What should I do if moxibustion burns?

First of all, see whether you use direct moxibustion or mild moxibustion.

1. When moxibustion is hot, crush the burning moxa stick with a medical tongue depressor or a special bamboo piece, and then put a new moxa stick on it and light it.

2. If a self-adhesive moxa stick is used, remove it with tweezers and replace it with a new moxa stick.

3. If you use purulent moxibustion, you have to endure it and crush it.

4. If moxa sticks are used to hang moxibustion, the distance between moxa sticks and skin can be appropriately widened, and rotary moxibustion and bird pecking moxibustion can also be used to make moxa sticks less hot when aiming at a point.

5. If wooden moxibustion box is used, moxibustion box can be properly padded to be very hot but not uncomfortable and very comfortable.

6. If you use a walkman for moxibustion, you can use moxa sticks for insulation.

In addition, try not to use inferior moxa sticks. The poor quality moxa sticks are only scalded on the epidermis, which has no good penetration and cannot achieve the expected effect.
