Moxibustion has a history of several thousand years in China. After years of experience accumulation, precipitation, practice, demonstration and clinical application, it is generally recommended that the duration of acupoint moxibustion be 15-20 minutes. Folium Artemisiae Argyi is a pure yang plant, which has the function of supporting yang and strengthening the body. Moxibustion for too long is easy to get angry and burn. For some unexpected events, such as stroke, there are 300-500 acupuncture points of Guanyuan and Shenque in ancient times, and moxibustion of Guanyuan and Qianzhuang from summer to day, which takes time from morning till night. Therefore, the time of moxibustion should also be operated according to the specific condition. Causes abdominal distension after operation and can't eat anything. A friend used moxibustion box to give moxibustion to the abdomen of the elderly, and put orange peel on the navel. Zusanli was moxibustion for nearly an hour. Old people vent directly (and then fart), and they can eat directly after moxibustion.

If it is a daily health moxibustion for half an hour, if it is aimed at different lesions, the time can be appropriately extended according to the severity, but it is best not to exceed 1 hour, because it is easy to cause people to get angry if the time is too long. For example, in emergencies, such as abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea, moxibustion can also be used until the symptoms are obviously relieved. For first aid, Zhou Meisheng once gave a coma encephalitis patient moxibustion for 72 hours until he woke up a few days later. Moxibustion for half an hour at a time is enough for deficiency, but it must be persisted for a long time and cannot be done overnight! According to the severity of the disease, decide the time and times of baking. If it is just an ordinary health care time, it can be determined according to the physical feeling.

The role of moxibustion is to warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and replenish human yang, and summer is the season with the most abundant yang in nature. The two can complement each other and achieve the best effect, so summer is the best season for moxibustion in a year. Moxibustion at home is also very convenient, unlike taking off clothes at home in winter and moxibustion is easy to catch a cold. Moreover, when the weather is hot, the human body is more sensitive to temperature and is not easy to be burned. Most importantly, moxibustion in summer conforms to the theory of "treating winter diseases in summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. Harmonizing qi and blood is the motive force of human life. Blood is the basic nutrition of human beings. Sufficient qi and blood, smooth operation, human life activities can operate normally. Moxibustion can invigorate qi and nourish blood, regulate qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of health care.
