Does Moxibustion Fire?

Moxibustion may cause excessive heat.

Moxibustion uses moxa sticks to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of the body to activate blood circulation, warm meridians and dissipate cold. For people with heat constitution, a large amount of heat enters the body during moxibustion and cannot be metabolized in time. At the same time, if moxibustion is carried out for too long, it may also cause excessive heat accumulation in the body. If there is no moxibustion at the lower acupoints of the human body to help ignite the fire, it will also cause an increase in local hot air, resulting in excessive heat.
