How does Moxibustion benefit us during Frost’s Descent?
霜降艾灸养生之用
Frost’s Descent is a transition period from autumn to winter when dampness can be trapped within the body causing water retention or diarrhea. One of the strengths of moxibustion therapy is regulating water in the body.
霜降为秋冬季节交替时期，须预防湿气困伤脾阳而出现水肿或腹泻等症状，而调节人体内的水分正是艾灸疗法的强项之一。
