Can moxibustion be used to treat Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire?

Moxibustion is a very good way to maintain health, but some people have misunderstandings about moxibustion. They all think that people with Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire cannot use moxibustion. The reason for this misunderstanding is that people do not know enough about the symptoms of Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, which leads to the inability to judge Yin deficiency. In fact, moxibustion has a very good effect in regulating Yin and Yang. So let's see if people with Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire can use moxibustion?

First, can moxibustion be used for Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire ? In fact, moxibustion can be adjusted in both directions. People with yin deficiency may suffer from severe internal heat during moxibustion, or even have rounds of internal heat symptoms. As the moxibustion deepens, it will help you improve your Yin deficiency and thus balance your Yin and Yang. Therefore, most people with yin deficiency are suitable for moxibustion. First, you need to moxibustion the middle and lower parts of the body, and then moxibustion the upper part of the body. After the moxibustion is unblocked and the middle qi is sufficient, the fire can be reduced.

Second, the characteristics of Yin deficiency constitution are insufficient Yin blood , with symptoms of heat; emaciation, flushed face, dry mouth and throat, irritability, hot hands and feet, lack of sleep, dry stool, yellow urine, intolerance to spring and summer, preference for cold drinks, thin and rapid pulse, and red tongue with little coating. Or accompanied by dry cough with little sputum, hot flashes and night sweats (lung yin deficiency); or palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia and nightmares (heart yin deficiency); or back pain, dizziness, tinnitus, spermatorrhea in men and scanty menstruation in women (kidney yin deficiency); or side pain and blurred vision (liver yin deficiency).

Can moxibustion be used to treat Yin deficiency and excessive fire ? Yes. Moxibustion treatment: Zhongwan point, navel, Sanyinjiao point, Yongquan point, Taixi point, and Taichong point. Moxibustion at Yongquan acupoint can nourish yin and reduce fire, calm the mind and soothe the nerves, have the effect of guiding fire back to the origin, and can also replenish kidney essence; moxibustion at Sanyinjiao can strengthen the spleen and stomach, eliminate dampness, soothe the liver and benefit the kidneys, and regulate menstrual blood. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" says: "Sanyinjiao and Taixi replenish the body's original yin. If water is abundant, the pot will not boil. Therefore, the classics say: Strengthen the master of water to treat sunlight." After insisting on moxibustion on the above acupoints for a period of time, your mouth will be filled with saliva! For the three acupoints of "Yongquan, Taixi and Taichong", it is best to soak your feet in mugwort at night. After soaking your feet, massage the three acupoints. This is very helpful for nourishing yin and kidney and promoting sleep. If you have Yin deficiency, you can try it slowly first. If you feel you can adapt, you can gradually extend the time and heat of moxibustion. At the beginning, do not apply too many acupoints or too high a temperature. If you feel OK, gradually add acupoints or extend the moxibustion time.
