How long after moxibustion can you take a shower?

You can take a shower 2-3 hours after moxibustion. Moxibustion is one of the important therapies of Chinese traditional medicine, which has the function of unblocking meridians, warming Yang and dispersing cold, and relieving pain. After moxibustion, the patient’s qi and blood run faster, the pores are open, and some patients will sweat after moxibustion, so if you take a bath immediately, the evil of cold and damp can invade the body through the open pores and form new evil, which is not good for the patient’s health. Therefore, it is recommended to rest for at least 3-4 hours after moxibustion, and then take a bath after the qi and blood are running smoothly and the pores are closed. If possible, it is better to wait longer, such as moxibustion treatment in the morning, and wait until the afternoon or evening to take a shower, which is better for the patient’s condition and health maintenance.
