How many times a day should moxibustion be used?

Moxibustion health care needs to be carried out according to a course of treatment. The therapeutic principle of moxibustion is to stimulate the acupoints through heat, allowing the heat to run through the acupoints and meridians in the body to achieve the purpose of warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals. The treatment time of moxibustion varies according to the condition and physical constitution of the patient. Generally speaking, the duration of moxibustion is once a day, for 5 to 30 minutes. However, the specific acupuncture time depends on the patient's actual condition.

The principle of the length of time for moxibustion is: moxibustion must be applied for a long time to be effective, this refers to chronic diseases. Generally, moxibustion is performed once a day for the first three days, and then once every one day or every two days. Moxibustion treatment can be continued for one month, two months, three months, or even half a year or more than a year. If used for fitness moxibustion, it can be done three to five times a month and used for life, the effect will be better. If it is an acute disease or an occasional illness, sometimes moxibustion is only needed once or twice and that's it. It depends on the need and there is no need to limit the time and frequency. If it is a chronic or stubborn disease, moxibustion can be performed every other day or every three, five or seven days.

You need to concentrate when doing moxibustion. If you are distracted, you can easily burn yourself or even burn things at home. Moreover, concentrating on moxibustion and quietly feeling the heat of moxibustion is more effective than doing other things while doing moxibustion. During the moxibustion process, some people see results quickly, while others take a long time to see results. These are all normal because everyone has different physical conditions, different degrees of illness, and different recovery abilities, all of which directly affect the time it takes for moxibustion to take effect. Therefore, there is no fixed standard for the effectiveness of moxibustion. As long as you persist in moxibustion according to the correct requirements, it will definitely help prevent and cure diseases and strengthen your body.

When it comes to moxibustion health care, you should not only pay attention to the frequency and time, but you should also understand the precautions before and after moxibustion. You should drink plenty of water before and after moxibustion to help eliminate toxins in the body, and do not eat during the moxibustion process.
