What body type is suitable for moxibustion?

In this case, if moxibustion is done, it will not only fail to have a health care effect, but will cause the body to get inflamed and the body's yang energy to be too strong. People who are weak and sickly are still very weak when their illness has not yet recovered. It is not suitable for moxibustion treatment at this time.
