What happens when there is water in moxibustion?

Moxibustion is used to remove moisture from the body. Moxibustion may also cause blisters due to excessive temperature of moxibustion.

1. Moxibustion removes moisture from the body. Moxibustion

stimulates acupuncture points or certain parts of the body to stimulate the activity of meridian qi. It plays the role of warming meridians and dispelling cold, promoting qi circulation and dredging collaterals, and promoting diuresis and eliminating dampness. If there is water locally after moxibustion, it is considered to be the manifestation of moisture removal from the body.

2. Burns

should pay attention to the temperature when moxibustion occurs. If the temperature is high, it is easy to cause burns. If it is shallow second-degree burns, blisters can appear on the skin surface.
