Can moxibustion cure internal heat?

Sometimes we may do moxibustion for a long time, and then we get a sore throat, small bubbles appear in the mouth, or our mouth and nose feel dry. If it is a mild case of internal heat caused by moxibustion, there is no need to worry. As the moxibustion treatment continues, the symptoms of internal heat will disappear. If the internal heat is severe, you need to stop moxibustion appropriately and let the doctor deal with it. Here we will introduce what to do if you get a sore throat due to moxibustion.

You can continue to do moxibustion if you get a sore throat. This is only a stage. After this stage, you will adapt to the symptoms of a sore throat and they will gradually ease or disappear (please use this method with caution). You can stop moxibustion. After a few days, the symptoms of getting angry will improve. For some people, the residual fire from moxibustion goes to their heads, which manifests as pimples on the head and face, or dry mouth, mouth ulcers, etc. At this time, I like to use pricking and bloodletting. I can do it at the Dazhui point, or at the tip of the ear, or at the Hegu point. Use a disposable pricking needle to prick the Dazhui point 3-4 times, and then apply cupping. Depending on the amount of bleeding, if there is a lot of bleeding, one or two times can solve the problem of getting angry.

If the amount of bleeding is less than 2 ml, bloodletting can be done every other day. 3-5 times can solve the problem of getting angry. Then you must think that bloodletting is very mysterious, or even a little afraid. In fact, the tip of the pricking needle is very short. It is only enough to pierce the skin and will not cause any harm to the internal organs. According to the experience of some doctors who have been working in clinical practice for more than 40 years, bloodletting should be safe and can be performed by ordinary people themselves.

In addition, it should be noted that some people may suffer from severe internal heat from moxibustion, such as feeling dizzy or toothache, or having serious internal heat symptoms such as nosebleeds or even sore throat during moxibustion. When these problems occur, be sure to stop moxibustion immediately and inform your doctor of your condition so that the doctor can take appropriate treatment measures.
