Where should I use moxibustion for children with cold and cough

If a child has symptoms of a cold and cough, you can choose to take medicine, but children generally do not like to take medicine, and the effect of giving medicine to babies is not very obvious, so some parents will choose to give their babies moxibustion. Moxibustion can treat cold symptoms very quickly, and the effect is also very obvious, but if you want to treat a cold, you must choose the right acupoints. Let’s take a look at where to moxibustion for children with colds and coughs?

Acupoints for moxibustion for children's colds: Dazhui, Feishu, Fengmen, Tiantu, Shenque, Zusanli, Yongquan, Yingxiang, Yintang, and Taiyang.

Moxibustion time: Gentle moxibustion on Dazhui, Feishu and Shenque for 20 minutes, and suspended moxibustion on other acupoints for 10 minutes.

If your child has a cold, fever, and clear runny nose, choose moxibustion on the Dazhui, Feishu, Fengmen, Shenque, Zusanli, and Yongquan points. Or it is also good to reduce fever by moxibustion on the Yongquan acupoint after soaking your feet.

If your child has a cold, fever, runny nose, headache, or nasal congestion, choose moxibustion on the Dazhui, Feishu, Fengmen, Shenque, Yingxiang, and Yintang points.

If a child has a cough in addition to the above symptoms when having a cold, be sure to add the Tiantu point. If he has stomach discomfort, add the Zhongwan point and Zusanli point.

Some children have good constitutions, so they may only need to use moxibustion on a few acupoints, and good results may be achieved after one or two times. However, some children have poor constitutions, so even if all the acupoints are moxibustioned and they have been moxibustioned for several days, not only will there be no effect, but the effect may even be worse. This only shows that your constitution is too poor and the evil spirits in your body are too strong. But as long as you persist in using moxibustion, it will definitely get better. And you will find that if you take 5 days to get better after using moxibustion for this cold, then the next time you get a cold, you will get better after 4 days of moxibustion.

Moxibustion not only treats diseases, but also improves our body's resistance while treating diseases. This is the difference between moxibustion and taking medicine or injections.

The environment our children live in now is too bad. Nothing they eat, drink, breathe or wear is safe. Our children's bodies are so delicate, how can they withstand such harm. Although we are aware of these dangers, we cannot avoid them. So we can only improve our own resistance. Only when our resistance is strong can we prevent these harmful things from invading our bodies.
