What are the taboos of moxibustion on Yongquan acupoint?

Moxibustion is widely used among the people in our country. It not only has obvious therapeutic and health-care effects, but is also economical and practical, and has no toxic side effects on the human body. Using moxibustion for health care can significantly improve the circulation of qi and blood and enhance the body's metabolic state. It has a very good health care effect for office workers who are in a sub-healthy state for a long time and middle-aged and elderly people with weak constitutions.

Specifically, moxibustion can be used for many diseases, such as people with high stress, irritability, and insomnia. Long-term moxibustion can also improve blood circulation, dredge meridians, dispel cold and dampness, eliminate toxins, enhance metabolism, and comprehensively regulate obesity, sallow complexion, loose skin, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other problems. Moxibustion on the Yongquan acupoint can improve symptoms in people with hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity, and high blood sugar, and the indicators gradually return to normal.

However, although the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on the Yongquan acupoint is very obvious, it is not suitable for some people. This is because moxibustion uses fire to fumigate, and if you are not careful during the application, it may cause local skin burns. On the other hand, some essence and blood will be consumed in the process of moxibustion, so some parts of the body or some people cannot be moxibustioned. It should not be used if you have acne on the face or body, acute eczema, high fever, or local skin damage. Women should not use moxibustion during pregnancy and menstruation.

For people who are prone to skin allergies, we do not recommend using moxibustion on the Yongquan acupoint to maintain their health. During the moxibustion treatment, the room cannot be ventilated and the air conditioner cannot be turned on in summer. Moxibustion patients should drink more water and pay attention to keeping a calm mood. If there is moisture on the surface of the acupoint during the moxibustion process, don't panic. This is a manifestation of the cold air in the body being discharged from the body and it is harmless to the body.
