指の怪我　

finger injuries

指の怪我、「すり傷」「切り傷」においては、切口をふさぐことはできませんが、お灸をすることで、炎症を鎮めて傷がふさがりやすい状態を作ることはできます。傷の周囲にお灸を行うと、翌朝には腫れが引き、傷がふさがりやすいです。お灸をすると早くに血が止まり、傷の治りが早くなり、腫れを速やかに引かせることができます。また、お灸により患部が温められると、患部の周辺の血管が拡張して血行が促進され免疫向上効果が上がり、感染症を防ぎます。お灸をすることによって身体が高温の刺激をストレスに感じることで、ストレスから身を守ろうとして白血球が増加し、免疫力が増すためです。

In the case of injuries, "grazes" and "cuts," it is not possible to close the cut, but moxibustion can calm down the inflammation and make it easier to close the wound. If moxibustion is performed around the wound, the swelling will go down the next morning and the wound will easily close up. Moxibustion can stop the blood early, speed up the healing of the wound, and make the swelling go down quickly. In addition, when the affected area is heated by moxibustion, the blood vessels around the affected area are dilated and blood circulation is promoted, which improves immunity and prevents infection. This is because the body feels the stress of high temperature stimulation by moxibustion, and white blood cells increase to protect itself from the stress, and immunity is increased.
