How to moxibustion in dog days?

Dog days are a special solar term. If you use moxibustion to regulate your body in this solar term, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

In dog days, Zusanli and Guanyuan points can be selected as moxibustion points, and moxibustion can play a better role in these two points.

Zusanli is located in the anterolateral part of the calf, and there is obvious pain when pressing.

Guanyuan point is in the abdomen. Moxibustion can play a role in regulating the internal organs, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, and regulating qi and blood.

When doing moxibustion, there are still many precautions to be understood:

1, keep warm. Although it is particularly hot in dog days, we should pay attention to keep warm and avoid catching cold during moxibustion, but we should pay attention to the circulation of air and not blow it directly.

2. Don't be casual. Although moxibustion is a very common way now, it can't be done casually. Especially some special parts, such as face and joints, and the parts of great blood vessels.

3. Pay attention to correct nursing. After moxibustion, we must pay attention to correct nursing and local cleaning and drying. If you have local burns during moxibustion, you must pay special attention.
