Acupuncture can unblock meridians, regulate qi and blood, replenish vital energy and blood, balance yin and yang, and harmonize the internal organs, thereby achieving the goals of prevention, strengthening the body, anti-aging and treatment.
(1) Warm the meridians to circulate qi and blood
Without the fire to regulate it, it cannot be extracted.” The circulation of blood and qi has the characteristic of dispersing when heated and condensing when cold. Moxibustion uses warmth to unblock the meridians and carry blood and qi.
(2) Strengthening the body’s vital energy and preventing diseases
Acupuncture has the effects of strengthening the primordial qi and preventing diseases. The book “Fei Yue Xin Shu” states: “The true essence of a person is the master of the entire body. When the true qi is strong, the person is healthy; when the true qi is weak, the person falls ill; when the true qi is lost, the person dies. The method for preserving life is acupuncture and moxibustion, which is the first choice.” Mugwort is an herb that is warm, pungent, and hot. By combining it with fire, the two yin and yang elements can complement each other, thereby replenishing and strengthening the primordial qi. When the primordial qi is abundant, the human body becomes strong. “True qi exists within, evil cannot invade.” Therefore, it is known that acupuncture and moxibustion have the functions of nourishing and strengthening the primordial qi and preventing diseases.
(3) Strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish and replenish the posterior organs
Acupuncture has a significant strengthening effect on the spleen and stomach. According to “The Book of Acupuncture for Health Preservation”, it states: “If one has poor appetite, abdominal distension, pale complexion, and is diagnosed as having spleen-kidney disease, one should apply acupuncture to the Zhongwan point.” Applying acupuncture to the Zhongwan point can warm and invigorate the spleen yang, and tonify the middle energizer and vital energy. Regularly applying acupuncture to the Zusanli point not only can enhance the digestive system function, increase the body’s absorption of nutrients, nourish the whole body, but also can achieve the effects of preventing diseases, anti-aging and prolonging life.
(4) Elevate yang energy and strengthen the skin surface
Regular application of moxibustion can raise the yang qi, strengthen the skin surface, resist external pathogens, regulate the meridians and collaterals, and achieve the effects of fitness and disease prevention and treatment.
