What are the precautions after fire therapy?

What is fire therapy? In professional terms, it is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, also known as moxibustion therapy. Of course, this treatment method is only limited to our country, so some people also say that this is a treatment method with national characteristics. Fire therapy is more effective for people with yang deficiency and cold hands and feet, and can promote blood circulation in the body. So, what should we pay attention to after fire therapy?

Precautions

Do not do it on an empty stomach, one hour after a meal, drink plenty of warm water before and after the fire therapy (absolutely do not eat cold rice or drink cold water), do not take a shower for 12 hours after the fire therapy (you can wash your hands and face with warm water at least 6 hours later), you must lie flat on the bed for 45 minutes after the fire therapy, and you can do the fire therapy one year after the operation.

(1) During the operation, the operator should concentrate and avoid soaking up too much liquid medicine on the rubber block. Too much, the patient cannot tolerate it; too little, the fire is insufficient and the therapeutic effect cannot be achieved. The key is to control the amount of medicine liquid and the temperature so that the patient can tolerate it and feel comfortable with the fire therapy. Otherwise, careless operation may easily cause burns.

(2) After the fire therapy is completed, rub the affected area with sheep fat to prevent the heat from leaking outwards, but to penetrate the joints and reach the whole body, warming the internal organs, promoting the flow of qi and blood, and harmonizing the body.

(3) During the fire therapy period, avoid wind and cold, and avoid all cold foods.

(4) Do not use if you have fever, hypertension, hypoglycemia, etc.

Experts remind that fire therapy is not suitable for everyone

Experts say: "Because it is an external therapy, it should not cause too much harm to health as long as it is performed properly." But from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, fire moxibustion is only suitable for people with wind-cold constitution and yang deficiency. For those with heat syndrome and yin deficiency, fire therapy may aggravate internal heat and cause internal heat due to excessive fire in the body. Generally speaking, people who often have hot hands and feet and are afraid of heat suffer from yin deficiency and are definitely not suitable for fire therapy. People with yang deficiency are just the opposite, with cold hands and feet and fear of cold. This type of people can undergo fire moxibustion. In addition, people with sensitive skin, boils, damaged skin, or bleeding diseases (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, purpura, etc.) are not suitable for fire therapy. Experts suggest that people who want to undergo fire therapy should first go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for relevant consultation and have a basic understanding of their own physical condition before doing so.
