Ai Jiu is a common method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a popular traditional Chinese therapy. More and more people are starting to use Ai Jiu. Do you know the benefits of Ai Jiu? There are many precautions that first-time Ai Jiu users need to be aware of in order to avoid any negative effects. There are also some contraindications for Ai Jiu that need to be understood.
Benefits of Ai Jiu
1. Improves overall health
Ai Jiu can help improve overall health. If you suffer from chronic diarrhea, skin diseases, asthma, or other conditions, Ai Jiu can help alleviate symptoms and provide relief. If you experience these symptoms in your daily life, Ai Jiu can be used to improve them.
2. Improves bowel habits
Many people may not be aware that Ai Jiu can help improve bowel habits. By consistently practicing Ai Jiu, you can prevent constipation and regulate bowel movements. If you experience diarrhea, Ai Jiu can also help improve the condition. During Ai Jiu, specific acupuncture points like Liangqiu, Zu Liangmen, and Shuifen can be targeted to prevent constipation.
3. Enhances immune function
Studies have shown that many people suffer from chronic fatigue and have a higher risk of developing cancer. These conditions can have a negative impact on overall health. Ai Jiu can be used to improve symptoms and enhance immune function, reducing the harm caused by diseases.
4. Affects the digestive system
Ai Jiu mainly affects the digestive system by altering gastrointestinal activity and digestive enzymes. Experiments have shown that applying Ai Jiu to the Zusanli point in dogs can lead to both excitatory and inhibitory changes in gastrointestinal activity. Therefore, Ai Jiu has a regulating effect on various secretory glands in the human body. For example, it can inhibit excessive gastric secretion in individuals with hypersecretion and promote gastric secretion in those with insufficient secretion. Additionally, Ai Jiu has a positive effect on bile and saliva regulation.
5. Affects the circulatory system
Ai Jiu not only provides a warm and soothing sensation to the area being treated, causing local blood vessels to dilate and promoting blood circulation, but it can also have an impact on the entire body. When performing Ai Jiu on the left Zusanli point using mild heat Ai sticks or ginger-separated moxa cones, changes in local warmth or burning sensations can be sensitively reflected in the volume curve of the index and middle fingers of the right hand.
