Which is better, dog moxibustion or dog paste?
Each has its own advantages.

How many times does moxibustion need in dog days?
It depends on a person's physical quality.
How many times you need moxibustion in dog days depends on your physical fitness. If it is only used for daily health care, it is generally enough to moxibustion once every three days before, during and after the dog days, which will not cause great burden to the body.
If you need to treat the disease, you need to do it under the guidance of a doctor. It is generally recommended to moxibustion once a day in the early stage and 1-3 times a week in the later stage.
How long does dog moxibustion last at a time?
15-20 minutes.
Dog-day moxibustion uses the fire generated by burning wormwood to stimulate acupoints, thus playing the role of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dredging meridians and preserving health. In the process of treatment, it will consume a certain amount of physical strength and energy, so the longer the time, the better. It is generally recommended to do it for about 15-20 minutes each time.
Moreover, after moxibustion, it is necessary to dry the sweat on your body in time, put on clothes and avoid blowing cold. If you want to take a bath, it is recommended to wait 12 hours.
Can I use dog moxibustion at night?
Moxibustion at night is not recommended.
Because moxibustion in dog days is a kind of heat treatment, the human body's yang rises during the day, and it is the time when the human body's yin rises and the yang falls at night. Therefore, if you need to supplement the yang, it is recommended to moxibustion during the day, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
If you don't have time during the day, you can also moxibustion some acupoints for nourishing yin under the guidance of a doctor. It is not recommended to tonify yang, otherwise it may excite nerves and affect sleep treatment.
