Affects the autonomic nervous system and immune system

6 surprising effects

1. Balance the autonomic nervous system

The autonomic nervous system is a nerve that works 24 hours a day to regulate the activity of the circulatory, digestive, and respiratory systems. When you are active, the nervous system leans toward the sympathetic nervous system, and when you are sleeping, the nervous system leans toward the parasympathetic nervous system, maintaining a balance. Irregular lifestyles and stress disrupt the balance of the autonomic nervous system, causing various disorders in the body. Moxibustion helps to restore the balance of the autonomic nervous system.

Diseases caused by sympathetic nervous excitement: high blood pressure, cancer, stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel disease, infertility, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune diseases, lower back pain, stiff shoulders, etc.

Diseases caused by parasympathetic nervous system stimulation, such as allergies

2. Boosts hormones and immunity

The autonomic nervous system also affects the immune system. When you are under a lot of stress, the autonomic nervous system becomes disrupted and your immune system weakens. Moxibustion acts on this autonomic nervous system, boosting your immune system. The hot, tingling stimulation of moxibustion also damages cells. This causes the body to try to heal those cells, which in turn boosts your immune system.

3. Relieve pain and inflammation

The warmth of moxibustion increases the number of immune system-activating substances such as white blood cells and lymphocytes and distributes them throughout the body, relieving pain and inflammation. It is also effective for stubborn stiffness and neuralgia that are difficult to treat with massage.

4. Increase red blood cells

The warmth of the moxibustion improves blood circulation and delivers sufficient oxygen to the body. After the treatment, the body feels lighter.

5. Improves metabolism

The warmth of the moxibustion improves blood circulation and promotes the excretion of CO2 and waste products.

6. It makes you feel happy

After moxibustion, the calming serotonin in your brain increases, making you feel happy.

Adjust the heat

In Japanese-style moxibustion, moxa the size of a grain of rice is placed directly on the skin and lit on fire. Moxa is dried mugwort. It is removed before it gets hot, so it only feels hot enough to sting.

In this technique, 3 to 7 sticks of moxa are applied to one acupoint. A total of 50 to 70 sticks of moxa are applied to the whole body.

It works very well.

For people who are sensitive to heat, have sensitive skin, or have children, we offer moxa therapy. In moxa therapy, organic ginger is placed on the skin, and moxa is placed on top of the ginger, so moxa is not placed directly on the skin.

I think you will experience a pleasant warmth.

3000 years of history

Moxibustion was invented in northern China about 3,000 years ago. Of course, moxibustion is also mentioned in the oldest Chinese medical text, the Huangdi Neijing, written over 2,000 years ago. Moxibustion is a medical treatment with a very long history, and it is said that the current form of moxibustion treatment was already complete during this period. It was introduced to Japan around 600 and evolved into a treatment method unique to Japan.

The raw material is mugwort, which grows everywhere in Japan. Mugwort has so many effects that it is called the "Queen of Herbs." The mugwort is dried to make moxa. Treatment is done by placing moxa on 361 acupuncture points on the meridians (14 meridians that run through the body) and on special acupuncture points (over 250 acupuncture points that do not belong to any meridian but have their own unique effects) according to the symptoms.

Remove evil spirits

I treat my patients while feeling their energy, and I think moxibustion also has the effect of removing evil spirits. The image is that the smoke from the moxa rises to the heavens. Also, mysteriously, the smoke from the moxa wraps around the affected parts of the body, just like a dragon.

It's a strange phenomenon.

Why not acupuncture?

There are two reasons why I don't use acupuncture.

The first reason is that I was fascinated by the charm of moxibustion. I use moxibustion on myself and my children, and it has an immediate effect. It is extremely effective in regulating the autonomic nervous system. Moxibustion has a longer history than acupuncture. Treatments with a long history are very effective.

Another reason is that when I do acupuncture, I receive the patient's negative energy, which makes me feel nauseous and heavy on my shoulders. I thought my body couldn't handle it, so I limited myself to moxibustion treatments, but I think moxibustion is as effective as acupuncture, or even more so. For the same reason, I can't do anma massage or shiatsu. Sorry.
