Recently, on the streets of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, some moxibustion halls will gather many elderly people every day, and everyone will queue up early to experience a stool that claims to change the internal circulation of the body and even "cure all diseases". What kind of stool is so magical?
Elderly people line up to experience moxibustion stools
Merchants claim to be inviolable after use
Before 9 a.m., the first experience of the moxibustion hall was over, and the staff said that every day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a total of six experiences, each 40 minutes. It is best to make an appointment a few hours in advance.
A moxibustion hall staff: I have to queue up, there are 35 people in it.
Subsequently, the staff coordinated two positions for the reporter. In the 20-square-meter room, there are nearly 40 elderly people to experience the moxibustion stool, and from the perspective of everyone's proficiency in operation, they are already old customers of the experience.
After the power is turned on, the reporter felt the heat coming from the hips and waist, and the staff said that today to catch up with the company to do activities, each experiencer can receive a box of small cans of mugwort for free, which is much more effective than the usual six experiences to share a copy of moxa.
At the same time as the experience, the TV in front of the room began to broadcast a health lecture related to moxibustion, and the keynote speaker was the president of the moxibustion hall headquarters.
The speaker of a lecture in a moxibustion hall: Everyone must remember that the way to be good for children is not necessarily how much money to leave for them and how many houses to keep. In fact, we should protect ourselves and take good care of ourselves in order to reassure them.
Such an opening was recognized by the elderly, and then the keynote speaker began to introduce that insisting on sitting on the moxibustion stool every day can improve the yang of the body, and then achieve "no invasion of all diseases".
Lecture speaker of a moxibustion hall: It is helpful for heart failure, it can enhance the vitality of the heart; conditioning spleen deficiency can promote digestion; conditioning lung deficiency can enhance lung dynamics.
The "curative effect" of the moxibustion stool spread more and more
It can even cure the new crown
"After listening to the introduction of the main speaker, I feel that this moxibustion stool is really quite magical." However, when the reporter asked the staff in the store to verify whether the moxibustion stool could really cure the disease, the other party appeared to be very cautious, saying that moxibustion was to adjust the internal circulation of the body and ultimately achieve the effect of preventing diseases. But among the old people who experienced it, the reporter heard a different answer.
Experiencer: Try it, mugwort enters the body nodules. Just now there was a child with diabetes, sitting for a while, diabetes dropped by two blocks, very happy, had to buy a machine. There is also a long time without having children, do not know what the disease, people come to sit for a while, three months pregnant annunciation came.
When the reporter asked about the price of moxibustion stools, the old man said that usually a stool costs more than 7900 yuan, not including the supporting use of moxa. But recently the company engaged in activities, each stool discount is only 5290 yuan, and give away five years of moxa. Nearly 70 elderly people in this museum, including them, have participated in the group purchase. It is said that this is the last time the company will do an activity, because the moxibustion stool is too popular, and there is a shortage of wormwood resources.
The staff euphemistically revealed that they are willing to help reporters apply with the company and also enjoy the group purchase price. Subsequently, the reporter proposed that he wanted to see the user's sharing and verify the therapeutic effect of the moxibustion stool.
Reporter: Is this a health care device?
A moxibustion hall staff: moxibustion is curative, at the end of 2019, the beginning of 2020, the new crown virus outbreak, Jiangxi No. 1 Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital with moxibustion treatment, at that time the 29 people admitted to the hospital did not die.
"Moxibustion stool cures diseases"
Cases of suspected false propaganda have been filed
What is the use of moxibustion stools? Can it really cure the disease? The reporter came to the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau to understand the situation.
The staff of the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau entered the product name on the official website of the State Drug Administration, and the query showed that there was no relevant information about the moxibustion stool.
Zhang Gong, deputy director of the Price Supervision and Competition Department of the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau in Liaoning Province: Regular medical devices will definitely have a production license and registration certificate for medical devices on the outer packaging and on the brand-name label. These two numbers are fully available on the website of the State Drug Administration. If it is a medical device, involving its publicity, then when we are approved and filed by the state, we will also clearly mark the scope of application of the medical device. If it exceeds its labeling range, it is suspected of false propaganda and exaggerated propaganda.
At present, the Shenyang market supervision and management department has filed a case to investigate the moxibustion hall suspected of false propaganda and exaggerated publicity, and at the same time inspected the elderly health experience venues throughout the city.
Zhang Gong: In the process of investigation and handling, it will be found that some products have functions such as heating and humidification, and the elderly feel very comfortable after sitting on it, and their mood will become better, and the indicators of the body may develop in a good direction. But this is by no means an indicator of the treatment of diseases, and everyone must pay attention to them.
Generally speaking, moxibustion is to achieve the therapeutic effect of disease prevention and health care through the medicinal properties and fire fumigation of the corresponding acupuncture points of wormwood, but not all groups of people are suitable.
