Moxibustion Guan Yuan one year later

After one year of moxibustion at Guan Yuan acupoint, there may be positive changes in physical fitness, qi and blood balance, as well as skin burns or Yin deficiency and excessive fire caused by improper operation. The Guanyuan acupoint is located three inches below the navel and is the intersection of the Ren meridian and the Foot San Yin meridian. Long term moxibustion should be adjusted according to individual physical constitution to adjust the frequency and duration. After continuous moxibustion at Guanyuan acupoint for one year, individuals with constitution deficiency and coldness often experience a reduction in chills and an improvement in energy. Some women's menstrual cycles tend to be regular, and dysmenorrhea symptoms are relieved. Middle aged and elderly people may feel an improvement in soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, as well as a decrease in nocturia frequency. The warming effect produced by moxibustion can promote local blood circulation and have an auxiliary regulatory effect on chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, prostate hyperplasia and other diseases. Continuous moxibustion for more than 30 minutes a day may cause pigmentation of the acupoint skin, and those with scar constitution are prone to forming moxibustion sores. Long term moxibustion for Yin deficiency constitution may lead to symptoms of deficiency fire such as dry mouth and throat, insomnia and frequent dreams. When diabetes patients are insensitive locally, there is a risk of low-temperature scald. When moxibustion is applied on an empty stomach or when emotions are high before meals, a few people may experience dizziness, nausea, and other dizziness and moxibustion reactions.

It is recommended to conduct regular identification of traditional Chinese medicine constitution every year and adjust the moxibustion regimen according to seasonal changes. Drinking warm water before and after moxibustion can prevent damage to the body fluid, and combined with acupoints such as Zusanli can enhance the spleen strengthening effect. If skin blisters appear, moxibustion should be temporarily suspended and moist burn ointment should be applied externally. For those who continue to have symptoms of excessive heat, ginger separated moxibustion or reducing the amount of moxibustion can be used instead. Pregnant women should undergo Guanyuan acupoint moxibustion under the guidance of professional physicians.
