What causes nausea after moxibustion?

Many people will experience different reaction symptoms after moxibustion. For example, some people are not very adaptable to this method, so they may experience nausea. Some people may experience fever or chills. In fact, this may be caused by choosing the wrong acupoints for moxibustion or the body's own excessive reaction to moxibustion. So why do you feel nauseous after moxibustion?

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and the same goes for people. And the same is true with our bodies. Moxibustion is a precious treasure left by our ancestors. It has the functions of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, dredging the meridians, regulating the functions of the internal organs, and can also speed up metabolism, regulate qi and blood, fade spots, enhance immunity, and improve health levels, thereby achieving the effect of health care. However, there are many taboos in the use of moxibustion. If it is not performed properly, it will also damage the human tendons. Moreover, after moxibustion, the performance after moxibustion will vary depending on the different internal body environments of each person, and even completely opposite phenomena may occur. Next, I will tell you about the different reactions of different people's bodies after moxibustion.

Here I would like to quote the health tips of two ancient people: The King of Medicine Sun Simiao said: If you want to have a healthy body, keep the Sanli acupoint moist! Li Zhen, a famous Confucian doctor in the Ming Dynasty, said: When acupuncture and medicine are inadequate, moxibustion is necessary!

1. The feeling of meridians running through is called "moxibustion feeling", also called qi, and it feels numb, which is a good phenomenon.

2. You will feel the heat energy rushing to the perineum. This is a good phenomenon, indicating that it has a significant effect on ovarian function. This is a phenomenon of opening up the Ren, Du and Chong meridians.

3. During the moxibustion process, you will feel a heat forming in the lower abdomen, and it can form an airflow with your consciousness, flowing back and forth in your meridians, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet. There will be different feelings of sourness, numbness, swelling, and pain in the places it passes through. This is a very good phenomenon.

4. After moxibustion, the complexion becomes rosy and shiny, and the skin becomes plump and moisturized. Spots fade quickly and acne disappears.

5. After doing moxibustion, people feel much better and more relaxed. Very good feeling.

6. Moxibustion is best when the whole body sweats slightly, especially the forehead, palms and soles of the feet. People who sweat easily must be weak. They need to boil water with 15 grams of Acanthopanax senticosus, 10 grams of Schisandra chinensis, 15 grams of Polygonatum odoratum, 10 grams of red ginseng, 15 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, and 10 grams of Saposhnikovia divaricata. Drink 150-200 ml each time, and drink frequently and slowly.

7. Some people will feel cold during moxibustion, and even feel a cool breeze after moxibustion. People with cold constitution will experience this phenomenon more often, so they should do more moxibustion.

8. Some people will feel a heat sensation during moxibustion. The heat in the abdominal cavity will spread to the lower back and move upward to Baihui and downward to Yongquan. This method can clear the meridians and has good effects.

9. Some people may experience a heavy feeling, which is normal and feels like being pressed by a large rock. This phenomenon indicates that qi and blood circulation is not smooth and the meridians are blocked.

10. If your stomach growls or you pass gas, it promotes intestinal peristalsis and helps eliminate foul air from the body. It is a very good phenomenon.

11. If there is oil in the abdomen or lower back, it means that the blood is viscous, the blood lipids are high, and there are too many toxins and garbage in the blood. This is a very good phenomenon.

12. You may not feel anything during the first few times of moxibustion, just a little heat, which means your meridians are blocked and your body is relatively cold.

13. When doing moxibustion, if the upper body is hot or only the lower body is hot, it means that the meridians in the half of the body that is not very hot are not very open.

14. During the moxibustion process, cold sweat may appear on the palms or soles of the feet, which is a phenomenon of expelling cold air. Then hot sweat may appear, which means that there is a lot of cold air in the body.

15. After finishing the treatment, you may feel dry mouth and discomfort in throat, which indicates that there is internal heat in the upper part of the body. If you combine it with shoulder and neck moxibustion, the therapeutic effect will be very good.

16. At the beginning of moxibustion, it feels very hot, but after a while it is not hot anymore. This is a normal plateau period. Also, it means that the meridians have adapted and you need to use high fire moxibustion.

17. Soreness, fatigue, and drowsiness (feeling sleepy during the day): The body is acidic, the blood circulation is poor, and the qi and blood are insufficient. The blood circulation speeds up after moxibustion, so people with weak constitutions will feel weak and sleepy during the first two or three times.

18. Rapid or irregular breathing, emotional instability, and heavy head: weak heart function, insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, and thick blood.
