Question:
In your answer to questions of course D you advised moxibustion for preventing diseases more then needlind because of the pain. Is it possible to use acupressure instead of needling in this case?
Answer:
I think the real traditional Chinese massage is much better than only the simple acupress!
Besides, moxibustion has the warmth or heat, and the herbal properties as well.
Needling, except the pain, in terms of some people's opinion, is not so convenient on one hand and not really for reinforcing or tonification on the other hand, but there is unanimous opinion that moxibustion IS used for preventing diseases.
