Effects of moxibustion on Zusanli

Moxibustion is one of the therapies in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. It uses moxa sticks to apply heat to specific acupuncture points on the body to mobilize the circulation of qi and blood in the body and adjust the energy in the body to achieve the effect of treating or regulating the body. Because moxibustion is a kind of continuous hot compress, and the body cannot be unresponsive to external stimuli. At this time, the changes in the body after moxibustion actually reflect the body's condition. Take the most common moxibustion Zusanli acupoint as an example. Zusanli acupoint is one of the important acupoints of our stomach meridian. If the stomach meridian is too cold, the disease-eliminating reaction of moxibustion Zusanli acupoint will be shown through gastrointestinal related reactions, such as diarrhea, abdominal distension and pain, nausea and vomiting. This reaction is normal. Generally speaking, the reaction of moxibustion Zusanli acupoint will disappear on its own as long as you rest for 1 to 2 days.

So what will happen if you moxibustion other acupoints?

In fact, this depends on each person's physical condition. Some people have sufficient qi and blood. At this time, even if the body is very cold, their own qi and blood can be circulated and digested in time, and the relative reaction will be relatively small. On the contrary, if some people lack qi and blood, the body may cause the original condition to worsen under the stimulation of moxibustion.
