Inflammation of the tonsils is mainly caused by bacteria and can be relieved by moxibustion. The acupuncture points for moxibustion can be selected from those with the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying the lungs, promoting pharyngeal swelling and nourishing yin, etc. Commonly used are the Hegu point, Dazhi point and Quchi point. When moxibustion, hold a lit moxibustion stick, aim at the acupuncture point, about 1.5-3 cm away from the skin, to feel warm and comfortable, avoid direct contact with the skin, resulting in burns and other side effects. The moxibustion can last for about 30 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. At the same time with anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling oral medication, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, light diet, the effect will be better.
