How does Moxibustion benefit us during Minor Snow?
小雪艾灸养生之用
Minor Snow is period of slowing down and continues to prepare for hibernation. In addition to intake of tonics in our diet, it is recommended to add moxibustion therapy as an external therapy.
小雪时期，万物逐渐失去生机，是收敛、存藏的时节。膳食进补之上，也建议配合使用艾灸疗法调理身体，加强补益效果。
