Can moxibustion cure dizziness?

There are many reasons for dizziness. Do not blindly use moxibustion to treat it when you feel dizzy. If it is not treated properly, it will make the condition worse. Common causes of dizziness may be psychological reasons, or they may be caused by various problems such as diet, trauma, physical weakness, and illness. Therefore, if you feel dizzy and it happens frequently, it is extremely necessary to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

Treat vertigo with moxibustion on the acupoints. Dizziness, blacking out or blurred vision, and a feeling that one or the scenery is spinning and swaying. When vertigo occurs, people should immediately stop everything and rest. People who often feel dizzy may try moxibustion therapy. Moxibustion is used on acupuncture points on the body to relieve this symptom. If there are blisters the size of rice grains on the moxibustion area, no special treatment is required. They will be absorbed and form scabs on their own after more than ten days, and the scabs will fall off on their own.

For vertigo, moxibustion can be used as a treatment method. When performing moxibustion treatment, select Baihui, Zusanli, Fengchi, and Shenque points. Ask the patient to take a comfortable prone position, cut the hair within 1 cm around the Baihui and Fengchi acupoints, make the moxa into a column the size of a broad bean, place it on the acupoint, and light the incense stick from the top to make it spontaneously combust. When the patient feels a warm sensation, the operator will extinguish the fire of the moxa stick with a moist gauze, and then place another moxa stick on the acupuncture point and perform the treatment as above. Repeat the treatment until the patient feels a warm sensation at the Baihui acupoint and the heat penetrates into the brain and is discharged. Patients can apply moxa sticks to gently moxibustion the Zusanli and Shenque points at home, for 15 minutes at each point, once a day, for 5 consecutive times as a course of treatment.

Although moxibustion has a certain therapeutic effect on dizziness, it does not mean that all dizziness can be treated by moxibustion. For example, if a person suffers from dizziness due to being in a bad mood for a long time, in this case, if the bad mood is not improved, even if more moxibustion is done, it will not be effective in treating the dizziness.
