Main Technical Content: 1. What is constitution? Constitution refers to the relatively stable physical and psychological characteristics formed during the process of growth and aging due to genetic factors, dietary habits, lifestyle, natural environment, and family environment. Constitutional characteristics vary among individuals and tend to converge within specific groups.

This is why longevity seekers throughout history have prioritized unblocking meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, and balancing yin and yang. 4.

Its mechanism primarily involves localized thermal stimulation. 4.3 The heat from moxibustion causes localized skin congestion, capilla
