Diabetes belongs to the category of “thirst” in traditional Chinese medicine. Moxibustion can relieve some of the symptoms of diabetes and assist in the treatment of diabetic complications, but it is not a substitute for medication or insulin in the treatment of diabetes.
Moxibustion is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine, which mainly focuses on certain acupuncture points, which have meridian connections with the internal organs of the human body. Moxibustion can regulate the function of the organs, alleviate organ complications, repair diabetes-induced sleep disorders, neuropathy, etc., and increase metabolism to utilize excess blood sugar in the body.
However the purpose of diabetes with moxibustion treatment is not to lower blood sugar, but to improve the complications or symptoms of diabetes. When diabetes is present, it is recommended that an endocrinologist visit the clinic to select the appropriate oral hypoglycemic medication or insulin to regulate blood glucose based on blood glucose monitoring, glycated hemoglobin, and other tests.
Moxibustion operation should be carried out by a professional doctor, do not operate on your own to avoid delay.
