A small needle (acupuncture needle) can have what effect?
What miraculous effects can it have when inserted into acupuncture points after being heated until red?
Today, let us explore and unveil the unique TCM therapy – the miraculous Moxibustion Fire Needle Therapy.
The Moxibustion Fire Needle Therapy is developed from traditional fire needle therapy. By heating the needle to over 100 degrees Celsius and then quickly inserting it into the acupoint, it brings heat into the point, invigorating Qi and blood, warming the meridians, dispelling cold, alleviating pain, and removing stasis. Although it is presented in the form of a needle, it essentially embodies the principles of moxibustion, utilizing strong stimulation to enhance the acupuncture effect.
Therefore, the Moxibustion Fire Needle differs from ordinary acupuncture and moxibustion. Ordinary acupuncture only provides needle stimulation, while moxibustion, although it can reach high temperatures of several hundred degrees at its core, only radiates a surface temperature of several tens of degrees to the skin, gradually accumulating heat beneath the skin for about half an hour to achieve therapeutic effects.
