What is the cause of the rash after moxibustion?

Moxibustion is an important treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been vigorously promoted and plays an important role in weight loss and disease prevention and treatment. However, some people may experience abnormal symptoms after acupuncture, the most typical of which is a rash. There are many different interpretations of the rash, some of which are believed to be the body's detoxification reaction. So, what causes rashes after moxibustion? Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

The so-called rash after moxibustion are small red bumps that are itchy. Some people have local rashes after moxibustion, while others have rashes all over the body. So are these reactions allergies or detoxification reactions?

In fact, whether it is an allergy or a detoxification reaction depends on the situation. If this is your first time to do moxibustion, and you have rashes all over your body after a while, then it is generally an allergy. Because there is a reaction at the very beginning of moxibustion, a large part of the reason is caused by allergies, so don't do moxibustion at this time.

If you have this reaction after several moxibustion treatments, it is usually due to dampness and coldness or excessive toxins in the body. Some people will have local blisters and rashes after two or three moxibustion treatments. This is usually caused by excessive toxins in the body. In this case, if there are no other adverse reactions, such as difficulty breathing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other abnormal conditions, it is recommended to continue moxibustion, which will slowly disappear after a period of time.

The rash after moxibustion lasts for a long time. People who do moxibustion frequently may have it once every once in a while. In this case, you can do cupping or choose a plum blossom needle to prick your blood and detoxify.

Some people may develop a rash after a long period of moxibustion. In this case, it is recommended to continue moxibustion. At this time, the toxins are already on the body surface. Many people dare not continue moxibustion after developing a rash because it is itchy and they are also worried that it is an allergy. If you are really allergic, to be honest, it’s the first time you have an allergic reaction to moxibustion, it won’t take so long to become "allergic"!

Some people stop moxibustion when they encounter a rash, but I think this is a pity. The moxibustion finally showed a response, but then I stopped it. However, if red rashes appear, everyone will be worried. It is okay to stop moxibustion. If you continue moxibustion after a period of time, there will still be red rashes. Therefore, I personally recommend continuing moxibustion, but it depends on your own choice whether to stop moxibustion or continue moxibustion.
