Moxibustion and fire cans are two common clinical treatments, commonly used moxibustion method for hanging up moxibustion, indirect moxibustion; commonly used fire cans for flash fire method.
1. Hanging up moxibustion: one end of the moxa stick will be ignited, hanging over the acupuncture point or the affected area at a certain height, so that the heat is more gentle on the moxibustion site.
2. Indirect moxibustion: cut the drug into thin slices of 2~3cm in diameter and 0.3cm in thickness, and place them at the acupoints or the affected area with several holes pierced by needles, and then put moxa pillars on the slices of ginger to ignite the moxibustion.
3. Flash fire method: use hemostatic forceps or tweezers to hold 95% ethanol cotton balls. After ignition in the fire cans circled a few times and then withdrawn, quickly buckle the can on the site should be plucked.
Moxibustion and fire cans need to be operated by a professional doctor, do not operate on your own to avoid improper operation, resulting in adverse consequences.
