What are the reactions and benefits of moxibustion? Do you know?

Many people know that Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Sometimes we can cure some difficult and complicated diseases by just taking herbs and massaging. So what are the benefits of moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine?

1. Sweating

Sweating is a manifestation of skin detoxification. You will feel sweating during the moxibustion and after the moxibustion. This phenomenon may last for several days or longer.

2. Rash

After some people sweat for a period of time, they will begin to develop rashes and hard bumps, which is also a manifestation of detoxification. Generally, if you continue to apply moxibustion, the rash will slowly disappear, and the hard bumps will also slowly disappear if you massage while applying moxibustion. This is also a phenomenon of skin detoxification.

3. Urinating

Some people urinate frequently after moxibustion, which is also a manifestation of toxin excretion from the urethra. You should drink more water at this time. Don't worry, these phenomena will gradually disappear. Generally, frequent urination after moxibustion indicates that the kidneys and urinary system are not very good, and women may have gynecological problems.

4. Diarrhea

Some people have diarrhea, which happens frequently and their stools are extremely smelly. This is also a reaction to expel pathogenic gases. People who have this kind of reaction usually have gastrointestinal problems or should be careful about the possibility of tumors.

5. Sore throat, toothache, etc.

Some people may have sore throat, toothache, etc. At this time, drink more water or cook some mung bean porridge to drink. If the condition is serious, you can stop moxibustion. After these symptoms are over, continue moxibustion. The above symptoms may still occur. Generally, after repeated several times, there will be no symptoms of getting angry.

6. Fever

This symptom usually occurs in people who are doing moxibustion for the first time. It’s okay. Just drink more water. You can use scraping on the Du meridian and bladder meridian to reduce fever and lower irritability.

7. Existing chronic diseases will recur

After moxibustion, when the vital energy gathers in the internal organs, the pathogenic factors will often find a way out by themselves. These ways out are not necessarily designed by us, but are the paths that the pathogenic factors are accustomed to. However, the expulsion of the disease is not subject to our will, it will find a way out by itself.

8. Dizziness, tinnitus, and vertigo

Some reactions may cause dizziness, tinnitus, and vertigo. If you encounter such reactions, you can stop and rest for a few days. If this reaction takes time to disappear, it will gradually disappear through bloodletting or scraping at the Dazhui point. Some people will experience this reaction 2-3 times before gradually adapting.
