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. The Home for the Elderly recommends several acupoints suitable for Yin deficiency!
