How does Moxibustion benefit us during Major Snow?
大雪艾灸养生之用
Major Snow is a time when the temperature gradually decreases. In Singapore, we may experience more rainfall thus dampness and cold increases. We can use moxibustion to reduce dampness and warm the body.
大雪时期，气温逐渐下降，新加坡的我们或迎来多雨季，因此是个多湿、寒凉的时节。建议可使用艾灸疗法祛湿、保暖，防止湿邪、寒邪入里。
