The main function of moxibustion is to warm the meridians and collaterals, warm the center and tonify the yang, etc., which can have the effect of dispelling cold.
It can warm and harmonize the spleen and stomach, the function of the spleen and stomach and metabolism is strong, the dampness will not stay in the body and cohesion, the water metabolism is normal, the dampness and cold will be slowly discharged, so moxibustion can be removed from the body of cold and dampness.
In the process of moxibustion, if you don’t pay attention to keep warm, it is easy to make the dampness and cold invade the body, resulting in the aggravation of dampness and cold in the body. Therefore, it is important to keep warm after moxibustion.
