Note: Do not take a bath within 1 hour after moxibustion. After moxibustion, the meridians and pores of the body are all opened. Taking a bath will let the cold invade and make it easy to catch a cold.
2 What should I pay attention to after moxibustion? Do not eat before moxibustion. Do not eat before moxibustion 1 hour. After eating, human blood is in the gastrointestinal system. At this time, you should pay attention to rest and avoid other exercises and treatments, so as not to affect the digestive function of the stomach.
It is not advisable to be overtired before moxibustion. Moxibustion will promote blood circulation. Some people will sweat to detoxify and consume the energy of the body. If they are too tired, they should rest first and wait until their bodies recover before doing moxibustion.
Not suitable for fasting moxibustion. As I said before, you can't eat before moxibustion, and you can't do moxibustion if you are too hungry. Moxibustion consumes body energy, and generally it takes about 15 minutes for one acupoint. If moxibustion is performed on an empty stomach, symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness and palpitation, are likely to occur.
Pay attention to keep warm during moxibustion. When moxibustion, the pores are open, which makes it easy for cold air to invade the body, so it must be carried out in a warm room to avoid moxibustion in the vent.
Do not touch cold water after moxibustion. Don't wash your hands with cold water within half an hour after moxibustion, especially you can't take a bath with cold water (bathing is usually not recommended). After moxibustion, local acupoints react, and bathing may affect the operation of meridians.
3 Tips 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.
