In the heart of Hainan’s Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, an ancient healing art is drawing the attention of a new generation. Fire dragon moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy, is not only providing health benefits but also connecting people to centuries-old wellness practices.
At the Boao Super Hospital, both young and old are embracing this unique therapy. Fire dragon moxibustion involves the application of heated mugwort and ginger to stimulate healing and improve circulation. The warmth and natural herbs are believed to alleviate various ailments, from muscle pain to digestive issues.
“I was curious about TCM and wanted to try something that combines tradition with modern healthcare,” says Li Wei, a 22-year-old student visiting the pilot zone. “The experience was relaxing and revitalizing.”
The pilot zone was established to promote international medical tourism, focusing on advanced medical treatments and traditional healing methods like TCM. Fire dragon moxibustion stands out as a symbol of China’s rich cultural heritage merging with contemporary wellness trends.
For many visitors, it’s more than just a therapy—it’s an immersion into a holistic approach to health that values balance and harmony. As TCM therapies gain popularity worldwide, places like Boao Lecheng are at the forefront of making these ancient practices accessible to all.
Whether seeking relief from physical discomfort or exploring new paths to well-being, fire dragon moxibustion offers a unique journey into the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.
