Moxibustion treatment for eczema is based on clearing heat and removing dampness, nourishing blood and eliminating wind to relieve itching (stopping itching by eliminating the wind that has invaded the surface of the muscles). The acupuncture points of moxibustion include Quchi point, Blood Sea point and Yinlingquan point.
1. Quchi point: Because the pathogenesis of eczema is dampness and heat, and dryness generates wind, Quchi point can be used to clear dampness and heat. Quchi point is located in the epicondyle of the humerus and shakuzawa point (in the elbow transverse stripe, the biceps tendon in the radial edge of the depression) at the midpoint of the line.
2. Blood Sea Point: Blood Sea Point is located in the anterior femoral area, 2 inches above the medial end of the patellar base, at the elevation of the medial thigh muscle. The selection of the Blood Sea point can help to promote blood circulation and dispel wind.
3. Yinlingquan point: Yinlingquan point is located in the lower edge of the medial tibial condyle on the inner side of the lower leg in the depression between the medial edge of the tibia and the medial edge of the tibia. Yinlingquan point can be chosen to clear heat and relieve dampness.
The effectiveness of moxibustion in treating eczema is limited and results vary from person to person. If you have eczema, you need to go to the hospital in time, the specific treatment operation should be carried out by a professional doctor, do not do it yourself.
