How does Moxibustion benefit us during Summer Solstice?
夏至艾灸养生之用
Summer Solstice is a good period to cultivate our Yang energy through moxibustion therapy. It is especially beneficial for individuals who tends to catch a common cold at the end of the year when the temperature drops.
夏至是利用艾灸养我们体内阳气的好时节。尤其是冬季时期容易犯风寒感冒的人群，冬病夏治，建议趁此时提升自身阳气应对年尾。
