How many acupoints should be moxibustioned in one day

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine health care treatment method that has a relatively large mass base among the people. The frequency and duration of moxibustion treatment should be based on the physical condition and actual condition of different patients. If the moxibustion time is too long or the frequency is too frequent, it may cause fever, thirst, skin itching, inflammation and other symptoms, so it is very necessary to formulate a targeted scientific treatment plan.

Moxibustion is suitable for patients with deficiency syndrome and cold syndrome, such as weakness and fear of cold, long-term illness and diarrhea, cold and pain in joints, cold cough and asthma, wind-cold cold, etc.; it is not suitable for patients with excess syndrome and heat syndrome, such as getting angry, mouth sores, dry and hard stools, short and yellow urine, fever, etc. Young and middle-aged people and men can apply moxibustion more often, while women and children should reduce the amount of moxibustion and use less moxibustion. Pregnant women should not apply moxibustion on the abdomen and lumbar sacral area.

It is not advisable to treat when you are extremely tired, too hungry, thirsty, or drunk, especially people with gastrointestinal diseases should pay more attention to this. It is not suitable to be used when you are in an emotionally unstable state such as extreme sadness, extreme joy, or extreme anger, otherwise the effect of moxibustion will be greatly reduced. The commonly used acupoints for moxibustion are Zusanli, Guanyuan and Shenque. These acupoints can stimulate the body's positive energy, enhance disease resistance and play a health-care role. It is best not to apply moxibustion on the face or genitals to prevent the formation of scars and affect the appearance.

Before doing moxibustion, you should first ask a professional doctor to diagnose and treat your physical condition. It is very necessary to develop a targeted and scientific moxibustion treatment and health care plan. Some people have allergic constitutions, and moxibustion can easily cause skin rashes and itching. For such patients, a step-by-step treatment method should be adopted to allow the body to gradually adapt and then increase the dosage appropriately, and increase the number and time of moxibustion.
