The author is Moxibustion/May 5th Teacher/Ai Chen/Ai Tiao/who has been engaged in Moxibustion for more than ten years. Moxibustion itself does not cause toothache, which is generally caused by getting angry before moxibustion or eating something that gets angry after moxibustion.
The causes of toothache after moxibustion may be:
1. Moxibustion sequence is wrong. Moxibustion should start from the Yang meridian, then to the Yin meridian, first up and then down, first left and then right, first head and hind legs, first back and abdomen.
2. The first moxibustion took too long. Generally speaking, Xue takes about 20-30 minutes, and Xue 10 minutes (except for special diseases).
3. Drink less water and eat hot food after moxibustion.
The solutions to toothache after moxibustion are:
1. Soak your feet with wormwood or salt two hours after dinner or one hour before going to bed, and set fire to it.
2. After each moxibustion, add moxibustion at Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Yongquan (choose any one) for 5- 10 minutes, and moxibustion at left and right first.
3. Moxibustion at Shenque point can be suspended, and health care at Shenque point can be continued after toothache disappears.
4. The upper toothache can be massaged to stimulate the blood in the inner chamber or stab at the blood.
5. Lower toothache can be stimulated by rubbing Hegu point or pricking Yang Xue.
6. It is also advisable to break an egg and brew it with boiling water, drop a few drops of sesame oil and take it before going to bed.
7. Scraping is allowed (Zusanli to the lower giant deficiency or Dazhui to the lower column, and blood can be pricked in severe cases).
