Stop blind moxibustion! Do you know the best time and taboo of moxibustion?

Hello, everyone, we are your traditional Chinese medicine physique conditioner, Dr. Yin.

How many days is moxibustion suitable for a course of treatment?

Generally speaking, when doing moxibustion in summer, it is enough to do it once a day, but the time for doing moxibustion should not be too short. If it is too short, it may not achieve the effect.

Generally speaking, the moxibustion time of waist and abdomen should not be less than 40 minutes, and the time of legs is generally 20 minutes. A course of treatment is about two weeks. After two weeks, you can rest for a day or two before starting moxibustion.

Can moxibustion be done every day? It depends on different situations, for example, some acute symptoms suddenly appear in the body, and some are very serious. We can moxibustion for a period of time, once or twice a day, until the symptoms get better, but only if our bodies can eat.

Then moxibustion for chronic diseases stopped after a period of time. If a disease has been bothering us for many years, we should take it slowly at the beginning of moxibustion and pay attention to gradual progress. At first, you can moxibustion every day, about half a month, rest for two days in the middle, and then moxibustion every day.

Matters needing attention in moxibustion

1, during moxibustion and after moxibustion, you should not blow air or soak in cold water immediately.

During moxibustion, people's pores, meridians and acupoints are all open. If the air conditioner is blown at this time, cold air will enter the human body along the pores and meridians, causing harm to the body.

The air conditioner can only be turned on 2-3 hours after moxibustion, but the temperature needs to be controlled at 27-28℃ and cannot be blown in the opposite direction. Otherwise, the cold can easily invade the body, causing adverse reactions (headache, fever, cold back, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. ).

You can't wash your hands with cold water half an hour after moxibustion. If you wash your hands, you need warm water. You can't take a bath within 3 hours, but you can take a bath with water above body temperature after 3 hours. In order to prevent cold and dampness from invading the body and affecting the moxibustion effect.

2. Don't do moxibustion on an empty stomach or just after eating.

You can't do moxibustion on an empty stomach or just after eating. You need to do moxibustion half an hour after meals.

3. Pay attention to diet after moxibustion.

In summer, many people like to eat cold drinks and fruits to prevent heatstroke, but don't eat these cold drinks and fruits on the day of moxibustion. Including sorbet, ice cream, iced drinks, watermelons, cucumbers, peaches and so on.

Don't eat spicy food during moxibustion, and the diet should be light.

4. Sexual intercourse is prohibited after moxibustion.

Many pregnant parents will choose moxibustion to exercise. Then you can have sex immediately after moxibustion, but this method varies from person to person. Some people are in good health, or only need moxibustion once or twice, but some people need to stick to moxibustion for a long time.

Moxibustion taboo

Taboo 1: Do not apply moxibustion to areas with thin skin and few muscles, waist and sacrum of pregnant women, lower abdomen, nipples, genitals and testicles of men and women. In addition, do not directly moxibustion joints. In addition, don't moxibustion in big blood vessels, heart parts, eyeballs and other places.

Taboo 2: Step by step. When using moxibustion for the first time, we should pay attention to mastering the amount. First, a small amount of small doses should be used, such as using moxa sticks, or moxibustion should be shorter and less frequent. Increase the dose in the future, not at the beginning.

Taboo 3: For people or children who are not sensitive to the skin, you can put your index finger and middle finger on both sides of the moxibustion site to sense the temperature of the moxibustion site, so that it will not burn the skin and get good results.

Taboo 4: People who are extremely tired, hungry, full-fed, drunk, sweating and emotionally unstable, during certain infectious diseases, high fever, coma and convulsions, or when their bodies are extremely tired and emaciated, or mental patients and other people who have no self-control ability should avoid moxibustion.
