1, family moxibustion:

Light one end of the moxa stick so that the burning end is close to the skin acupuncture point, so that the acupuncture point can be warmed quickly. Lift the moxa stick slowly, 3 ~ 4 cm away from the skin, and keep still. During moxibustion, the warm feeling will make the skin red but not burning, and there are some comfortable feelings such as soreness and numbness at the local and distal ends.

2, whole body moxa fumigation

(1) Drink ginger, red dates and longan soup before the whole body is smoked with moxa sticks to preserve health and nourish yin. Use 3 slices of ginger, 10 red dates (core removed) and 10 longan (core removed), add water, cook for 15 minutes, and pour into a pulverizer to make paste.

(2) Slice ginger and steam it in a pot for later use.

(3) Use 6-8 sticks of moxa sticks in summer (8- 10 sticks in winter), bundle them in rows and light them.

(4) Stick the steamed ginger slices on your back. The lit rows of moxa sticks keep a distance of half an inch to one inch from the ginger slices, and slowly move up and down, usually smoking for 30 to 40 minutes.

(5) Stick ginger slices around the lower abdomen and navel and smoke them up and down for 20-30 minutes.

(6) From ankle to knee, up and down, pumping back and forth 30 ~ 50 times on the outside and inside of both calves.

3. Local wormwood fumigation

You can use 3-6 moxa sticks, tie them in a row with adhesive tape, and smoke them up and down at a distance of 10-30mm from the skin.

For dysmenorrhea, use 6 sticks of moxa sticks to smoke the lower abdomen to the navel twice a week for 30-40 minutes each time to promote the blood circulation of the lower abdomen. Such as scapulohumeral periarthritis, you can use 3-5 moxa sticks to moxibustion from Fengchi point of neck to Jianfeng point and Jianjing point for about 5 minutes. When fumigating, be sure to keep the indoor temperature suitable and not catch cold. Such as abdominal cold and diarrhea. You can smoke the lower abdomen to the navel with a few sticks of moxa stick, which can dispel the cold.
