Poor sleep after moxibustion

Moxibustion is a health care method that has emerged in recent years. It belongs to a type of traditional Chinese medicine. Similar to scraping and acupuncture, it regulates the body by stimulating acupoints. Many people buy various items for moxibustion online and then do moxibustion at home. However, many people experience different symptoms in their bodies after moxibustion, and they all wonder if they are moxibustioning the wrong acupoints or if they have more diseases in their bodies. Let me tell you why you have trouble sleeping after moxibustion.

Different reactions after moxibustion represent different diseases:

1. Fever

This symptom usually occurs in people who are doing moxibustion for the first time. It is okay. Just drink more water. You can use a moxibustion scraping cup to scrape the Du meridian and bladder meridian to reduce fever and lower irritability.

2. Diarrhea

Some people have diarrhea, which happens frequently and their stools are extremely smelly. This is also a reaction to expel pathogenic gases. People who have this kind of reaction usually have gastrointestinal problems or should be careful about the possibility of tumors.

3. Frequent urination

Some people urinate a lot after moxibustion, which is also a manifestation of toxin excretion from the urethra. You should drink more water at this time. Don't worry, these phenomena will gradually disappear. Generally, frequent urination after moxibustion mostly indicates that the kidneys and urinary system are not very good, and women may have gynecological problems.

4. Sweating

It is a manifestation of skin detoxification. During moxibustion, you feel sweating, and sweating after moxibustion. This phenomenon may last for several days or longer.

5. Rash

After some people sweat for a period of time, they will begin to develop rashes and hard bumps, which is also a manifestation of detoxification. Generally, if you continue to use moxibustion, the rash will slowly disappear, and the hard bumps will also slowly disappear if you massage while using moxibustion. This is also a phenomenon of skin detoxification.

6. Existing chronic diseases will recur

After moxibustion, when the vital energy gathers in the internal organs, the pathogens will often find a way out by themselves. These ways out are not necessarily designed by us, but are the paths that the pathogens are accustomed to. However, the expulsion of the disease is not subject to our will, it will find a way out by itself.

7. Getting angry

Many people will experience dry mouth and tongue after moxibustion. This is also a reaction of moxibustion. This phenomenon indicates that yin and yang are adjusting, and yang cannot overcome yin. At this time, you should drink more boiled water. At this time, the patient will feel an abnormally dry and sore throat, which is an inevitable symptom when the pathogenic factors (cold pathogens) gradually spread outward (wherever the pathogenic factors are driven out, there will be what Western medicine calls inflammation. At this time, many Chinese medicine experts will think that moxibustion is excessive and will immediately stop treatment, causing the whole effort to fail).

8. Insomnia

There are often symptoms of insomnia after moxibustion. If insomnia occurs after the first moxibustion, it is also a reaction. At this time, insomnia is mostly accompanied by fatigue, weakness, or drowsiness. But after a period of moxibustion, even if you sleep very little, you will not feel tired and weak. Instead, you will feel energetic because of moxibustion. At this time, don't worry about lack of sleep time, and don't deliberately use sleeping pills to make up for enough sleep time. It mainly depends on whether you have enough energy. Moxibustion Zhongwan will quickly improve the function of the spleen.
