How long does moxibustion take?

Generally speaking, when we need to choose to treat diseases through moxibustion, the moxibustion time should be slightly shorter at the beginning, and then gradually increase the moxibustion time, and it is best to do moxibustion in the summer. It should also be noted that some friends may have trouble sleeping, so it is best not to do moxibustion before going to bed at night, otherwise the quality of sleep at night may deteriorate after moxibustion. Let me tell you how long moxibustion actually takes.

We need to analyze according to the situation. If the physical symptoms are more serious, then we can do the moxibustion for a longer period of time, about once or twice a day, but the prerequisite is that your body can bear it! You should keep a good attitude when doing moxibustion. After all, moxibustion is a chronic conditioning process.

If a certain disease has troubled us for many years, that is, a chronic disease, the author thinks that when you first start moxibustion, you should take it slow and pay attention to gradual progress. At the beginning, you can moxibustion every day for about half a month, that is, fifteen days, and then take a break for two days, and then moxibustion every day. If you feel much better after moxibustion in the first half of the month, or you don’t have enough time, you can choose to moxibustion every other day, or two to three times a week. If moxibustion causes getting angry, you can moxibustion the Yongquan acupoint to guide the fire downward, or drink more water.

If you are doing moxibustion simply for health care, then choose a few tonic acupoints, such as Zhongwan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao, and moxibustion for about half an hour to forty minutes each time. If you persist in doing moxibustion, you will slowly feel the effect.

It should be noted here that if it is the first time to perform moxibustion, not only the treatment time should be shortened appropriately, but the amount of moxibustion should also be reduced appropriately. In the beginning, small moxa sticks should be used for moxibustion treatment, and then gradually transition to using large moxa sticks for moxibustion treatment. Moxibustion is a natural therapy with a long history in my country. It is a good method of health care and disease treatment.
