Which location to moxibustion for sore throat with cold

When you have a sore throat from a cold, the main acupuncture points for moxibustion are the Dazhi point, the Lung point, the Fengmen point and the Foot San Li. If there are symptoms of nasal congestion, add the Yingxiang point. If there is also a cough, add the Tian Tu point. If you have headache, you can add the Yin Tang point, which is the so-called identification point in Chinese medicine. Of course, you can also directly moxibustion the acupuncture points of Dazhi, Lung Yu, Fengmen, and Foot Sanli. The method of moxibustion should be noted that if you are holding a moxa stick, you can moxibustion each acupuncture point for 15 minutes or less, not too long. If you are using a moxibustion apparatus such as portable moxibustion or moxibustion hall, the time can be extended a little. Note that in winter the weather is cold, the skin’s sensitivity to heat will be reduced, so to prevent burns.
