Summer is often considered the best moxibustion season. With the arrival of autumn, whether to continue to do moxibustion in the cool breeze has made many people who love moxibustion confused.

The reason why many people think that moxibustion is good in summer is because the yang energy is strong in summer, and moxibustion is more conducive to removing the cold in the body. The purpose of doing Sanfu moxibustion in Sanfu is to " treat in winter diseases in summer". Secondly, doing moxibustion in summer is not easy to catch a cold or get sick. In summer, the yang energy in nature is strong, and the yang energy in the human body is also at a high level. Moxibustion can be said to be "icing on the cake".

As for moxibustion in autumn and winter, from the starting point, it can be said to be a "timely help". The weather turns cooler in autumn and the autumn wind is rustling, and the yang energy in the human body is also in a tendency to be restrained and decline. If moxibustion and health care can be carried out in time at this time, the purpose of warming the meridians and regulating the qi and blood can be achieved. Next, let’s take a look at the three main reasons why moxibustion is suitable for autumn.

1. Autumn is easy to damage human immunity

The weather in autumn changes in various ways, with mixed cold and heat, and a large temperature difference between morning and evening. The skin and pores are open and closed, and are prone to cold, depleting yang energy, and reducing immunity. At this time, if the body's yang energy is insufficient, it is easy to suffer from the weather to cause physical weakness and spontaneous sweating, cold runny nose, allergic fever, skin rash , restless sleep at night (easy to wake up, dreaming).

Harm: Gynecological inflammation, allergic diseases, mental depression, restless sleep at night.

Moxibustion effect: replenishes qi and blood, improves immunity, and improves sleep.

2. Autumn is dry, which can easily damage qi and essence

The wind is strong and dry in autumn, and the heat in summer steam is steaming, and the body fluids are consumed faster, just like trees will dry up quickly on a windy desert. At this time, if the body is insufficient yang energy, the ability of yang energy to firmly absorb body fluids will be weakened, and water and collagen will be lost at an accelerated speed. It causes dry and oily skin, pigmentation, dark facies, thick pores, dry throat, itchy throat, red eyes, swelling of the eyes, small menstrual flow, hair loss, , dizziness and headache.

Hazards: Skin is overly aging, breasts are loose and sagging, and obesity.

Moxibustion effect: consolidates body fluids, moisturizes the body and resists aging, replenishes qi and nourishes blood , nourishes the internal organs and joints.

3. The fallen leaves are sad, and the autumn dew condenses

The sunshine in autumn decreases, the yang energy converges, and the temperature gradually drops. The wind is tight and rustling, the fallen leaves are yellow, and the environment is sad. At this time, the lack of yang energy in the human body will cause anxiety and depression, low self-evaluation, and little negative words; in addition, the cold and cool energy will gradually increase, causing blood stasis, joint pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and in severe cases, breast fibroids, thyroid tumors, gynecological fibroids, etc.

Hazards: Insomnia, depression, heart disease, tuberculosis, myocardial infarction Cerebral infarction .

Moxibustion effect: loosen the chest and regulate qi, warm the nourishment and dispel cold, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis .

After autumn, the weather turns from heat to cool, the temperature difference between day and night increases, the respiratory tract of the elderly is aging, local defense and immune functions are reduced, the airway secretion removal function is reduced, and the lungs are prone to infection. The lungs are the most "delicate" organ in the human body, and dry weather in autumn can easily damage the lungs, especially for the elderly. If the lungs are damaged due to dry autumn, they will easily become infected with many lung diseases in winter. Therefore, in autumn, we should moisturize dryness, yin and lung health.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lungs control the skin and fur and control the important sweating function of the human body. The lungs open to the nose, regulating the balance between the human body and the external environment. Healthy lungs and fewer diseases in the whole body. It is not only an organ that stores oxygen in the human body, but it can also inhibit viruses, bacteria and other harmful particles that are transmitted through the air. The healthier the lungs, the less likely they are to develop severe illness.
