There is a difference between moxibustion and moxa soaking in terms of treatment methods and treatment of disease conditions.
Moxibustion refers to the use of moxibustion materials made of moxa leaves to produce moxa heat to stimulate acupuncture points on the surface of the body or specific parts of the body, through stimulating the activity of meridian qi, to achieve the efficacy of preventing disease and treating disease.
Mugwort bath is a therapeutic method of soaking in a bath with mugwort leaves boiled with the right amount of water to produce a relatively thick juice. There is a difference in the treatment method.
Bath with moxa has the effect of driving cold, dehumidification, through the meridian effect, more suitable for wind-cold cold, uterine cold, body cold and other people.
Moxibustion is more widely used to warm the menstruation and disperse cold, support the yang and fix off (by replenishing the yang to treat prolapsed diseases), eliminate stasis and dissipate the efficacy of knots and so on. It is mostly used in the treatment of stomachache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, prolapse, leakage (excessive menstrual flow or dripping), leucorrhea and many other diseases.
Moxibustion and moxa bath are not suitable for the application of people who are allergic to moxa, and if there is a deficiency of yin and fire, dampness and heat, solid heat on fire and other diseases, it is also not suitable for moxibustion or moxa bath to regulate.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in case of physical discomfort, and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of the doctor.
