I think everyone is familiar with the term moxibustion. Even if you haven't experienced it, listen to the people around you. Moxibustion is a method of keeping in good health in summer, but if you don't master the taboos, it may cause harm to the human body. So, can everyone do "dog days moxibustion"? Can "dog moxibustion" cure all diseases?

1 Brief Introduction to Dog Moxibustion

Dog days moxibustion is a natural moxibustion therapy, which is called dog days moxibustion because it is treated in dog days every year. Natural moxibustion is a kind of non-hot moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion, also known as self-moxibustion and cold moxibustion, also known as drug foaming or application foaming.

In this method, some drugs that can stimulate the skin are smeared on acupoints of human body, and the stimulation of drugs can cause local skin congestion and even blistering at acupoints, so as to achieve the effect of treating diseases through the regulation of meridians.

Dog days moxibustion follows the principle of nourishing yang in spring and summer and treating winter diseases in summer. Moxibustion and acupoint application are carried out in dog days. It combines the advantages of chronomedicine, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and other aspects, and is mainly suitable for respiratory diseases, and has good therapeutic effects on asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, various chronic coughs, common diseases and cold constitution. Secondly, it also has a good effect on children's gastrointestinal diseases such as chronic enteritis, diarrhea, dyspepsia and anorexia. However, it must be noted that not everyone is suitable for dog days moxibustion.

2. Moxibustion in dog days is not suitable for people.

1, including pregnant women, patients with malignant tumors, people with strong allergies, people with blood system diseases and fever, people with yin deficiency and excessive fire, and children under one year old are not suitable.

2. People with scar constitution, weakness and pain, bronchiectasis, people with cold and fever, and diabetics with substandard blood sugar.

3. If you often feel dry lips, dry throat, sore throat, upset and irritable, hands and feet fever, hot flashes in the afternoon, it is not suitable for dog days moxibustion.

4. It is not suitable for younger children, because they are worried that children will move their positions at will during the treatment.

Do not eat cold, seafood, spicy and purulent foods, such as fried foods such as cattle, ducks, geese and peanuts, and do not take a cold bath on the day of dog moxibustion and the next day. Next, lie in the middle and lie at the end. Don't forget to stick to it until it gets stuck.

The medicine used in dog days moxibustion is paste, and the ointment is attached to the acupoint with adhesive tape when used. Apply the medicine once every volt, and the acupoints taken by various diseases are different. The medicine used in the ointment is volatile, and the best effect is to make it in time and stick it in time. If you take it home, the acupoint positioning may not be accurate. Only when professional doctors choose acupoints and use drugs in time can the effect be guaranteed.

Intimate tip: dog days moxibustion cannot cure all diseases. So be sure to consult a doctor in advance to see if it is appropriate.

3. Summer moxibustion taboo

Because moxibustion fumigation uses fire moxibustion, careless moxibustion may cause local skin burns. On the other hand, some Xue Jing will be injured in the process of moxibustion, so some parts or some people can't be moxibustion. These are all taboos of moxibustion. There were many taboos about moxibustion in ancient times. Although some taboos can be broken, some situations should be taboo.
