1. Be dedicated and patient.: When applying moxibustion, you must pay attention to your concentration and do not distract your attention during moxibustion, so as to avoid the moxa stick moving and not being on the acupoint, only damaging the skin and wasting time. You must persist for a long time, as occasional moxibustion will not achieve the expected effect.
2. Pay attention to the accuracy of body position and acupuncture points: On the one hand, the posture should be suitable for the needs of moxibustion, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the comfort of the posture, and the correct parts and acupuncture points should be found according to the prescription to ensure the effect of moxibustion.
3. Fire prevention: Many of modern people's clothes are made of chemical fiber, down and other materials, which can easily catch fire. Therefore, when performing moxibustion, care must be taken to prevent burning.
, especially when using moxa sticks for moxibustion, you must be careful to prevent the moxa sticks from rolling and falling off. After using moxa sticks for moxibustion, you can put the lit end of the moxa sticks into a bottle with a diameter slightly larger than the moxa sticks to facilitate extinguishment.
4. Keep warm and avoid heat stroke: Because part of the body surface needs to be exposed during moxibustion, it is necessary to keep warm in winter. At the same time, attention should be paid to adjusting the indoor temperature and turning on ventilation fans to obtain fresh air in a timely manner.
5. Master the procedures of moxibustion: If there are many and scattered moxibustion acupoints, the moxibustion should be performed in the order of first the back, then the chest and abdomen, then the head, then the limbs.
7. Pay attention to the time of moxibustion: Pay attention to the time of moxibustion. Do not apply moxibustion on an empty stomach before meals or immediately after meals.
8. It should be done step by step. When using moxibustion for the first time, you should pay attention to mastering the large amount. Start with a small amount, such as using a small moxa stick, or the moxibustion time should be shorter and the amount of moxibustion should be smaller. Increase the amount later. Do not use a large dose at the beginning. .
