Selecting Suitable Moxibustion Method：

Moxibustion is used in a variety of ways, in addition to the most traditional hand-held moxa moxibustion (Suspended moxibustion), but also include the moxa columns into the copper or bamboo box fixed in the body of the “portable moxibustion”, pasted on the acupoints of the “moxibustion patches”, as well as in recent years introduced the electric heating “Electronic moxibustion devices”.

Traditional Suspended moxibustion is the most effective. This method works through the combined effect of the medicinal power of moxa, the continuous heat and the infrared rays released by the “ember“ (burning tip) to deeply expel cold, warm the meridians and open the collaterals. Portable moxibustion is second only to Suspended moxibustion in terms of effectiveness, although it is not as flexible as hand-held to adjust the distance and temperature, but it facilitates a long period of moxibustion and is suitable for continuous moxibustion in specific areas.

Moxibustion patch is suitable for beginners or those who only use it for daily health care. Although its efficacy is not as pronounced as Suspended moxibustion or Moxibustion, but it is easy to use, safe and does not require ignition, which is suitable for the working environment or inconvenient to ignite the fire scene. However, moxa patch tend to be relatively high price and limited efficacy, and are not suitable for long-term use from a cost-effective point of view.

Electronic moxibustion device provides a smokeless, fireless alternative to some people who can't touch open flames or who are sensitive to odors. Chinese medicine believes that the core effect of moxibustion, in addition to warmth, is more important is the unique medicinal penetration of burning moxa and the role of “qi”. Electronic devices can only imitate the temperature, can’t provide the unique medicinal energy produced by the burning of moxa and”, Chinese medicine is not appreciated for these products.

The term of moxibustion evolves with the development of technology. However,the warmth simulated by electric current and the duration calculated by algorithms . It is the same as the original aspiration of doctors from a thousand years ago. While technology empowers it, the original aspiration remains unchanged. Moxibustion has always responded to humanity's eternal longing for health with the warmth of plants, which is the most touching.
