Taboo for taking medicine with moxa sticks: it has not been established yet. It is suggested that patients should pay attention to the concentration of ideas when applying moxibustion, and do not distract attention when moxibustion points, so as to avoid the movement of moxibustion ointment and the burning of skin by moxa ash scattered on the skin outside the points. In view of the understanding of moxibustion for disease prevention, it is necessary to cultivate long-term unremitting self-confidence and perseverance, and sometimes moxibustion can not achieve the expected purpose.
From shallow to deep, the first moxibustion therapy should pay attention to the amount of stimulation, first a small amount, small dose, such as small moxa sticks, or strong moxibustion with shorter moxibustion time and fewer times. Then increase the usage. You don't have to start with the ambassador. When moxibustion at acupoints, we must pay attention to avoid falling fire, especially when moxibustion with moxa sticks, to prevent the moxa sticks from rolling off. After moxibustion, the lighted end of the moxibustion patch can be stuffed into a bottle slightly larger than the diameter of the moxibustion patch to facilitate extinguishing.
