From Minor Heat to Start of Autumn, it is known as "Fu Xia," or the "Dog Days of Summer," which is the hottest and most intense period of the year. According to the principle of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer," taking advantage of the body's skin and pores being more open, moxibustion with the effect of warming Yang and tonifying Qi is applied to patients. This can inspire the body's energy, enhance resistance to diseases, and achieve the purpose of preventing and adjusting diseases. This method is effective for the regulation and prevention of chronic diseases that tend to occur in winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, arthralgia, and chilblains, and is also known as "treating winter diseases in summer."
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
The combination of "Sanjiu Moxibustion" and "Sanfu Moxibustion" involves applying moxibustion during the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, respectively. This practice can significantly enhance the body's immune capabilities, with the therapeutic effects complementing each other.
