Moxibustion precautions are as follows:
1. Be attentive and patient: pay attention to concentration when moxibustion is applied, and don't distract attention when moxibustion is applied, so as not to move the moxa stick instead of on the acupoint, which will only hurt the skin and flesh and waste time. For health moxibustion, we should persist for a long time, and occasionally moxibustion can not achieve the expected effect.
2. Pay attention to the accuracy of body position and acupoints: on the one hand, the body position should meet the needs of moxibustion, and at the same time, it should be noted that the body position should be comfortable and natural, and the position and acupoints should be determined according to the prescription to ensure the effect of moxibustion.
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. Pay attention to keep warm and prevent heatstroke: Because some body surface parts should be exposed when moxibustion is applied, it is necessary to keep warm in winter and prevent heatstroke in summer. At the same time, pay attention to adjust the indoor temperature and turn on the ventilator in time to exchange fresh air.
5. Prevention of infection: festering moxibustion or improper moxibustion treatment may lead to sores on local burns, resulting in moxibustion sores. Be sure not to break the sore. If the infection has been broken, use anti-inflammatory drugs in time.
6. Master the procedure of moxibustion: If there are many points scattered, they should be carried out in the order of back first, chest and abdomen, and head and back.
