Under what circumstances is moxibustion better?

Moxibustion is now a very common method of health preservation. Because it is simple and easy, many people will choose moxibustion as this method. My cousin is a Chinese medicine practitioner and often uses acupuncture to help people treat diseases. According to my cousin, moxibustion can treat many diseases as long as it can be used.

A friend of mine has gynecological diseases, probably belonging to cysts. He had just gone to the hospital for an examination. After the examination, he heard that moxibustion was good for his health, so his friend also gave himself moxibustion. About half a month later, he went to check, and those cysts became smaller. Now my friend still insists on moxibustion.

Under what circumstances is moxibustion better? We know that Folium Artemisiae Argyi has the function of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, so it has a very good curative effect on some cold diseases, mainly treating cold with heat, and all cold diseases in the body can be recuperated by moxibustion. At the same time, moxibustion can also be used in many situations, such as abdominal pain, gastrointestinal discomfort, gynecological diseases and so on.

When I gave birth to my baby, I stayed in the hospital for five days before I was discharged because it was a caesarean section. During my stay in hospital, my sister nurse used moxibustion box to help me with moxibustion every day, which shows that moxibustion has a very wide range of functions.

Just now I said that moxibustion is the most effective for cold syndrome, so moxibustion can play a very good role if the hands and feet are cold, the uterus is cold and the stomach is cold.

But moxibustion should also pay attention to some matters? 1. Don't be too greedy

When some people are doing moxibustion, Aleitong reaches other parts of the body, and the body is particularly warm and comfortable, so they are obsessed with this feeling. It will take several hours to do it. In fact, it is not good to do moxibustion for too long. It is difficult for the body to digest and adapt for too long, and it is easy to get angry, which is counterproductive. .

Therefore, you should not be too greedy when doing moxibustion. Although it is sometimes very comfortable, it is best not to moxibustion for more than two hours every day, especially for friends who have just started moxibustion. We should start from a short time and gradually increase the time to let the body have an adaptation process.

2. Don't need to do too many acupoints?

When some people do moxibustion, they always feel uncomfortable here, and they have to do it if they are uncomfortable there. They come and go, and they are all finished, but I heard that the time can't be too long, and each acupoint can only be done for three or two minutes. Actually, it's not necessary If you want to do more acupoints, you can divide them into two or three groups, and do 2-3 acupoints every day, usually no more than 5. Do another set of acupoints next time, and the circulation will be fine. ?

3. Should moxibustion keep warm?

When doing moxibustion, heat is injected into the body, so after moxibustion, you must pay attention to keep warm, don't blow fans, don't blow air conditioners, don't stand in the tuyere, don't drink cold water, drink some hot water properly, and the temperature must be higher than the body temperature.

In fact, there are still many things to pay attention to when doing moxibustion. If you are interested, you'd better know about it before you do it. Blind moxibustion at home is not recommended.
