1. Getting angry after moxibustion, with symptoms such as dry mouth, red and swollen gums, dizziness, etc. Moxibustion is more likely to cause getting angry in autumn and winter. Moxibustion is good at supporting yang. After moxibustion, the yin and yang in the body are temporarily broken, and the yang energy extends upward, which manifests as symptoms of getting angry, which is generally a normal phenomenon.

2. Steam is emitted during moxibustion, and blisters, including water blisters and pus blisters, are formed after moxibustion. Most of them are caused by the expulsion of cold evil after moxibustion to a certain degree. Many of them occur unconsciously after moxibustion (except for accidental burns). When the bubbles burst and the evil is expelled, it means the moxibustion is effective. You can puncture it with a needle and apply moxa sticks on it every day. Moxibustion can kill bacteria and disinfect, promote healing, and generally no bandaging is required. Water may be discharged continuously during this period. The healing time varies from person to person, generally one to two weeks. Do not let the soaked area come into contact with water during this period.

3. The skin becomes extremely itchy during and after moxibustion. If this happens at the beginning of moxibustion, it means that the cold evil is on the body surface. If it happens after a period of moxibustion, it means that the cold evil is deep inside the body. These are all manifestations of the effectiveness of moxibustion and the symptoms can be relieved by persisting in moxibustion.

Spots are more common and are caused by heavy cold and dampness in the body.

Some people will not sleep for a whole day and feel indescribably uncomfortable, but afterwards, most people can feel that the existing problems have improved. Drowsiness is quite common after moxibustion. After moxibustion, yin and yang are re-established, and the positive and negative energy in the body will fight against each other. Sleep can provide a good battlefield and help the body recover. At this time, pay attention to proper rest and do not moxibustion too late at night.

6. Some people urinate a lot, which is also a manifestation of toxins being excreted from the urethra. You should drink more water at this time. It doesn’t matter, these reactions will gradually disappear.
