Moxa to relieve muscle twitching after Winter running
A while back, my husband and I went for a run on a particularly cold day. We were dressed appropriately and have studded runners so the snow and ice isn't an issue. We rounded a corner on our run, and a wall of wind hit up. This was also an uphill portion of our run so our legs were needing to work harder than normal.
Later that night I went to bed and felt a constant twitch in my left quad muscle. I chalked it up to perhaps running low on electrolytes, so in the morning I had a Nuun tablet in my water. And later that day, the twitching returned. And this went on for a number of days.
Then it dawned on me - that twitching is the result of Cold & Wind getting into my quad muscles on that run. So I pulled out my Moxa Box, loaded with 6 moxa sticks, and placed that over my left quad for 20mins until my leg was warm and pink. I repeated that the following day and that twitching has completely subsided.
Sometimes, as practitioners, we forget to try out our own medicine. Moxa is an incredibly effective tool for drawing our wind and cold and increasing blood flow, restoring normal blood movement, and Qi flow - which was exactly what was needed.
I'm sure my neighbours wondered what the plume of smoke was when I opened the garage door to let it escape after both moxa sessions, but it's all in the name of healing.
So if you've got a muscle injury from being exposed to the cold, and especially the wind - come in for a Moxa session and we'll kick it out of your system.
