What is Moxibustion Itching?

Moxibustion itching is usually caused by allergic reaction, high temperature, moisture discharge, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Allergic reaction

If the patient is allergic to Artemisia argyi contained in moxibustion, it will lead to increased vascular permeability of local skin and secretion of histamine substances, causing moxibustion itching.

2. High temperature

If the moxibustion temperature is too high, the soft tissue of local skin will contract, thus causing moxibustion itching.

3. Moisture discharge

If the patient opens pores during moxibustion, moisture in the body will be discharged, which will stimulate local skin and cause moxibustion itching.
