How to control the amount of moxibustion during moxibustion?

Moxibustion should consider the influence of weather, geography and climate to determine the amount of moxibustion. For example, if the amount of moxibustion is large in winter, it is necessary to dispel cold and remove arthralgia, and help yang to return to Jue; The weather is dry in summer, so moxibustion should be less or light to avoid getting angry and hurting yin. In addition, different ages, constitutions and genders have different ups and downs of Yin and Yang, Qi and blood and their tolerance to moxibustion. If it is moxibustion according to the course of treatment, it is best to continue moxibustion every day for the first three times, and each acupoint lasts for 15~20 minutes, and then moxibustion can be performed every other day, and 10 is 1 course of treatment. Moxibustion for children and the elderly is short, but it must last for a long time. If it is acute or sporadic, sometimes moxibustion will be over once or twice, depending on the need, and there is no need to limit the time and times.

Moxibustion can be used flexibly for health care, and the time of moxibustion can be selected according to your actual situation and comfort. Generally speaking, the time of moxibustion with moxa sticks can be shorter, and the time of moxibustion with a milder moxa moxibustion device or moxibustion pot can be slightly longer. In addition, moxibustion pays attention to solar terms moxibustion, because when the solar terms change, it is the time when the yin and yang of the human body alternate, and moxibustion will have a multiplier effect. If it is a chronic disease or incurable disease, you can moxibustion once every three days, five days and seven days. It should be considered comprehensively according to the specific situation, so it is the same as the dose of medicine, and there is no harm in not being late.

To what extent is moxibustion more appropriate? After moxibustion, you should feel warm and comfortable and reach the depths. I have stopped moxibustion for some time, and I can still feel the residual temperature before I go home. No matter which acupuncture point we moxibustion, we must be "sufficient", and the heat should be able to go deep into the body and reach the lesion directly. According to your own situation, you can moxibustion every other day. Intimate tip: it is best not to cut off the unused moxa sticks, which is wasteful. You can find an empty bottle, put the burning part of the moxa stick directly into the bottle mouth, and it will soon go out. It's easy to ignite next time. Burned moxa ash is also useful. Don't throw it away.
