Moxibustion is the best way to remove moisture. First, local moxibustion
When there is pain in a certain part of the body, you can try moxibustion with three or four moxa sticks. Whether the pain is good or bad requires the whole body to cooperate at this time. Only in this way can the cold be prevented from entering the body. Eliminating cold and dampness through moxibustion is a long-term process, so it is actually quite troublesome to queue up for various appointments every time you go out for moxibustion. At this time, you can consider preparing a box of moxa sticks at home, directly igniting and tearing them and sticking them on the acupoints to be moxibustion.
Second, abdominal moxibustion
Abdominal moxibustion is helpful to solve diseases caused by dampness or cold in the body, such as spleen and stomach weakness. But if the time is too long, it may lead to gas stagnation. Therefore, it is suggested that you fumigate Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points on your legs after fumigating your lower abdomen, so as to lead the qi down and avoid the trouble of getting angry.
Third, the whole body moxibustion
Full-body moxibustion needs ten moxa sticks to fumigate the body, which has a good effect on dispelling cold and dampness and helping the body to heat up quickly. However, if your body is seriously deficient in both qi and blood, there is no way to achieve rapid blood circulation. At this time, you must eat ginger, red dates and longan soup, and then you must eat beef or shrimp after fumigation.
