Stomach discomfort after moxibustion

Why do I feel stomach discomfort after moxibustion?

Moxibustion precautions

1. Pay attention to the cold, keep warm, and be careful not to touch cold water during moxibustion, especially in winter.

2. Don't get angry during moxibustion. If you get angry, the qi will block the meridians and the moxibustion will not work. On the contrary, it will aggravate the stagnation of qi and blood.

3. Do not do moxibustion when you are very hungry or full. Moxibustion when you are hungry may cause dizziness, while moxibustion when you are too full will slow down the circulation of qi and blood and cause abdominal distension.

4. People with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat during moxibustion. They can eat half an hour after moxibustion.

6. You can take a warm bath before moxibustion, and take a hot bath half an hour after moxibustion, which should be slightly hotter than the skin temperature.

7. Some people want to soak their feet while doing moxibustion, which can save time. You can soak your feet in hot water with the water temperature higher than 50 degrees.

8. People who are doing moxibustion for the first time must learn to gradually adapt to the heat and gradually add moxibustion tools. Don't add too much at once, as the body will not be able to bear it and will feel too dry.
