Moxibustion is widely used as a traditional Chinese medical treatment and has been passed down for thousands of years. One drawback is that the smoke produced by moxibustion may increase the burden on the lungs. Moxa smoke is relatively thick and prolonged use of large amounts of moxa is likely to cause lung damage.
Some people suffer from allergic asthma, so it is best to avoid using moxa. Be sure to ventilate when using moxa so that the smoke can be discharged smoothly. The burning of moxa leaves is easily irritated by the smoke, which can affect lung function or induce respiratory reactions. If the patient is intolerant to the smoke of moxa, it is not recommended to use moxa.
Also, even other patients who want moxibustion are only recommended for short-term treatment. You need to keep the room ventilated during moxibustion to avoid the bad effects of excessive smoke inhalation on the body, and to control the time of moxibustion.
It is recommended to go to a regular institution to be operated by a professional doctor to prevent burns.
