Where should I apply moxibustion for Qi deficiency? People who are most suitable for moxibustion

People with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are more suitable for moxibustion therapy. Most of the sick people have a yang deficiency constitution. Mugwort is warm in nature and is a purely yang substance. Moxibustion can warm the meridians, eliminate cold and dampness, and replenish the body's yang energy. So for whom is moxibustion most suitable? Where is the best place for moxibustion?

Moxibustion is most suitable for people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency

Like other Chinese medicine treatments, moxibustion also has its indications, and not everyone can use it casually. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moxibustion itself can replenish yang energy and is suitable for people with yang and qi deficiency. If your physical condition is not right, random moxibustion can easily cause problems. People who are not suitable for moxibustion may experience symptoms such as hotness all over the body and flushed face if they use moxibustion. Therefore, when doing moxibustion at home, it is best to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose your physical condition first and then perform moxibustion under the guidance of a Chinese medicine doctor.

The distance of moxibustion is based on skin sensation, and there is no fixed optimal time.

Many people don't know how far the moxa stick should be kept from the acupuncture points or skin during moxibustion. If the distance is too far, the force will not be enough and the effect of moxibustion cannot be exerted. If the distance is too close, it will easily burn the skin. The best distance for moxibustion is based on the feeling of human skin.

The temperature of the moxa stick is not high when it is just lit. At this time, you can move it a little closer, keeping a distance of 1 to 2 centimeters between the moxa stick and the skin. As the moxa stick burns more fully and the temperature rises, you should keep a little further away, about 2 to 3 centimeters. This is the only way to achieve the best results.

Moxibustion at Guanyuan and Qihai is the best for replenishing Yang

Moxibustion is a part of acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on the theory of acupoints and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, and moxibustion is no exception. Some people have no idea about meridians and acupoints when performing moxibustion, and simply apply moxibustion wherever they feel uncomfortable. In fact, Chinese medicine experts point out that although this has a certain effect, it is still very effective for some acute or short-course diseases and emergency situations. However, for most chronic diseases and long-term illnesses, it is far from enough to just know where the pain is and apply moxibustion there.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses moxibustion to replenish yang energy, and the two most commonly used acupoints are Guanyuan and Qihai. Both acupoints are located in the abdomen. The Guanyuan point is the distance four fingers below the navel. The Qihai point is exactly halfway between Guanyuan and the navel. If these two acupoints are warmed, the effect of warming the yang will be very good.
