Moxibustion therapy is an external treatment method that takes moxa as the main raw material and places it on acupoints or diseased parts for burning and fuming after being lit. It is an external treatment method to prevent and treat diseases through warm stimulation and drug action. The main effects of moxibustion include the following aspects:
1. Enhance blood circulation and lymphatic circulation: it can make local skin congestion, capillary expansion, enhance regional blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, alleviate and eliminate problems like smooth muscle spasm. Besides, it can cause the diffusion of inhibitory substances in the cerebral cortex, reduce the excitability of the nervous system, and produce a sedative and analgesic role.
2. Treat certain diseases: moxibustion is applicable for various emergencies, acute disease, severe disease treatment and rescue. And it also can be used for deficiency, or chronic conditions, such as nourishing and conditioning. Hundreds of diseases such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, skin, pediatrics, and bone injury can be treated with moxibustion, and the curative effect is also very obvious.
3. Regulate immune function: Many treatments of moxibustion are achieved by regulating the immune function of the human body, which has the effect of two-way conditioning.
4. Dispel dampness and disperse cold, dredge collaterals and relieve pain: The heat of moxibustion can pass through the muscle layer to the downward Qi, and has the effects of warming the meridian, dispersing cold, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. It is effective for diseases such as rheumatism, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, epigastric pain, cold hernia, abdominal pain, diarrhea and dysentery.
So moxibustion is effective for the treatment of chronic epididymitis.
Besides the methods of moxibustion, what do common methods still treat chronic epididymitis?
