See below for more information. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of hours to get a lot more. If you are because of suspension moxibustion or mild moxibustion, moxa from the skin “ten miles away”, but also harvest one or two blisters, it can not be called a burn (because the fire did not directly burn the skin). Most of the time, moxibustion blisters are due to detoxification reactions, moisture, cold, meridians do not work and cause large or small blisters, is the body of disease and evil to the outside of the performance. The difference between moxibustion blisters and burns If you’re getting one or two blisters because of suspension or mild moxibustion, the moxa is “ten miles away” from the skin, which can’t be called a burn (because the fire doesn’t directly burn the skin). In addition, the blisters are not easy to distinguish between burns and moxibustion flowers. Can be understood as the initial did not feel hot, and then moxibustion blister, you call it moxibustion flowers, hot can not stand also suffer and blistered, or fire burned to their own, you call it burns bubble. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who have been blistered while doing moxibustion, and even septic infection and bleeding water, which is a very serious burn. So, how to avoid being burned in moxibustion? 1, environmental ventilation: the environment should be kept ventilated, to avoid moxa smoke too thick, harming the human body. The patient with respiratory system diseases, especially asthma patients should use moxibustion with caution. 2, the application of moxibustion parts: the application of moxibustion parts, pregnant women’s abdomen and lumbosacral area should not be moxibustion; face, five senses, the pubic area, the distribution of large blood vessels should not be direct moxibustion; head, chest, limbs at the end of the thin skin and more tendons can not be more moxibustion. 3, the quality of tools: choose a good quality moxa. Poor quality moxa, raw and not agglomerated, burning fire irritability, easy to make patients feel burning pain, and even smoked when the stone particles off, burning the skin. Also, use a moxibustion box. If you are afraid of being burned by the falling sparks, you can pop the ash from time to time. 4, pay attention to the number of times: strong, light, short duration of the disease, moxibustion treatment 1-2 times can be; poor health, heavy, long duration of the disease, moxibustion can be several months or even more than 1 year. When the first moxibustion, 1 time a day; long-term moxibustion treatment, 3 times after the change to 2-3 days a time. 5, to avoid burns: the application of moxibustion should be timely adjustment of the distance between the moxibustion fire and the skin. Some patients have a large local cold, when the first moxibustion, the tolerance of moxa fire, often unconsciously moxa fire close to the skin, the result will be skin burning pain. In fact, to moxibustion to the skin red as degree, each moxibustion 10-15 minutes is appropriate. What are the causes of moxibustion blisters? How to deal with moxibustion blisters? The actual reason for the blisters is 1, excessive moxibustion may be the moxibustion time is too long, the moxibustion amount is too much, this situation should reduce the number of moxibustion or shorten the single moxibustion time. If the body is not sick, it is recommended to moxibustion health points every 5-7 days, about 3-5 clocks per point. If you have a cold or flu, or if your body is cold, you can moxibustion the corresponding acupuncture points for a longer period of time, 5-15 minutes can be. Without illness, do not moxibustion every day, easy on fire (dry mouth, constipation, acne, nosebleeds, etc.). 2, detoxification reaction Normal people moxibustion is generally very little blistering, only a few percent of people will blister. However, for some people, cold and damp qi, etc., there is a disease qi to be eliminated, may blister. This is the most common cause of moxibustion blisters. The large or small blisters caused by heavy dampness and cold qi and the blockage of meridians are the manifestation of disease and evil in the body to the outside. The damp and cold qi belongs to the evil, Yang qi belongs to the positive, is about to force the evil out, there will be moxibustion flowers. The evil Qi needs a channel to be eliminated from the body, and the moxibustion flower is this channel. When doing moxibustion, especially direct moxibustion, sometimes blisters or even pus will appear in the moxibustion area, which is a manifestation of the outward discharge of evil qi. The blistering is the process of restoring the body’s positive energy and eliminating the evil, so the appearance of this blister is conducive to the healing of the disease. The ancient people proposed that the criterion for the effectiveness of moxibustion is the body’s response, and this response is the moxibustion sore, so the ancient people used the moxibustion sore as a major indicator to judge the amount of moxibustion and the effectiveness of treatment. Some people are prone to blistering, but as long as you insist, the previous bubble detoxification, plus moxibustion after a period of time, the meridians are also smooth, and then it is not easy to blister, and then later, it is deliberately remembered that a bubble can not start it. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of days to get a lot more. For example, one hand directly smoked the foot three miles with a moxa stick, the other hand playing with the phone. When I saw an exciting message, the hand with the moxa stick suddenly pinned to the meat. A squeaky sound of burning flesh and a big blister. However, if you are reaping a blister or two because the moxa is “ten miles away” from the skin because of suspension or mild moxibustion, it cannot be called a burn (because the fire does not directly burn the skin). How to distinguish between moxibustion blisters and burns blisters: already blistered is not very good to distinguish between burns or moxibustion flowers. Can be understood as the initial did not feel hot, and then moxibustion blister, you call it moxibustion flowers, hot can not stand also suffer and blistered, or the fire burned themselves, you call it burns blister. How to deal with moxibustion blisters 1, if the local blisters, as long as not rubbed, can be allowed to absorb naturally. However, if the blisters are larger, a sterilized milli-needle can be used to pierce the blisters from below, release the water, and then use sesame oil blended with mugwort ash; 2, the needle with alcohol disinfection, and then poke a small hole or several, with paper money to gently press out the water, and then suspended with moxibustion 5 to 10 minutes, once a day with moxibustion to several times, disinfection on the line. This treatment, well after the scar will not be too big; 3, below the blister with a sterilized needle puncture, let the water flow out, and then apply iodine or purple potion. Wrap with sterile gauze, remember not to use band-aids, and let the skin heal naturally. If it is itchy, scratch the skin to apply iodine or purple drops to avoid infection. From the color of the blisters to identify the body dampness 1, if the blisters are colorless, indicating that it is cold damp; 2, if the blisters are yellow, indicating that there is the performance of depression and heat; 3, if the blisters are blood-like, indicating that the body dampness and toxicity is very strong; 4, moxibustion place itchy, is the performance of the part is wind evil.
