How to treat hemangioma with moxibustion

Hemangiomas are relatively common in our lives. They usually occur on the skin surface and limbs, which greatly affects the appearance. If scratched due to itching, they are particularly prone to bacterial infection. Some lighter hemangiomas will disappear on their own during the child's growth and development, while some more serious ones require corresponding treatment. Moxa sticks are often used to treat hemangiomas in clinical practice because they have the effect of unblocking blood stasis.

Capillary hemangiomas are commonly seen on the skin, most commonly on the occipital region, head, face, limbs, and back. Capillary hemangiomas vary in size, which affects appearance and poses a risk of heavy bleeding if ruptured. Parents should pay close attention. If the hemangioma is small, grows slowly, and is not in an exposed area, it may resolve on its own after it stops growing. If the hemangioma grows rapidly and seriously affects the appearance, it should be treated immediately. Treatment methods such as isotope application can be used.

Modern research shows that the methanol extract of the combustion product of mugwort has the effect of scavenging free radicals, and its effect is stronger than the methanol extract of unburned mugwort. The lipid peroxides in the local skin after moxibustion were significantly reduced, and this effect was caused by the combustion products of moxa. The burning of moxa not only does not destroy its effective medicinal ingredients, but enhances them. The antioxidant substances in the products of moxa combustion adhere to the skin at the acupuncture points and penetrate into the body through the heat of moxibustion to take effect.

Everyone knows that moxa sticks have a good effect of removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules. Treating hemangiomas through moxibustion can make the heat penetrate deep into the muscle layer, warming the qi and promoting blood circulation. The purpose of allowing the blood congestion caused by hemangioma to dissipate quickly is achieved. In addition, using moxibustion to maintain body health, because it uses warmth to stimulate acupoints, it can make blood circulation more smooth and achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang. In addition, different moxibustion points have different therapeutic effects, and you can choose according to your actual situation.
