Normal life activities depend on the function of qi and blood, and qi circulation leads to blood circulation, while qi stagnation leads to blood stasis. The flow of blood in the meridians is completely driven by "qi", so the circulation of qi leads to smooth blood circulation. However, many reasons may affect qi and blood circulation, such as "cold leads to accumulation of qi, and heat leads to qi disease", which shows that cold and heat have an influence on qi and blood circulation.
Cold qi and astringent blood, slow blood circulation and easy coagulation and illness. Therefore, moxibustion can be used to warm meridians and dispel cold, so that blood can run normally. "Soul Pivot Stabbing True Evil" says, "The blood coagulation in the pulse stops, and the fire of Buddha can be collected." Fire tone is moxibustion. Therefore, moxibustion is very effective in treating arthralgia, diarrhea and other diseases caused by blood stasis and cold.
