The time of moxibustion mainly depends on your own specific situation. The principle of moxibustion length is that moxibustion takes a long time and must be carried out for a long time to see, which refers to chronic diseases. Generally, once a day for the first three days, once every other day, or once every two days, moxibustion can last for one month, two months, three months, or even more than half a year. If it is used for fitness moxibustion, it can be used three or five times a month for life, and the effect is better. If it is acute or sporadic, sometimes moxibustion will be over once or twice, depending on the need, and there is no need to limit the time and times. If it is a chronic disease or incurable disease, you can moxibustion once every three days, five days and seven days. It depends on the specific situation.

Chinese medicine experts pointed out that the most suitable season for Chinese medicine moxibustion therapy is summer. Because there are few clothes to wear in summer, moxibustion at home is very convenient even if you don't go to the hospital, unlike moxibustion at home when you take off your clothes in winter, which is easy to catch a cold. Moreover, when the weather is hot, the human body is more sensitive to temperature and is not easy to be burned.

Most importantly, moxibustion in summer conforms to the theory of "treating winter diseases in summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are more suitable for acupuncture therapy. Most of the sick people belong to yang deficiency constitution. Artemisia argyi leaves are warm and belong to pure yang. Moxibustion can warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and tonify human yang. Summer happens to be the time when the yang in nature is the heaviest, and the yang and heat of the two are combined, and the warming effect is stronger.

Japan and China are the times when people are most energetic and can overcome diseases and evils. So this is also the most suitable time for moxibustion in a day, around noon (noon11-1). During this period, the yang of human body and nature gradually became stronger, reaching a peak at noon. At this time, moxibustion conditioning can achieve good results, just like moxibustion in the dog days of summer, the tonic effect is the best.
