Acupuncture and moxibustion is a unique treatment of Chinese medicine. "Acupuncture" and "moxibustion" are always put together because they are often used together; In fact, acupuncture and moxibustion is the general term of acupuncture and moxibustion, which are two concepts.
Needle, with the characters from gold to salt, indicates that the material used for making needle tools in ancient times was metal.
Moxibustion refers to the combination of "long" and "fire" to indicate slow burning.
There are certain differences between "needle" and "moxibustion" in terms of tools used, specific techniques implemented, diseases treated, practical applications, and therapeutic effects. Although there are differences between "acupuncture" and "moxibustion", they cannot be separated and treated separately. It is necessary to differentiate symptoms and choose appropriate methods in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy has appropriate diseases, such as respiratory diseases, eye diseases, stomatological diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and neurological diseases. If used properly, symptoms can be quickly improved; At the same time, acupuncture and moxibustion can also treat many chronic diseases. Therefore, acupuncture and moxibustion has the effect of treating both symptoms and root causes, and regulating yin and yang.
Acupuncture (acupuncture therapy) is the use of different needles to stimulate the meridians and acupoints of the human body through various methods such as lifting, inserting, twisting, rotating, welcoming, and following.For most diseases, acupuncture can regulate, treat, and prevent them, and can be used in internal, external, gynecological, pediatric, and facial functions.
When using acupuncture for treatment, it is necessary to select corresponding meridians or acupoints for different diseases, which are highly targeted.
Moxibustion is the use of moxa wool or other drugs to implement warm stimulation methods such as burning, fumigation, and ironing to warm and regulate the body's qi and blood.
Moxibustion, as a warm stimulation, is suitable for patients with cold constitution or weakness, and should be used with caution for patients with fire constitution or inflammation.
Moxibustion is more suitable as a daily health preservation method to achieve the goal of disease prevention and health care compared to targeted acupuncture.
Although there are differences between "needle" and "moxibustion", they cannot be separated and must "walk on two legs". Acupuncture and moxibustion supplement each other.
