Is moxibustion blistering a scald?
Not necessarily. If there are one or two blisters caused by hanging moxibustion or mild moxibustion, the moxa stick is "ten miles away" from the skin and cannot be called a burn (because fire does not directly burn the skin). Moxibustion blisters are mostly due to detoxification and dampness.
Blisters, big or small, caused by heavy qi and cold and obstruction of meridians are manifestations of diseases and pathogens in the body.

How to avoid being burned during moxibustion
Many people get blisters when doing moxibustion, and even fester and infect bleeding water. They knew at a glance that it was a very serious burn. So, how to avoid moxibustion being burned?
1. Ambient ventilation: keep the environment ventilated to avoid the harmful effects of strong moxa smoke. Patients with respiratory diseases, especially those with asthma, should use moxibustion with caution.
2. Moxibustion site: Moxibustion site is not suitable for pregnant women's abdomen and lumbosacral region; Direct moxibustion is not suitable for facial features, pudendal parts and parts with large blood vessels; The skin of head, chest and limbs is thin and there are many bones and muscles, so moxibustion is not allowed.
3, tool quality: choose good quality moxa. Inferior moxa is stiff and does not reunite. When burning, the firepower is fierce, which is easy to make patients feel burning, and even when smoking, the stone particles fall off and burn the skin. Also, use moxibustion box. If you are afraid of being burned by falling Mars, you can play with ashes from time to time.
4. Attention frequency: those with strong physique, mild illness and short course of disease can be moxibustion 1-2 times; Patients with poor health, serious illness and old age can be moxibustion for several months or even more than 1 year. At the first moxibustion, once a day 1 time; Long-term moxibustion treatment was changed to 2-3 days 1 time after 3 times.
5, avoid burns: when moxibustion, the distance between moxibustion fire and skin should be adjusted in time. Some patients have a severe local cold, and have strong tolerance to moxa fire during the first moxibustion, and often unconsciously put moxa fire close to the skin, causing burning pain in the skin. In fact, it is advisable to moxibustion 10- 15 minutes every time until the skin turns red.

The ancients especially liked to use blister scar moxibustion to treat diseases, and even tried their best to treat diseases as soon as possible.
