Taboo 1: All exposed parts, such as face, neck and arms. It is not appropriate to moxibustion directly to prevent scarring and affect the appearance.
Taboo 2: Don't apply moxibustion on thin skin, less muscles and tendons, pregnant women's waist and sacrum, men's and women's lower abdomen, nipples, genitals, testicles and other parts. In addition, do not directly moxibustion joints. In addition, don't moxibustion in big blood vessels, heart parts, eyeballs and other places.
Taboo 3: Do not wash your hands or bathe in cold water within half an hour after moxibustion. Drink more warm water than usual after moxibustion (never drink cold water or ice water) to help excrete toxins from the body.
Taboo 4: Pay attention to concentration when moxibustion is applied, and don't distract attention when moxibustion is applied, so as to avoid moxa sticks moving and not on the acupoints.
Taboo 5: Pay attention to the accuracy of posture and acupoint selection: pay attention to the comfort and naturalness of posture, pay attention to the accuracy of acupoint selection, and ensure the effect of moxibustion.
Taboo 6: Many modern clothes are made of chemical fiber, down and other textures, which are easy to burn. Therefore, we must pay attention to prevent the fire from falling, especially when moxibustion with moxa sticks, to prevent the moxa sticks from rolling down. After moxibustion, the lighted end of the moxa stick can be stuffed into a bottle with a diameter slightly larger than that of the moxa stick to facilitate extinguishing.
