Can I use moxibustion on my temples?

The human temple is located on the edge of the outer corner of the eye. The temple is an important acupuncture point in the human body. It is actually feasible to perform moxibustion on the temple, but it should be noted that proper moxibustion on the temple can relieve eye fatigue and treat headaches, but if moxibustion is performed on the temple frequently, it may cause adverse reactions in the body.

1. First of all, we need to know the specific location of the temple. The temple is in the depression above the extended line of the outer corners of the eyes on both sides of the forehead, and there is one on each side. The method that can be used during moxibustion is gentle moxibustion. The specific method is to hold the lit moxa stick, aim the flaming end at the acupuncture point, keep a distance of 1.5-3 cm from the skin and perform moxibustion until local warmth and comfort appear. You can moxibustion this acupoint for 20 minutes each time, and generally 3-4 times of moxibustion are sufficient.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the temple is an important acupuncture point on the head. Appropriate moxibustion on the temple in daily life can relieve eye fatigue and treat symptoms such as headaches, migraines, toothaches, etc. Especially when headache symptoms occur after the temples are exposed to wind or cold, moxibustion can be used immediately and the effect is very good, because moxibustion can force out local blood stasis, ensure blood circulation in the meridians, and relieve the headache.

3. Here we would also like to remind everyone that the time for moxibustion on the temples should not be too long or too frequent, otherwise it may cause some discomfort symptoms. After the moxibustion is over, you should pay attention to rest more, drink more warm water, eat some light food, and pay special attention to keeping your head warm. Do not go out immediately or be blown directly in the air vent, and do not use cold water to wash your face, so as to avoid the cold wind invading your head again.

The above are the methods and benefits of moxibustion on the temples introduced to you today. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of this knowledge. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you are prone to repeated symptoms such as eye fatigue, headaches, toothaches, etc., you should not always rely on moxibustion treatment. It is best to adopt a comprehensive and comprehensive approach to conditioning and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to better reduce the number of occurrences.
