How does Moxibustion benefit us during White Dew?
白露艾灸养生之用
White Dew is a period when the difference in temperature between the day and night increases. It is easy to catch a cold if one is not aware of the changes. It is recommended to use moxibustion therapy to nourish the lungs (which means to strengthen the respiratory system which is the first line defense of the body).
白露时期，日夜温差逐渐增加。若不注意此变化，将是个容易伤风感冒的时节。建议使用艾灸疗法养肺润燥，增强呼吸系统的功能（强化身体的第一道防线）。
