      Moxibustion is a method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. After moxibustion, our bodies will have different symptoms. Which symptoms are normal and which symptoms indicate physical diseases?

      Frequent urination

      Some people urinate a lot after moxibustion, which is also a sign of expelling toxins from the urethra. You should drink more water at this time. Don't worry, these phenomena will gradually disappear. Generally, frequent urination after moxibustion usually indicates that the kidneys and urinary system are not very good, and women may have gynecological problems.

      diarrhea

      Some people have loose stools, frequent loose stools, and extremely smelly stools. This is also a reaction to expel sick gas. Those who have this kind of reaction generally have gastrointestinal problems, or should pay attention to the occurrence of tumors.

      Sore throat, toothache, etc.

      Some people will have sore throat, toothache, etc. At this time, drink more water or cook some mung bean porridge to drink. In severe cases, you can stop moxibustion. After these symptoms pass, continue moxibustion. The above symptoms may still occur. Generally, after repeated several times, there will be no symptoms of getting angry.

      fever

      This kind of symptom usually occurs in people who are new to moxibustion. It doesn't matter. Drink more water, and you can use moxibustion and scraping cups on the Du Meridian and Bladder Meridian to reduce fever and lower the fire.

      Existing chronic diseases will recur

      When the vital energy gathers in the organs after moxibustion, the disease will often find its own way out. These exits are not necessarily designed by us, but are the paths that the disease is accustomed to. However, the elimination of disease is not dependent on our will, it will find its own way out.

      sweating

      It is a manifestation of skin detoxification, that is, you feel sweaty during moxibustion and sweat after moxibustion. This phenomenon may last for several days or longer.

      rash

      When some people sweat for a period of time, they will start to develop red rashes and hard pimples, which is also a manifestation of detoxification. Generally, if moxibustion is continued, the red rashes will slowly disappear. Hard pimples can also disappear slowly after moxibustion and massage. This is also a phenomenon of skin detoxification.
