The mugwort is known as the king of herbs in traditional Chinese medicine and has excellent therapeutic effects. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Mugwort leaves can treat various diseases through moxibustion." The "New Compendium of Materia Medica" further states: "Mugwort leaves are bitter and pungent, with a warm nature when raw and hot when cooked. They possess pure yang properties, can restore depleted yang, regulate the twelve meridians, traverse the three yin meridians, regulate qi and blood, expel cold and dampness, and warm the uterus... Moxibustion with mugwort can penetrate all meridians and treat various diseases."
Many skin problems are caused by internal dysfunction in the body. Many women indulge in cold food and drinks, have irregular eating habits, and may suffer from spleen and stomach damage, resulting in melasma on the face. Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality in white-collar women and women in menopause can cause kidney dysfunction, leading to eye bags, dark spots on the face, and facial swelling.
In response to these common problems, mugwort moxibustion for beauty is a method that first applies moxibustion to the main acupoints on the head (such as temples, Jingming acupoint, Baihui acupoint, Si Bai acupoint, etc.), and then applies moxibustion to acupoints on the body (such as Guanyuan acupoint, Zusanli acupoint, Sanyinjiao acupoint, etc.) to regulate women's body conditions. It can be said to provide "beauty treatment" for the whole body of women.
