The most suitable season for TCM moxibustion therapy is summer. Moxibustion in summer accords with the theory of "treating winter diseases in summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are more suitable for acupuncture therapy. Most of the sick people belong to yang deficiency constitution. Artemisia argyi leaves are warm and belong to pure yang. Moxibustion can warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and tonify human yang. Summer happens to be the time when the yang in nature is the heaviest, and the yang and heat of the two are combined, and the warming effect is stronger. Therefore, moxibustion can achieve the best nourishing effect in the summer with the most sunshine in nature.
As for time, moxibustion has no special fixed time. You can moxibustion at any time. Before and after meals, once in the morning and once in the evening, as long as you are not too hungry before meals, you can moxibustion for half an hour to an hour after meals, and you can't moxibustion if you are too full and hungry.
If it is moxibustion according to the course of treatment, it is best to continue moxibustion every day for the first three times, and each acupoint lasts 15-20 minutes, and then moxibustion every other day 10 days is a course of treatment. Children and the elderly need shorter moxibustion time.
Generally speaking, the health care method of moxibustion is more flexible, and the time of moxibustion can be selected according to your actual situation and comfort. Under normal circumstances, the time of moxibustion with moxa sticks can be shorter, and the time of moxibustion with moxa sticks or moxibustion pots can be slightly longer, because it is milder.
