Are the 50 Drainage Responses to Acupuncture Real?

Drainage reaction is the manifestation of short-term discomfort symptoms that occur during treatment. Moxibustion refers to a therapeutic method in which moxa cones or moxa sticks are made from moxa floss, which is ignited and then smoked or cauterized to give warmth and heat stimulation to the body’s surface points. At present, the response of moxibustion to disease elimination is not very clear. It should be noted that the duration of moxibustion should be gradual, and the number of acupuncture points should be applied from few to many, with a gradual increase in heat. Patients near the heart and large blood vessels and mucous membranes, less or no moxibustion, inflammation parts of the body prohibit the use of moxibustion treatment, pregnant women’s abdomen and lumbar-sacral area also belong to the prohibited areas of moxibustion. Moxibustion needs to be operated by a doctor, please do not operate on your own, which may lead to adverse consequences.
