, especially the Hegu point, to slowly replenish the spleen and stomach that have been damaged in the past.

Yang Qi is the foundation of life. The greatest function of moxibustion is to strengthen Yang Qi, mainly the Yang Qi of the spleen and kidneys. The kidney is the foundation of our innate constitution. It controls our growth, reproduction and development, and governs our birth, aging, illness and death. The spleen and stomach are our granaries, so we need to replenish our innate and acquired yang energy.

Clear away heat and purge fire, no longer prone to fever

Sun Simiao's medical records record the use of moxibustion to clear heat from children. We know that children will have a fever when they catch a cold. Fever is our body's instinct to use fever to expel the cold from our body.

When our hand is pinched by the door, you will find that your hand feels particularly burning. This is because your body uses heat to mobilize all your qi and blood to repair the wound. At this time, we use the power of moxa fire to save your body's energy.

Therefore, we use this method to clear away heat and purge fire. The most common patients are children with fever, as well as those with acute tonsillitis, mumps, hand, foot and mouth disease, and recurrent high fever. It is better to use moxibustion as an auxiliary method while seeking medical treatment, but it is not recommended for high fever. Moreover, moxibustion is very effective in reducing swelling and dispersing nodules. Rheumatism, mumps, tonsils, etc. are all treated with this effect of moxa.

To dispel wind and cold, children with colds can get fewer injections

Mugwort is a plant that is particularly good at unblocking meridians. The most important thing for a healthy person is sufficient qi and blood, and unobstructed meridians. When you have these two conditions, sub-health will stay away from you. Especially when children have abdominal pain, moxibustion will make the pain go away soon!

Air-conditioned rooms in the summer are particularly prone to colds, and children are prone to runny noses and sneezing. At this time, you can apply moxibustion to Yingxiang, Yintang, Shenzhu and Hegu for about 10 minutes, and the child's nose will flow out, and you will see his face turn red and his hands become warm.

There is the most humidity in summer. Many children develop eczema in summer because they eat cold food, which hurts the spleen and causes the spleen to fail to function and transform. The resulting dampness can also be treated with moxibustion, which is effective and quick, and the children will not feel any pain.
