Many friends are very interested in moxibustion, in the hands of moxibustion before you need to understand some of the notes, I based on the teacher's lecture information, but also access to relevant information, organized as follows.

"Hunger point snow" cloud: "Where men and women, old and young, false real cold and hot, light and heavy far and near, nothing is not suitable, where the deep chronic diseases, non-pharmaceutical can be removed, must borrow the fire to pull out of the work."

Meaning: men and women, young and old, hot and cold are suitable for moxibustion.

But the most suitable for moxibustion is the evidence of cold, solid heat to be cautious.

If: our tongue is thin, red, dry, cracked; temper, restless, talkative, like to move, dry eyes, dry stools, menstruation, bright red ..... Such moxa friends should take fewer points, favor the points below the navel, moxibustion time should be short, and even more should be done across the ginger moxibustion, along with abdominal pushing and tapping the feet. Even do a period of time after the abdominal push, then moxibustion, so instead of the effect is good.

It is best not to turn on the air conditioning when moxibustion! But we can turn on the air conditioning before moxibustion, the temperature of the room down, and then moxibustion! If conditions allow, before moxibustion, turn on the air conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom, and when the temperature of the room drops, turn off the bedroom air conditioning and do moxibustion in the bedroom.

Three days, the human body more by the outside of the invasion of wind, cold and moisture; moxibustion, pores open, tendons and veins, if immediately into the air-conditioned room or outdoor, wind, cold and moisture will be easy to invade the body. After moxibustion, we use a dry towel to wipe the moxibustion parts of a few times or hand rub a few times, pat a few times, which is called sealing points, that is, to close the pores, not to be invaded by wind, cold and damp.

After moxibustion, the blood circulation accelerated, this time we can be confused a best, to help the blood to calm down, beneficial to the health of the heart.

"Thousand Gold Formula" recorded: "Where moxibustion when the first yang and then yin, the first left and then right, the first up and then down."

That is, the first back, after the chest and abdomen, first head and body, after the limbs, in turn. Take it from the yang lead yin without the evils of hyperactivity, if the last moxibustion head and face, there may be: face hot, dry throat, dry mouth sequelae or uncomfortable feeling.

Eleven, moxibustion and cupping, patting and stretching, the order of movement

If the moxibustion before the first exercise, patting and stretching, yoga, gua sha, cupping and then moxibustion is best. The essence of moxibustion treatment and health care is still to dredge the meridians, these actions in front of the original is to dredge the meridians, give moxibustion a great help!

The foot can not be moxibustion at the same time, you can soak your feet after moxibustion.

Moxibustion 2 hours before washing hands with warm water, 4 hours before bathing. Because of the heat effect of moxibustion, the body surface pores open to the maximum, immediately bath and wind, will make the wind and cold to take advantage of the situation, as if you open the door to the wind and cold to welcome in the same. Then the work of moxibustion will be in vain. You can take a shower and dry your body before moxibustion.

Thirteen, empty stomach can moxibustion?

Too hungry, too full, over fatigue is best not to moxibustion. 40 minutes after moxibustion and then eat; 40 minutes after eating and then moxibustion. Get up in the morning a little hungry, then you can eat a few cookies, small half a steamed bun and then moxibustion.

XIV, smoke

Certain infectious diseases, high fever, coma, during a stroke, or extreme physical exhaustion, thin bones and other contraindications to moxibustion.

XVII, choose quality assurance of moxa sticks

Many of the production of shoddy moxa sticks, impurities, particles and the whole of the leaf is very much, coupled with the production of flimsy, the combustion process is very easy to fall off the ash, and even the whole head of the fire fell down on the body, scalding the skin.

In addition, the use of such moxa moxibustion, itself damage to the meridians, injury to the skin, so be careful to choose moxa, do not want to harm the body at the expense of cheap.

The most basic criteria for choosing moxa: no impurity particles; must be made of moxa velvet; try to choose a tightly rolled moxa stick.

Eighteen, the correct way to extinguish moxa

You can prepare a stainless steel water cup, tea box, tin bucket, etc., moxa finished, put into the tool, cover the lid, smothered for 5-10 minutes, so that the moxa can be completely extinguished.

Some friends simply douse it with water and put it away casually, which is a very dangerous detail, and the possibility of moxa rekindling is very high. Ai, moxa belongs to the flammable, even if you can not see the slightest smoke, moxa inside may still be in the weak combustion, so do not simply quench the matter with water.

Nineteen, obsessed with smokeless moxa, electronic moxibustion

Ordinary moxa effect is good, but the smoke is big, slightly choking, many people can not stand, so turn to use smokeless moxa and electronic moxibustion. Smokeless moxibustion, electronic moxibustion is not unavailable, but try to use less. Because of the normal moxa, its fire from the sun, its nature to just, and only have this effect, other like mahogany, pear wood, etc. are not this effect, so there is "eight wood fire is not desirable".

The fire of eight wood is not yet desirable, and smokeless moxibustion belongs to the charcoal fire, charcoal fire is effective for individual diseases, but its own is hurt, consume Yin blood. Similarly, electronic moxibustion is not as effective as traditional moxibustion.

Twenty, halfway

Many people often because of the moxibustion for a period of time after the response is not much and confidence shaken. In fact, we should understand that the disease is serious, the depth of the disease is after a long time from the quantitative to qualitative process, with moxibustion conditioning also need a process from unhealthy to healthy, need a period of time to see the effect of conditioning.

Mencius once said: "seven years of illness, when seeking three years of moxa," which indicates that the treatment of disease, not only the moxa leaves to be old, and the treatment time to be long, so as to get rid of the root of the disease.

So, when you are in the process of moxibustion, found that the temporary no effect, or because of the reaction of moxibustion temporary discomfort symptoms, please do not be discouraged!
