During the Start of Autumn, the heat subsides and the coolness arrives. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that between the Start of Autumn and the Autumn Equinox, the qi transformation shifts from Yang to Yin, temperatures gradually cool down, days become shorter, and nights become longer, with the earth gradually entering a state of conservation. At this time, moxibustion is used to follow the natural sequence of conservation, to consolidate the original Yang internally, to nourish kidney Qi, in preparation for the winter storage, and to nourish the organs.
Apply moxibustion 4 to 5 days before and after the solar term (a total of 8 to 10 days), it is recommended to do it once a day, for 30 to 40 minutes per acupoint.
