1, Matters needing attention in moxibustion foaming
1, moxibustion blisters, need puncture?
It depends. If it is a relatively small blister, you don't need to puncture it. Stop moxibustion and let it fade away gradually. If it is a relatively large blister (non-scalding blister), it is not recommended to handle it yourself.
2. Will the blister fester if it is not punctured?
The blister is not punctured, depending on what kind of blister it belongs to. Scalded blisters will fester. Moxibustion flowers. It is caused by the accumulation of cold and dampness in the body, and generally it will not fester without puncture.
3. Is moxibustion blistering the result that moxa heat does not enter the body and only acts on the skin surface?
Chinese and western medicine have different interpretations. It is generally believed that this is caused by evil spirits going out.
Because of my work, I will often contact moxibustion. I also have moxibustion apparatus and moxa sticks at home to recuperate my body.
If moxibustion does not burn the skin during the operation, puncture is not needed for the time being. After the bubble bursts, you can use some anti-inflammatory drugs such as erythromycin. In the process of stuttering, try to avoid water contact with scars. Once water is repeatedly contacted, the chances of leaving scars are greatly increased. If the wound is well protected, the scar will be reduced a lot.
Many people are prone to blistering during moxibustion. Chinese medicine believes that foaming is due to the heavy cold and dampness in the body, and the heat energy of moxibustion is absorbed by the body. When it is absorbed well or poorly in the body, there will be an improvement reaction, so that is to say, because your body absorbs heat energy, moxibustion helps us to expel cold and moisture from the body, and there will be an improvement reaction such as blisters. Therefore, it will be better for people who are often exposed to moxibustion.
2. Precautions for moxibustion
1, attention should be paid to the accuracy of body position and acupoint selection: on the one hand, the body position should meet the needs of moxibustion, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the comfortable and natural body position, and the accurate position and acupoint selection according to the prescription should ensure the effect of moxibustion.
2. Be attentive and patient: pay attention to concentration when moxibustion is applied, and don't distract attention when moxibustion is applied, so as to avoid moxa sticks moving, not at acupoints, hurting the skin and wasting time. For health moxibustion, we should persist for a long time, and occasionally moxibustion can not achieve the expected effect.
3, fire prevention: many modern clothes are made of chemical fiber, down and other textures, which are easy to burn. Therefore, we must pay attention to fire prevention when moxibustion, especially when moxibustion with moxa sticks, to prevent the moxa sticks from tumbling off. After moxibustion, the lighted end of the moxa stick can be stuffed into a bottle with a diameter slightly larger than that of the moxa stick to facilitate extinguishing.
4, step by step: the first time you use moxibustion, you should pay attention to the amount of stimulation, first a small amount, small dose, such as using moxa sticks, or moxibustion for a short time, less intensity. Increase the dose in the future. Don't start with a large dose.
5, pay attention to keep warm and prevent heatstroke: Because moxibustion should expose some body surface parts, keep warm in winter and prevent heatstroke in summer, but also pay attention to adjusting indoor temperature, turn on the ventilator and exchange fresh air in time.
6. Pay attention to the adjustment of moxibustion temperature: For children with sensitive person's skin or children, put the index finger and middle finger on both sides of the moxibustion site to sense the temperature of the moxibustion site, which will not burn the skin and get good results.
7, pay attention to the time of moxibustion: Some diseases must pay attention to the time of moxibustion, such as insomnia should be moxibustion before going to bed. Do not apply moxibustion on an empty stomach before and after meals.
