In modern life, the plant Airong is not everywhere. But pharmacies sell moxa sticks, and the health care function of moxa sticks is the same as that of moxa sticks. Let me introduce the usage of wormwood.

Functions and taboos of fumigation with wormwood.

Moxibustion is a very old way of health care. After thousands of years, moxibustion has continued to this day, and its efficacy and role can also be seen. Learn about the function and taboo of moxa stick fumigation with me.

Matters needing attention in fumigation of wormwood

Moxibustion is a very old way of health care, and there are many stresses in the implementation process. In addition to some taboos mentioned above, moxibustion can also be divided into local moxibustion and whole body moxibustion. Let's take you to know the precautions of moxibustion.

1. If you feel local discomfort (such as sprain and congestion, etc.). ), local moxa stick fumigation. Local moxa stick fumigation generally refers to abdominal fumigation, which has therapeutic effect on spleen and stomach weakness, qi deficiency, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, abdominal mass and so on. The number of moxa sticks is less than 4, and the treatment time is between half an hour and one hour. In the process of fumigation of moxa sticks, you can cooperate with proper kneading and patting. However, one disadvantage of local moxa stick fumigation is that it is easy to cause negative effects such as qi stagnation, excessive internal heat, chest tightness and irritability. Especially when the abdomen is smoked with moxa sticks, it is easy to make people feel irritable after a period of time. If this happens, it is necessary to cooperate with acupoint therapy, such as moving back and forth on the acupuncture points on the legs after abdominal evacuation, especially at the intersection of Zusanli and Sanyang, which generally lasts 10-20 times.

2. People who are weak and have a lump in their abdomen should drink a little ginger, red dates and longan soup before fumigation, which will help improve their immunity and get rid of abdominal congestion.

3. After the fumigation of moxa sticks is completed, it is best to eat a little beef and shrimp, which can further consolidate the effect of fumigation of moxa sticks from the diet.

In addition to paying attention to the above problems, the whole body should also pay attention to keep warm. Because of the whole body fumigation, the whole body skin should be exposed, especially now it is winter, and the warm-keeping work should be put in the first place.

5. Medicinal smoke will be produced during fumigation, which will make people feel very stuffy, so try to choose next to the range hood when fumigation.
