Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which stimulates acupoints by burning the heat generated by moxa and drugs to achieve the purpose of regulating body functions. Moxibustion itself will not directly exhaust qi and blood, but if used improperly or too frequently, it may lead to physical fatigue, weakness and other uncomfortable symptoms.
The following are some reasons that may lead to the depletion of qi and blood by moxibustion:
1. Over use: Frequent moxibustion may lead to physical fatigue, thus affecting the generation and circulation of qi and blood.
2. Improper acupoint selection: wrong acupoint selection during moxibustion or excessive stimulation of the same acupoint may cause adverse effects on the body.
3. Poor quality of moxa: using inferior moxa for moxibustion may cause the body to absorb harmful substances and affect the generation of qi and blood.
4. Too long moxibustion: too long moxibustion will lead to excessive fatigue of the body and affect the generation and circulation of qi and blood.
In short, moxibustion is an effective Chinese medicine therapy, but it needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors. When moxibustion, attention should be paid to the selection of acupoints, the quality of moxa, time control and other aspects to avoid adverse consequences. In case of physical discomfort, immediately stop moxibustion and seek medical advice.
