How to determine the time for moxibustion? There is a lot of knowledge here

Exquisite pig girls and exquisite boys pursue the ultimate in life. Their clothes must be stylish, their makeup must be beautiful, and their words must be cool. They pay attention to details and are unambiguous in their health care. If When doing moxibustion, the time must be accurate to the second to ensure the best effect of moxibustion.

We usually say that the duration of moxibustion is 10-20 minutes, but is this really a general rule?

In fact, the time for moxibustion varies from person to person. 10-20 minutes is just a relatively conventional time. The time for moxibustion on an acupoint is actually very flexible, which mainly depends on the individual. Physical sensations.

As for how to judge the time of moxibustion, there are still reference factors. Next, let’s talk about how to judge the time of moxibustion?

In the previous article, we mentioned what the moxibustion sensation is. The moxibustion sensation is something that can only be encountered but cannot be obtained. It is caused by the length of time of moxibustion and physical factors.

Some people will feel itchy, some will feel heat, and some will feel a little pain. When this feeling occurs, the moxibustion time should be appropriately extended to allow the entire moxibustion process to heal itself. Occurrence, growth, until the natural cycle.

This requires you to calm down and carefully feel the conduction and diffusion process of heat.

For example: When you moxibustion on the waist and Yang Guan, you will often feel a sensation of heat. The heat gradually penetrates from the lower back to the lower abdomen, like a belt. Or if you have stomach pain, moxibustion on the midriff and feet At three miles, the heat is conducted along the meridians to the stomach, which is warm.

When these feelings occur, you should take good care of them and give them a good moxibustion.

However, if these feelings do not occur, you don’t need to be too anxious. Some people have sensitive meridians and the moxibustion sensation comes quickly, while some people are born with delayed meridians, so the moxibustion sensation will be slower. As long as you persist in moxibustion, it will be effective. Yes, there is no need to deliberately pursue the moxibustion feeling, just let nature take its course.

When doing moxibustion, for the treatment of a certain disease, we will select two to three main acupoints and combine them with other auxiliary acupoints.

At this time, it is necessary to arrange the moxibustion time reasonably. The time spent on the main acupoints should be higher than that on the accessory acupoints, and the moxibustion should be done thoroughly.

For example, when we regulate the damp-heat constitution, we generally choose the water point as the main point, and the Tianshu point, Fenglong point, and Taichong point as the supporting points.

At this time, the water point is opposite It is said that the moxibustion should be longer, about 20-30 minutes, and other acupoints should be moxibustion for 10-20 minutes, depending on the situation. Matching the primary and secondary, the effect complements each other!

What was mentioned before is the length of moxibustion time for an acupoint, so how is the moxibustion cycle determined?

This mainly depends on the physical condition. If acute symptoms occur in the body, moxibustion needs to be continued during the outbreak period, and health moxibustion can only be performed after the physical symptoms improve.

For example, if you have a sudden gastrointestinal diarrhea problem, you need moxibustion once a day until it is cured.

It should be noted that if the problem is serious, seek medical treatment in time!

If it is a chronic disease, you must be mentally prepared for long-term moxibustion. For example, if you have skin allergies such as urticaria, you need to slowly adjust your physique and use long-term moxibustion.

It may be 1 month, half a year, or up to 1 year. There is no need for moxibustion every day. Moxibustion can be done every other day or one day off every two days. The time can be arranged flexibly.

Finally, I want to mention health-care moxibustion. At the beginning, moxibustion should be done every day, and then it can be appropriately reduced to once every two or three days. Mainly choose Neiguan point, Shenque point, Guanyuan point, and Zusanli point. acupoints, Sanyinjiao acupoint, Yongquan acupoint and other major health-care acupoints.

You can select 1-2 acupoints for appropriate moxibustion every day , when the body is full of righteousness, it can also be reduced to once a week.

If you keep at it, you may live longer than the Medicine King Sun Simiao. Oh, he too lived to be 103 years old with moxibustion in Zusanli all year round.

Another special mention is that the best time for moxibustion is from 5:30 to 7 a.m. In the morning, Yang Qi rises, which is a good time for moxibustion to replenish Yang.

In addition, moxibustion is not recommended after 8 pm. At this time, the yang energy begins to converge and the body is about to enter a resting state. Just fall asleep sweetly and leave moxibustion until the morning. .

Talking about moxibustion will not be effective. The key is to take action and let experience speak for itself. Over time, you will become a "moxibustion expert" yourself. Time can be easily controlled!
