2. Don't hang the moxibustion device for too long after it is ignited, so as to avoid overheating when touching the skin and causing burns. If the hanging time is too long, you can lower the temperature of the moxibustion device with your palm before continuing to use it. Knock out the moxibustion apparatus every once in a while.

3. After using two or three moxibustion strips each time, the control mouth of moxibustion apparatus will produce warm moxibustion grease, which should be cleaned with a brush to keep the moxibustion strips unobstructed.

4. When putting out the fire, just press the upper spring part, turn the moxibustion apparatus upside down, make the moxibustion stick slide into the tube, and stay for 10 second to put out the fire.

Before moxibustion, the operation requirements should be explained to the patients, so as to eliminate the fear and obtain the cooperation of the patients. If scar moxibustion is needed, the patient's consent must be obtained first.

② The correct posture should be selected in clinical moxibustion, and the patient's posture should be straight and comfortable, which is not only conducive to the accurate selection of acupoints, but also conducive to the placement of moxa cone and the smooth completion of moxibustion.

③ The amount of moxa cone moxibustion is often determined according to the size of moxa cone and the intensity of moxibustion. Generally speaking, the moxa cone with strong physique at the beginning of illness is bigger and stronger. Ai Xi, who is weak after a long illness, should be small and strong. According to the characteristics of the moxibustion site, it is not suitable to apply moxibustion on the head, face and chest. Waist and abdomen moxibustion can be strong; Don't moxibustion at the ends of limbs with thin skin and many bones and muscles; Shoulders and thick skin and full muscles should be big and strong. Moxibustion should be combined with the condition.

⑥ When moxibustion or warm acupuncture is applied, attention should be paid to prevent moxa fire from falling off, so as to avoid burning skin and clothes. In the process of moxibustion, it is necessary to know the patient's reaction at any time, adjust the distance between moxibustion fire and skin in time, master the amount of moxibustion, and avoid moxibustion injury caused by excessive moxibustion.

If blisters appear locally after moxibustion, they can be absorbed naturally as long as they are not rubbed. If the blister is too large, it can be punctured from the bottom of the blister with a sterile needle, then coated with gentian violet liquid, and told the patient not to scratch, which can be absorbed and healed in a few days. . Those who have suppurated moxibustion should avoid alcohol, fishy smell and irritating food during the suppurative period of moxibustion sores to prevent infection. If there is a secondary infection, it should be treated in time. In addition, more attention should be paid to moxibustion treatment, especially for patients with respiratory diseases.

⑦ In the operating room, attention should be paid to ventilation to keep the air fresh, so as to avoid the smoke being too thick, polluting the air and causing harm to the human body. After moxa cone or moxa stick moxibustion treatment, the burning moxa stick must be extinguished to prevent the accident from happening again.
