Can children use moxibustion?

It is best not to use moxibustion on children, because this type of therapy requires a relatively high level of physical tolerance. The most important thing is that children are still in a stage of growth and development. As long as there is no problem with their body, there is no need to take any health-preserving measures to regulate their body. Also, do not use moxibustion frequently. If you use it too frequently, it will have a bad effect on the lungs.

1. The side effects of moxibustion mainly manifest in the wrong judgment of the body's constitution and the wrong selection of acupoints for moxibustion, which cause physical discomfort. It can be adjusted through the guidance of correct methods.

2. Moxibustion has the advantages of obvious effect, simplicity, ease, economy and practicality, and almost no toxicity and side effects. As long as the operation method is proper and the acupoints are accurately mastered, it generally does not produce adverse reactions to the human body. Moxibustion replenishes the body's yang energy and is especially suitable for people with yang deficiency.

3. Moxibustion has the effect of tonifying and purging. For people with Yin deficiency, hyperactivity of fire and fever, you should start with purging, nourishing Yin and then adjusting the balance of Yin and Yang. That is, the acupoints and methods of moxibustion are different.

4. If the operation is not done properly, it may cause discomfort, which will be understood as the so-called side effects of moxibustion. It is recommended to seek professional guidance. For example, a professional moxibustion health center.

5. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that combines physics and pharmacology. It is a green natural therapy that originated in ancient China. It is a method of treating diseases and maintaining health by burning moxa made from wormwood.

6. However, due to different physical conditions and symptoms, the initial application of moxibustion may cause skin flushing, moxibustion blisters, moxibustion sores, thirst, fever, fatigue, dry mouth, general discomfort and other reactions. Generally, there is no need to worry about them and they will disappear as long as the moxibustion is continued.

Long-term or frequent use of moxibustion can have adverse effects on the lungs, causing bullae, etc.

It is best not to cut the moxa stick as that would be a waste. It is best not to use water to extinguish it, otherwise you will have to wait a long time before using it next time. I would like to introduce a method that is both safe and convenient: find an empty small wine bottle that can hold 200 grams of moxa. When you want to extinguish the moxa stick, put the burning part of the moxa stick directly into the bottle mouth. It will be extinguished quickly in two minutes, and it will be easy to light next time you want to use it. Square bottles won't roll and are very stable. So it's very safe.
