1 Why does the more moxibustion, the colder the stomach feels? Because during moxibustion, the body's qi and blood are aroused by moxa smoke, and the body will begin to enter a state of self-adjustment, and the cold and cold gas will begin to be discharged from the skin. When the skin discharges cold, the body will sweat, so the skin surface will feel cold. At this time, it is recommended to wipe the cold sweat with a dry cotton towel in time to avoid catching cold. Be careful not to wash it with cold water.

Is it a good phenomenon to feel cold after moxibustion? It depends.

There are many reasons that cause skin surface chills after moxibustion. Besides the reaction of expelling diseases, it may also be due to the damage of vital qi, because moxibustion needs to adjust the position and time of moxibustion according to different people's constitutions and diseases. If the constitution does not correspond to the position and time of moxibustion, it may lead to the damage of vital qi, further deficiency of yang in the body, and then the skin chills, which can be alleviated after adjusting the intensity and frequency of moxibustion.

Therefore, whether feeling chills after moxibustion is a good phenomenon depends on the situation. It may be a good phenomenon if it is a discharge reaction, but it is an abnormal situation if the vital qi is damaged, and it is difficult for most people to judge the real reason. It is recommended to inform the doctor in time if there is chills.

3 How long moxibustion is best varies from person to person.

Everyone's physique and the diseases to be treated are different, so the specific moxibustion time varies from person to person. It is recommended that it should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

If it is only for daily health care, the time of moxibustion is generally controlled at 15~20 minutes, while if it is necessary to improve physical fitness and recuperate diseases, the time of moxibustion will be more than 30 minutes, and the time is too short to reach the penetration of heat, so the time of moxibustion is different according to different people's physical fitness and diseases.

Can moxibustion be done every day? It depends on the specific situation.

There are many important acupoints in the human body, and different acupoints have different functions. For example, Yongquan, Taiyin and other acupoints can nourish yin, while Guanzhong, Zusanli and other acupoints can enhance vital qi. However, if some acupoints are moxibustion every day, it will affect the normal yang function of the human body, especially for people with yin deficiency constitution.

However, people with poor physical fitness may need moxibustion every day in a short time, and if it is only daily health care, it is recommended to moxibustion once every 3 to 4 times.
