Acid reflux is usually not caused after proper moxibustion of the navel under the guidance of a doctor.
The navel is where the Shen Que point is located. Located in the center of the umbilicus, Shen Que point has the effect of returning yang and fixing prolapse (treating prolapse-type diseases by replenishing yang qi) and tonifying the lower elements (nourishing the kidneys).
Shen Que point is used to treat prolapse, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, dysentery, constipation, prolapse, edema, and urinary dyspareunia (unruly urination). Correct moxibustion of Shen Que points can provide some relief for the above conditions.
However, it may cause acid reflux if the patient is not suitable for treatment with moxibustion or if the moxibustion is not done correctly, etc.
Prompt medical attention is recommended for any discomfort. If moxibustion is needed, it is recommended to go to a professional medical institution.
