Moxibustion stimulates acupoints or specific parts through the generated moxa heat. The heat generated will open the local sweat glands in the body, at the same time, the blood circulation of the human body will accelerate and the body temperature will rise. When the body feels hot, it needs to dissipate heat through the open pores, which leads to sweating.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is through the efficacy of moxibustion that it enters the human body through the activities of meridians and discharges sweat and moisture accumulated in the body for a long time, so the water discharged by moxibustion is both sweat and moisture.

2 What is the reason for moxibustion blisters? Moxibustion has a certain temperature When the operation is improper, the moxibustion distance is too close or the moxibustion time is too long, it is easy to cause local temperature to be too high, causing burns and blisters.

Stimulation of Moxibustion Moxibustion is to stimulate the local area at a certain temperature, which can lead to accelerated metabolism and blisters at the moxibustion site. Generally, in the process of clinical moxibustion, there is no need to force moxibustion to blister.

3 Do you want to wipe off the water in the moxibustion area? You need to delete it.

After moxibustion for a period of time, there will be water at the moxibustion site. Inorganic salts, urea, lactic acid, fatty acids and other substances contained in these waters are as irritating to the skin as ordinary sweat, and it is not recommended to let them adhere to the skin for too long. So in order to avoid irritating the skin, you can wipe it off with a soft towel or paper towel.

If the range of water outlet is large, it should not be washed immediately after moxibustion, which may easily lead to cold invading the body along the pores that are not completely closed, causing discomfort such as colds. Therefore, after the water comes out, it can be wiped with a towel, and attention should be paid to keeping warm and hydrating during moxibustion.

How to deal with blisters in moxibustion depends on the situation.

If the blisters are small, they can recover by themselves without special treatment. Just pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin at ordinary times. If the blisters are large, you need to use a needle to release the water inside, and at the same time use some local anti-inflammatory drugs to protect the local skin from damage.
