There are several moxibustion methods

I believe many people have done moxibustion in their lives, mainly because moxibustion is very good for relieving mental fatigue and removing dampness. It is best to learn more about the method of moxibustion in life. In life, mothers can improve their babies' body resistance by giving them moxibustion, but mothers must choose the correct acupoints so that the moxibustion can be effective.

In fact, there are five main methods of moxibustion, direct moxibustion, suspended moxibustion, mild moxibustion with a moxibustion device, moxibustion through an object, moxibustion patches, etc. Different acupoints can be selected according to different diseases:

1. Direct moxibustion:

The direct moxibustion method is to use a cone made of moxa, also called a moxa cone, which is placed directly on the acupuncture points and painful areas of the body and then ignited for moxibustion. This method is not widely used anymore because it is difficult for modern people to accept. It is mostly replaced by mild moxibustion.

2. Hanging moxibustion:

The tool used for suspended moxibustion is moxa stick, a stick-shaped moxibustion tool made of moxa coils. It is a moxibustion method in which the burning moxa stick is suspended above the moxibustion site. Generally, the moxa fire is about 3 cm away from the skin. Moxibustion for 5-10 minutes can make the skin feel warm without burning the skin, and the temperature should be until it turns red. The operation methods are divided into three methods: gentle moxibustion, spiral moxibustion, and sparrow pecking moxibustion.

3. Moxibustion with moxibustion device:

The moxibustion device is also called the warm moxibustion device. The most common ones on the market now are copper moxibustion cups, which are also a kind of warm moxibustion therapy. Its advantages are that it can be fixed on the body more conveniently, it saves consumables because there is no need to scrape off the dust, it is milder and less irritating, and produces less moxa smoke.

4. Moxibustion through objects:

Moxibustion through an object is a method of moxibustion by placing something between the skin and the moxa cone. Also known as "interval moxibustion". The items usually used as intervals include ginger moxibustion, garlic moxibustion, salt moxibustion, medicine moxibustion, etc.

5. Moxibustion patch:

With the innovation of technology, there is also a moxibustion patch, which is a new method of moxibustion. Compared with the traditional moxibustion method, the moxibustion patch is more convenient and comfortable, and you don’t have to worry about it falling off when you put it on any acupuncture point. Moreover, moxibustion patches are small and easy to carry, which makes them more popular among people who travel frequently. When you feel tired and uncomfortable, you can take it out and do moxibustion. It is convenient and easy.
