First, the basic methods of moxibustion
The commonly used moxibustion method is hanging moxibustion with moxa sticks. Hanging moxibustion with moxa sticks is to ignite moxa sticks and then hang them above acupoints for moxibustion, also called mild moxibustion.
Mild moxibustion: hang the lighted end of the moxa stick on the acupoint for moxibustion, so as to keep the distance between the moxa fire and the skin at 2 ~ 3 cm, and it is appropriate for the child to feel warm without burning sensation and the skin is warm and red. During operation, the mother can put the finger of the other hand near the moxibustion site and use the finger of the mother to feel the local warm state so as not to burn the child's skin. If it is hot, keep the moxa stick away from the skin; If it is not hot, you can close to the skin and adjust the height of the moxa stick according to the feeling of your fingers. After the mother lit the moxa stick, she put it 2 ~ 3 cm away from the skin of the acupoint and slowly applied moxibustion. Because children can't accurately reflect the degree of burning, they need careful observation from their mothers. The distance of moxa fire can be changed slightly at any time, and the purpose can be achieved on the principle of non-combustion.
Second, the main point of moxibustion for children with rhinitis is Shen Zhu, and the matching points are Pishu, Mingmen, Zhongyu, Shenque and Hegu.
The point of the body column is under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra in the back (the third vertebra below the highest vertebra in the middle of the shoulder and back). When taking acupoints, the patient naturally sits flat on his shoulder, leans his head slightly forward, and takes acupoints at the sinking place of the third thoracic vertebra.
The body column is also the "pillar" of our human body, which is caused by the pulse of the Du meridian, close to the lungs, belonging to the Du meridian and leading to the brain. It has the effects of activating yang, regulating qi, expelling pathogenic wind, relieving fever, clearing away heart fire, calming nerves, lowering adverse flow and relieving cough, and has health care effect on children. It is the key point of moxibustion to improve nervous system, promote brain development, enhance intelligence, prevent and treat respiratory diseases and various diseases in children.
Third, matters needing attention in family moxibustion
Moxibustion is easy to operate and convenient to operate at home. Now it is a family health care method accepted by more and more parents. But as a professional treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, mothers still have a lot to pay attention to:
1、? Be attentive and persistent.
Pay attention to concentration when applying moxibustion, and don't be distracted, lest the moxa stick move, not at the acupoint, and hurt the flesh. For health moxibustion, we should persist for a long time, and occasionally moxibustion will not achieve the expected effect.
2. Get children's cooperation
If the child doesn't want moxibustion, mother shouldn't force him. She can show moxibustion to herself and her children first, and let them know that moxibustion is painless. Only with the cooperation of children can the moxibustion site remain motionless and achieve curative effect.
Step 3 avoid burns
The child's skin is very delicate. Mom needs to carefully understand the warm feeling of moxibustion parts, adjust the height of moxa sticks in time, and pay attention to scraping ash in time to avoid skin blistering caused by excessive moxibustion or ash falling. An unskilled mother can put gauze towels or moxibustion on the child's moxibustion part after the child falls asleep.
4. Find the right acupoints
On the one hand, the posture should be comfortable and natural, but also suitable for the needs of moxibustion. Children can apply moxibustion after their children fall asleep, and find the right parts and acupoints according to the prescription to ensure the moxibustion effect.
5, pay attention to fire prevention
After moxibustion, you can put the lighted moxa stick into an iron milk powder bucket or tea bucket, and cover it to isolate the air.
