How does Moxibustion benefit us during Autumn Equinox?
秋分艾灸养生之用
Autumn Equinox signifies a balance of the Yin and Yang energies. During this period, the air is less humid with a decrease in temperature. It is recommended to take precaution of dehydration. Moxibustion therapy using selected acupoints can be useful to regulate the body fluids and restore balance.
秋分昼夜平分，阴阳平衡。此时期的空气较为干燥，气温也稍稍转凉，建议多加注意预防损耗津液。此时在部分穴位进行艾灸疗法可有效的调理与平衡体内津液的分布。
