What are the reactions of moxibustion on Shenque to expel diseases

As people's living standards improve, their awareness of self-care also improves. In recent years, health care stores have gradually become prosperous. There are many ways to maintain health, among which moxibustion is an essential health-maintaining project. Almost every health-maintaining center has it, and its effect has been recognized by everyone. So what are the benefits of moxibustion? Which acupoint is better for moxibustion? Shenque is near our navel. This acupuncture point is a particularly important position in the human body. Moxibustion on Shenque can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. However, we need to remind everyone that due to the different physical conditions of each person, the disease-eliminating reactions that occur when moxibustion is performed on Shenque are also slightly different. Let's take a closer look at it below.

Skin flushing

It is normal to have skin flushing during moxibustion, because the heat from moxibustion stimulates the capillaries, causing them to dilate, thereby promoting faster blood flow. At this time, as long as you don't get cold, it will soon disappear on its own. Due to the heat of moxibustion, people will feel thirsty, which is a normal phenomenon. You can drink a few cups of warm water after moxibustion, which can not only relieve the symptoms of thirst but also help detoxification.

Moxibustion reaction

After moxibustion, different people have different reactions. Some people will have fever, toothache, tinnitus, nosebleed, dry and itchy throat, and some women will have too much or too little menstrual flow. In fact, this is normal. If these phenomena occur repeatedly, you can slow down the frequency of moxibustion and apply moxibustion every other day until the symptoms are alleviated, and then change to health-care moxibustion.

Moxibustion blisters and sores

Sometimes, if the person performing the moxibustion misjudges the timing and dosage, blisters will appear after the moxibustion, and eventually moxibustion sores will form. At this time, use a sterilized needle to prick it, use a medical cotton swab or cotton ball to absorb the liquid, and then put on a Band-Aid, but avoid friction with clothes. When the moxibustion blisters turn into moxibustion sores, disinfect them with alcohol cotton balls every day and absorb the pus on the surface. If the condition continues to worsen, you can first rinse with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding when changing the dressing.

Causes of diarrhea after moxibustion on Shenque

The body's Yang energy increases and circulates inside the body. Gastrointestinal function begins to recover, and the peristalsis of the large intestine also strengthens. The Yang energy dissolves the cold evil in the internal organs and meridians and excretes it out of the body. This may take the form of sweating, diarrhea, or increased urination. If it is diarrhea, it generally means that there is a problem with the gastrointestinal tract. After the Yin evil is dissolved, it will manifest itself in the form of diarrhea, just like snow melting into water looking for a normal way to excrete.

How to deal with diarrhea after moxibustion on Shenque

Moxibustion on Shenque, Guanyuan and Zusanli can replenish vital energy, strengthen positive energy, and expel external evils such as cold and dampness from the body as soon as possible. If you collapse due to diarrhea and have other symptoms such as vomiting, you will need to take some medication. If you are dehydrated, you should drink some sugar and salt water, adding appropriate amount of refined salt and sugar to warm water.

Precautions for moxibustion on the navel

1. Because part of the body surface will be exposed during moxibustion, you should keep warm in winter to avoid getting new diseases after curing old ones.

2. Be gradual. When using moxibustion for the first time, pay attention to the amount. Start with a small amount and small dose, such as using a small moxa cone, or moxibustion for a shorter time and with fewer treatments.

3. When performing moxibustion, you must pay attention to prevent fire, especially when using moxa cones for moxibustion, you must be more careful to prevent the moxa cones from rolling and falling off. After moxibustion with moxa sticks, you can put the lit end of the moxa stick into a bottle with a diameter slightly larger than the moxa stick to facilitate extinguishing.

4. It is not advisable to moxibustion the navel just after a meal or on an empty stomach. Pay attention to concentrate when doing moxibustion and do not be distracted during the process to prevent the moxa stick from moving and not being on the acupoint.
