Each burning moxa cone is the strongest one, with as few as 3-5 moxibustion, dozens of moxibustion and hundreds of moxibustion. As for the duration of moxibustion, it turns out that moxibustion lasts for a long time and must be carried out for a long time to see results, referring to chronic diseases. Generally, once a day for the first three days, once every other day, or once every two days, moxibustion can last for one month, two months, three months, or even more than half a year. If it is used for fitness moxibustion, it can be used three or five times a month for life, and the effect is better. If it is acute or sporadic, sometimes moxibustion will be over once or twice, depending on the need, and there is no need to limit the time and times. If it is a chronic disease or incurable disease, you can moxibustion once every three days, five days and seven days. It should be considered comprehensively according to the specific situation, so it is the same as the dose of medicine, and there is no harm in not being late.

"Introduction to Medicine" said: "Acupuncture can cure Datong, but it is not appropriate to have more moxibustion where the head and face are full of yang and the chest and diaphragm are full of fire, and it is not appropriate to have more moxibustion for those with yin deficiency in the back and abdomen, but the acupoints on the limbs are the best. Where the upper body and bones are involved, acupuncture should be shallow, moxibustion should be less, acupuncture can be deeper than lower limbs and thick meat, and moxibustion is more harmless. " This means: more moxibustion is not suitable for head, face and chest diaphragm; Moxibustion may be better for lower limbs and thick meat. Clinically, avoid direct moxibustion on areas with fine muscles, above bones, large blood vessels, movable joints, skin wrinkles and other parts; It is no problem to have more moxibustion and long moxibustion at Shu point with thick back muscles. Any moxibustion method will do.
