What are the benefits and effects of moxibustion on Baihui acupoint?

Moxibustion on Baihui Point mainly has the effects of lifting yang and consolidating qi, opening orifices and calming the spirit, and can treat headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, rectal prolapse, and other conditions. Moxibustion refers to a treatment method of stimulating acupuncture points or specific areas of the human body with moxa sticks or moxa cones made of mugwort leaves to prevent and treat diseases. Moxibustion has the functions of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, promoting the flow of qi and blood, lifting yang and tonifying qi, preventing diseases, and maintaining health. Baihui Point is located on the Governing Vessel meridian, signifying the convergence of yang qi from the Hand-Foot Three Yang meridians and the Governing Vessel meridian. The specific location of Baihui Point is 5 cun directly above the middle of the current hairline on the head, or at the midpoint of the line connecting the tips of both ears when the ears are folded backward. Since Baihui Point is located at the top of the head, with the brain located deep within and closely related to it, Baihui Point is a crucial acupuncture point for regulating brain function. It is also innervated by branches of the great occipital nerve and has anastomosing networks of the left and right superficial temporal arteries and veins, as well as the left and right occipital arteries and veins. Moxibustion on this point can have the effects of lifting yang and consolidating qi, opening orifices and calming the spirit, and is clinically used to treat headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, rectal prolapse, nasal obstruction, fainting, and other conditions. During moxibustion, it is best to feel a warm and swelling sensation at the acupuncture point area, and moxa stick moxibustion is often performed, with scarring moxibustion not recommended. Moxibustion on Baihui Point is beneficial to the body, but it is important to locate the point accurately and control the duration of moxibustion to avoid adverse effects from prolonged moxibustion.
