What should I do if my skin itches especially after moxibustion? This is one of the normal reactions after moxibustion. Both essential oil massage and moxibustion can promote the excretion of toxins in the body, and some of them are excreted through the skin. These things will irritate the skin if they are discharged to the skin. As long as you can stand it, just ignore it. If you really can't stand it, you can stop moxibustion and essential oil massage.
It itches after moxibustion. How to deal with the rash after moxibustion, itching, heart boredom and other symptoms are all caused by dampness, cold and cold in different internal organs of the body from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Urticaria, for example, is that dampness can't be transported after spleen deficiency, and it colludes with a cold to enter the blood, and the liver fire turns to wind, and it doesn't locate an attack at the time of onset ... Other western doctors say that rashes, macules, papules and herpes zoster with different symptoms are all common colds and cold evil gangs with dampness as the main factor, wandering around and destroying them, causing various skin diseases.
After moxibustion, due to the effective supplement and recovery of liver, spleen and kidney yang, the moxibustion function is strengthened, and the detoxification and self-healing ability is enhanced. With the help of the power against evil spirits, evil spirits are driven out of internal organs, blood and other tissues and organs and enter the skin. When they are discharged, skin rashes with different symptoms will appear, which is the detoxification and disease discharge reaction of traditional Chinese medicine. Similar to the rash described by western medicine, some patients have unbearable itching, some have uncomfortable pain, some have yellow water, and some have dry skin ... The more itchy, the heavier and deeper the poison gas, and the more serious the damage to internal organs, blood and organs. It can be judged that the pathogenic factors have entered this stage for a long time, which can be called "disease with deep roots in years". Usually, such patients are still impatient. Since they are "seriously ill", it is necessary to give moxibustion for a period of time and detoxify the body for a period of time.
One of the functions of skin is the largest detoxification organ of human body. If there is any disease in the body, the body must first excrete toxins through the skin, and the toxins can be discharged to the skin. How terrible it looks, no threat. Chinese medicine says: "Any disease is caused by internal factors first, and then by external factors". As long as it can be sent out, the disease will be cured, depending on whether the patient can give the disease a chance to leave the hospital. Can you persist until the pathogenic factors are completely discharged?
There are two sentences in "The Theory of Painful Itching and Hemp in Ming History": "If the hostage burns near the skin, it will get sore; if it is near the fire, it will hurt; if it is far away, it will itch. The pain is real, and the itching is virtual. Not empty cold, but hot. " In this passage, the author uses the distance between man and fire to illustrate the relationship between pain and itching. Pain, because it is close to the fire; Itchy, that's because it's far from the fire.
Therefore, "itch" is due to weakness, not physical weakness, but lack of "firepower", which can also be understood as insufficient warmth of yang. If we pass long-term moxibustion, the body will be full of yang and the cold and dampness will be discharged, there will be no "itching"!
"Itching" belongs to the perception controlled by nervous system in modern medicine. When itching occurs, the brain sends out a "scratch" instruction. If we don't carry out this command, neural regulation will fail, so we will find other ways to make facial muscles twitch and stop itching ourselves.
The five major symptoms after moxibustion are 1, numbness and chills at acupoints.
After moxibustion, there is a feeling of wind blowing or numbness in the knee; There is also moxibustion at Mingmen point or navel, which makes Yongquan point cool, which belongs to the phenomenon of ordinary cold discharge or cold and wet discharge.
Red and white spots. If the skin flush is uneven after moxibustion, there are pale white spots of different sizes in the middle of the flush, and some even have more white and less red! This is because the local channels and collaterals are blocked, and the qi and blood flow is not smooth. It is suggested to continue moxibustion treatment until the warm feeling at the moxibustion site is enhanced, the white spots on the skin disappear after moxibustion, and even flushing and sweating are sufficient doses for a course of treatment.
2, the skin is flushed and there is water vapor.
In the process of moxibustion, patches of flushing and even water vapor will appear on the skin around the acupoints, which will make the hands feel moist (this phenomenon usually occurs in the case of moxibustion with moxibustion box or moxibustion pot, but this reaction is rare in moxibustion suspension moxibustion). Most of this reaction shows that the amount of moxibustion is sufficient once, and it is possible to stop this moxibustion.
3, rash, itching.
If the moisture in the body is heavy, a small rash will appear on the face or body during moxibustion treatment, and it will itch, which is the performance of moisture discharge in the body. This situation can be observed by moxibustion. If the rash subsides by itself, if it does not subside or worsen, moxibustion at Quchi and Hegu can be added. Patients with serious gynecological problems will have these symptoms around navel and groin when moxibustion is applied.
4. There is sound in the depths of acupoints.
Sometimes in the process of moxibustion, especially after a certain course of moxibustion, moxibustion friends will feel a sound in the depths of acupoints, which is a manifestation of dredging the long-standing meridians after reaching a certain amount of moxibustion. Long-term diseases and chronic diseases are mostly improved obviously after the sound in the deep acupoints.
If you have abnormal symptoms after moxibustion, you should seek medical advice promptly.
