Doing moxibustion may result in localized blisters and in severe cases infections. Moxibustion is a benign stimulation of localized skin and acupoints through the burning of moxa floss for the purpose of treating diseases. Moxibustion has the function of warming the menstruation and dispersing cold, eliminating stasis and dissipating knots, inducing heat to travel outward, supporting yang and fixing prolapse (treating prolapse-type disorders by replenishing yang qi), and preventing and treating health care. Clinically, moxibustion is often used to treat arthritis, frozen shoulder, stomach pain, dysmenorrhea, diarrhea, and disintegration (excessive menstrual flow or dribbling). A small percentage of the population may develop blisters after moxibustion, which is caused by too much time spent on moxibustion or moxibustion too close to the skin. If the blisters are left untreated infections etc. may occur. If you want to do moxibustion, it is recommended to go to the hospital and see a professional doctor to avoid any danger.
