How do you do it at home?

Moxibustion at home usually includes hanging moxibustion, indirect moxibustion, and instrument moxibustion.

1. Hanging moxibustion

patients can hold moxa sticks in their hands and shake them back and forth. The temperature needs to be adjusted manually according to the distance between the moxa sticks and the skin. When the moxa sticks burn to a certain extent, the moxa ashes can be flicked off and then moxibustion can be performed to prevent them from falling on the skin.

2. Indirect moxibustion

patients can put ginger slices where moxibustion is needed, insert small holes in the ginger slices, and put moxa wool or moxa pillars on the ginger slices to relieve discomfort.

3. Instrument moxibustion

patients can also use clips to hold moxa sticks or use electric instruments to moxibustion, which can also achieve the purpose of moxibustion.
