When we think of summer, we often picture cold drinks, ice cream, and cooling fans. Heat patches? Usually reserved for the depths of winter, right?
Not so fast.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is actually one of the *best* times to strengthen the body against winter illnesses. This practice is known as “冬病夏治”, or “Treating Winter Illnesses in Summer.” And QiMOXA’s moxibustion heat patches are designed to make this ancient wisdom modern, easy, and effective.
Why Use Moxibustion in Summer?
Moxibustion is a time-tested technique that uses warmth to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians, helping the body rebalance and revitalize. Here’s why using QiMOXA in the warmer months can lead to better health in both summer and winter:
1. Feel Better in Summer
In summer, your body’s energy (qi) tends to stay on the surface. That means your internal organs—especially the spleen and stomach—often receive less support. It’s no wonder many people experience poor appetite, bloating, or even diarrhea in hot weather.
QiMOXA’s moxibustion heat patch helps warm and strengthen digestive energy, keeping your gut happier and more balanced. It’s an easy way to support your health when your system needs it most.
2. Prepare for a Healthier Winter
Have you noticed that pain, fatigue, and colds hit harder in winter? That’s because the body naturally has less available energy during the colder months—and cold, damp conditions can worsen chronic imbalances.
In ancient times, practitioners used moxibustion in summer to fortify the body while energy was abundant. When applied in summer, the heat penetrates the superficial meridians (which are more open) and helps dispel cold and dampness, laying the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient winter.
How to Use QiMOXA Heat Patch
Want to try it for yourself? Here are two simple ways to get started:
* CV12 (middle of the upper abdomen): Boosts stomach qi and aids digestion.
* GV4 (lower back): Supports kidney energy to increase vitality and reduce daytime fatigue.
*Note: The herbal moxa patch may have a natural scent. It will soften the aroma after adding the essential oil inside the bottle.
