As we all know, heavy moisture in the body will not only affect the whole person's spirit, but also make people extremely tired, greasy, acne, spots and obesity, and will also hinder the discharge of toxins in the body and increase long-term health risks. So most people attach great importance to the dehumidification of the body. Moxibustion, as a well-known acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, can effectively remove cold and dampness accumulated in the body and expel damp-heat toxins from the body. This dehumidification effect of moxibustion mainly depends on its functions of nourishing yang, transporting water and eliminating dampness. By fumigating moxa sticks at important acupoints related to the human body, the meridians of the human body can be dredged, which is conducive to expelling moisture and heat toxin from the body.
However, although moxibustion is good, we should also pay attention to methods, and the time should not be too short or too long. Moxibustion time is too short to have much effect, but too long will lead to excessive internal heat, which is easy to cause harm to the body. Generally speaking, people with high body humidity are advised to moxibustion with moxa sticks for 10- 15 minutes every day and moxibustion with walkman for 20-30 minutes. Don't pursue moxibustion blistering excessively, some people will blister after moxibustion, which is considered as a sign of TCM wet poison discharge. However, not all people with high humidity will blister, and not all blisters are a symbol of wet poison discharge.
Although routine moxibustion is beneficial to eliminating dampness and strengthening the body, long-term moxibustion may produce "side effects" such as sweating, leukorrhagia and urination. Some people think that this is a reaction to detoxifying and getting sick after moxibustion, while others worry that this is a side effect after moxibustion. In fact, the clinical discharge reaction after moxibustion is basically similar to its side effects, which is difficult to distinguish. However, as long as these "side effects" appear and the physical condition tends to improve, it can basically be judged as the detoxification and deicing reaction of moxibustion. If you feel weak physically and mentally, it may be a side effect of moxibustion. At this time, you should inform the doctor in time and be careful when moxibustion.
