Chapter 24
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the application of a moxa stick to specific points on the body, which is then burned to provide thermal stimulation.
This therapy offers various benefits, including raising body temperature, promoting blood circulation, and stimulating the corresponding blood vessels, organs, and endocrine glands in the targeted area. These effects can boost immunity.
Moreover, Moxibustion can help alleviate pain, paralysis, and spasms by calming overexcited nerves. Essentially, it acts as a concentrated thermal pack applied to a localized area, commonly used for relieving muscle pain.
In the case of Demian and his glossopharyngeal neuralgia, moxibustion proves to be the perfect solution.
Raciel smiled subtly as he prepared a moxa stick for the session. However, his intention went beyond treating the neuralgia alone.
‘I need to break the curse embedded in that brand.’
As he laid eyes on the brand engraved on Demian’s back, its shape reminded him of the illustration from the novel, ‘Devil Sword Emperor.’
Suddenly, the novel’s content resurfaced in Raciel’s mind.
