How long does moxibustion last?

When you first do moxibustion, the time should not be too long. Only after your body gradually adapts to it can you slowly increase the dosage. Moxibustion is a method of treating diseases with a long history. There are records of moxibustion treating diseases in my country since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This treatment method has been proven to be effective over the past 2,000 years. So how long does a moxibustion session last? Please see the introduction below.

Generally speaking, moxibustion is performed once a day, each time for 20 minutes, and a course of treatment is about one week. It should be noted that when doing moxibustion, care should be taken to avoid burns. The skin should be kept at a certain distance from the body, not too close to avoid burns. Generally, a slight burning sensation is felt locally. Another thing to note is that pregnant women should not use moxibustion on their lower abdomen, and moxibustion is prohibited on their face. You should concentrate when doing moxibustion.

Each moxibustion session usually lasts thirty minutes. If you have enough time every day, you can do it 1-2 times. Be careful not to get burned locally. What you need to pay attention to is to learn some Chinese medicine acupoints so that you can treat various body discomforts through understanding the acupoints. The length of a moxibustion session is more related to your purpose of moxibustion. If your purpose is health care, then we only need to do moxibustion for 15-20 minutes; if our purpose is to treat diseases, then we need to analyze the moxibustion time according to the specific disease. If it is for treating diseases, we can extend the moxibustion time a little longer each time, 30 minutes is best. But of course, if it is a problem that has lasted for decades, we can extend the time by 40-50 minutes. For common diseases, we only need 30 minutes of moxibustion to cure them.

When doing moxibustion, you must not only manage the time well, but also be patient during the treatment process. Do not rush for success, because if you want to achieve very ideal results with moxibustion, it often takes a period of time. If you want to use moxibustion to maintain your health, you must persist in doing it. In addition, please note that if you are suffering from insomnia, you can do moxibustion at night, which will help promote sleep.
