Then wrap the cotton in cloth and sew it into a small cotton pad. In winter, where there is pain, sew a small cloth pad on the corresponding pain part of the close-fitting clothes and wear it all the time. Generally, after half a month of use, a new one is replaced. When in use, it would be better if you put a hot water bottle outside this ginger cotton pad.

Rapid cold-expelling wet method

This is the fastest way to get rid of cold and dampness, and I use it the most. It's only open to adults.

The method is as follows:

1. Slice ginger, steam in a pot and steam until soft.

2. Use 6 ~ 8 green moxa sticks in summer (8 ~ 10 sticks in winter), buy a big clip in the stationery store to hold the moxa sticks, or tie the moxa sticks in a row with adhesive tape and light them.

3. Stick the steamed ginger slices on your back (as shown on the right). Light the rows of moxa sticks, keep a distance of half an inch to one inch from the ginger slices, and slowly move up and down. Usually smoked for 30 ~ 40 minutes. When you feel pain, try to stay away. At the beginning of smoking, some people will feel obvious burning sensation and pain, because the meridians are blocked, and a lot of heat cannot be distributed quickly. If the meridians behind are clear, even if the whole row of moxa sticks is close to the back, you won't feel any pain, only warmth and comfort. Take out the ginger slices after smoking. If the skin under the ginger is wet, the ginger is also wet, indicating that the body is cold and wet. For people with less cold and dampness in the body, ginger slices should be smoked with a lot of green moxa sticks for dozens of minutes, and the skin should be crisp and dry.

4. Stick the ginger slices around the lower abdomen and navel (as shown below) and smoke them up and down for 20 ~ 30 minutes.

5. Draw 10 ~ 20 times from ankle to knee, up and down on the outside and inside of both calves. (as shown in the figure below)

6. On the outside of both arms, pump Waiguan point up and down for 20 ~ 30 times.
