What are the effects of moxibustion health care

Moxibustion is a relatively common treatment method in our traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice. It is a relatively common TCM health care method along with acupuncture and scraping. This health care method can effectively achieve the effect of warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals. It has a very good effect on health care, dredging the meridians, and preventing diseases. The medicinal ingredients in the moxa sticks can also adjust the body's yang energy, which is a warm and tonic health care method.

Before using moxibustion, go to a regular hospital to determine whether your physical condition is suitable and listen to the doctor's advice to choose the appropriate moxibustion site, rather than blindly doing moxibustion at home. Moxibustion health care is suitable for people with weak and cold constitutions. For example, moxibustion on Zusanli is effective for cold stomachache, while acupuncture is needed to treat hot stomachache. A weak and cold constitution is generally manifested by a sallow complexion, cold hands and feet, loose and soft stools, fear of wind and cold, etc. People with yin deficiency, hyperactivity of fire, heavy dampness and heat are not suitable for using moxibustion, especially patients with hypertension, who should use moxibustion with caution.

When doing moxibustion at home, you should control the degree and make sure you feel comfortable. If you don't feel better or feel irritated after moxibustion, you need to stop for a while. When doing moxibustion, be careful not to catch cold and do not do moxibustion for a long time in a closed space. Too much smoke can cause nausea and vomiting. Long-term closed moxibustion can also have adverse effects on the respiratory tract. In addition, when doing moxibustion, it is also very important to master the time. During moxibustion, it is best if the skin becomes red and hot, but the time should not exceed two hours.

When doing moxibustion health care, you must pay attention to choosing moisturizing foods in your diet. For example, common white fungus, lily, vegetables and fruits, etc. are all good foods. You should also drink more water to better relieve the phenomenon of dryness and heat after moxibustion. In particular, we should remind everyone that moxibustion treatment should not be performed when the body is extremely tired, drunk or women are menstruating.
