When is the best time for moxibustion?

In fact, moxibustion has no special fixed time. You can moxibustion at any time. It can be broken sooner or later. Before and after meals, as long as you are not too hungry before meals, half an hour to an hour after meals. Too full, too hungry.

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 15-20 minutes, and then moxibustion every other day 10 days is a course of treatment. Children and the elderly need shorter moxibustion time. Moxibustion can be used flexibly for health care. Choosing the time of moxibustion according to your actual situation and comfort does not necessarily require moxibustion for a long time. Generally speaking, the local skin is red, and the time of moxibustion with moxa sticks can be shorter, and the time of moxibustion with moxa sticks or moxibustion pots can be longer, because it is milder.

Regarding seasons, moxibustion pays attention to solar moxibustion, because solar terms are the time when yin and yang alternate. At this time, moxibustion will get twice the result with half the effort. Traditional Chinese medicine health care talks about winter diseases and summer solstice, which means that winter diseases can be traced back to summer, and diseases falling in summer should be recuperated from summer. The east is the time of "one yang rising" in a year, which is most suitable for moxibustion to replenish yang.

Choosing the right time for moxibustion treatment will have a better effect, as follows:

1 For example, moxibustion is used to treat insomnia. Insomnia is often because you can't sleep at night, so if you choose moxibustion at night, it will play a better role in the treatment of diseases;

2, winter disease is treated in summer, and when the yang is strong in the dog days, the dog days are used to treat deficiency-cold diseases, especially respiratory diseases. At this time, some doctors also advocated that moxibustion should be carried out at the same time in the part of Sanfutie, which can strengthen the warming meridian and dispelling cold of Sanfutie. Do it when the sun is shining, so it's best to choose day and morning.
