Many people are easily tired and afraid of cold, or feel "cold in the heart", very uncomfortable, cold hands and feet, or abdominal distension, no appetite, and cold feet after a night of sleep...

Cold and cold days and weather changes have the greatest impact on people with yang deficiency in the body, deficiency of qi and blood, or deficiency of both heart and spleen, and spleen deficiency and dampness. Because of insufficient yang qi in the body, the yin-cold (humid) qi is too heavy, corresponding to the yin-cold qi in the body, and it is easy to get sick.

The faster the season changes, the more the human autonomic nerve regulation function is required, and the corresponding regulation ability must be fast and stronger. Only people with strong physique have such autonomic nerve regulation ability. People who are usually weak, regardless of the type of "weakness" mentioned in Chinese medicine, are due to poor autonomic nerve function.

In terms of health care in traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion on the belly button can stimulate the body's yang energy and strengthen the autonomic nerve function to improve the physical condition, especially in the days before and after the twenty-four solar terms, to help the body adapt to the changes in solar terms.

If the body suddenly feels uncomfortable for no reason, it is usually around 24 solar terms. Through the discomfort of the body and the corresponding solar terms, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the body's cold and heat deficiency and excess or the imbalance of the five internal organs can be derived. If there are 24 solar terms, most solar terms changes will cause physical discomfort. It is due to weak physique, insufficient qi and blood, and the body cannot adjust.

Moxibustion can be used throughout the winter. It belongs to water in winter, which corresponds to the "kidney" of the human body. Moxibustion at Guanyuan in winter has the effect of nourishing the kidney. Especially for menopausal, kidney deficiency, and people who often stay up to sleep at night, moxibustion can help the yang to be absorbed and stored, which is beneficial to the body in the second year, especially for people who are prone to colds and allergies. The effect is significant.

If the body's yang is weak and the friends who have been moxibusting the Guanyuan acupoint at the belly button still have symptoms of coldness and fatigue, they need to moxibus the governor channel to invigorate the yang. Suspended moxibustion (use moxa moxibustion without touching the body):
Oshui
Back vest (3-5 thoracic vertebrae)
Life Gate + Kidney
Balian point
Moxibustion on one part for 15-20 minutes or a part of it is warm and comfortable, and the sense of moxibustion penetrates the body.
2-3 zones at a time or as comfortable as you are.

But when moxibustion, pay attention to windproof and warmth, and don't catch cold. Moxibustion on the governor channel works best at noon (11-1pm).
