How does Moxibustion benefit us during Grain in Ear?
芒种艾灸养生之用
Due to the increase in humidity and heat during the Grain in Ear period, there is a higher risk for digestive ailments. Thus it is recommended to strengthen the Stomach and expel the cold with moxibustion therapy. It is especially effective for individuals with a cold body constitute and those who have the tendency to suffer from digestive ailments during winter season.
此时随着炎热与湿气的增加，容易造成脾胃湿困，使人感到食欲不佳、精神困倦。因此，我们建议使用艾灸保健，在芒种期间和胃健脾，尤其是对胃寒者以及常年在冬季时期犯胃病的人群，功效格外显著。
