Auspicious signs of disease improvement after moxibustion (including the phenomenon of disease rebound)

After moxibustion, there are signs that the condition is improving.

Moxibustion is a simple, easy-to-perform, and effective method in Traditional Chinese Medicine for preventing, adjusting diseases, and promoting health and longevity. Many people use moxibustion to treat diseases, but the feelings of each person are different. Some people feel very obvious and effective quickly, while others are slower to take effect. The strength of the moxibustion sensation generally represents the degree of blockage in the meridians. Having a sensation and a strong one indicates that the body's meridians are unobstructed, and the effect is immediate; not having a sensation does not mean there is no effect, but it indicates that there is a serious accumulation of evil Qi in the meridians, which needs some time to disperse and unblock, and the effect will be slower. What are the reactions of the body after moxibustion? What signs indicate that the disease is improving? Let's introduce in detail for everyone:

1. Sweating all over or half of the body during moxibustion, which is mostly deficiency and cold, and belongs to the phenomenon of evil toxins being expelled. Generally, continuing to apply moxibustion several times can alleviate this.

2. Itching during moxibustion is mostly wind, deficiency, and dampness.

3. The body trembles during moxibustion, which is mostly a liver meridian problem and belongs to the reason of unsmooth meridians.

4. During moxibustion, the legs, shoulders, neck, and feet emit wind or cool air, which is mostly the reason for the expulsion of cold or wind.

5. During moxibustion, the heat can reach the abdomen or lower limbs, which is mostly a deficiency and cold constitution, and is a sign of improvement.

6. Blisters appear after moxibustion. In ancient times, it was called "moxibustion flowers," which is a manifestation of the expulsion of dampness or other toxins. Small ones do not need to be treated, and large ones need to be drained and reduced under strict aseptic operation, and attention should be paid to the dressing and infection prevention after drainage. (For specific treatment, see the "Post-Moxibustion Reactions and Treatment Methods" in the Moxibustion Encyclopedia)

7. Red rashes appear locally after moxibustion, mostly appearing 2-3 days after moxibustion, which is mostly a good reaction of dampness expulsion.

8. After moxibustion, the wound is itchy, red, swollen, and purulent, which belongs to the phenomenon of dampness (or cold) expulsion at the wound, and is a good reaction.

9. After moxibustion, there is a feeling of wind or numbness coming out of the knee, which belongs to the phenomenon of wind evil (or dampness) expulsion.

10. After moxibustion, there is no heat and no sensation, which is mostly a manifestation of the body's meridians being blocked and unobstructed, or the body is very good.

11. Diarrhea after moxibustion, without the manifestation of Qi deficiency, belongs to the reaction of detoxification.

12. Constipation after moxibustion is mostly due to Qi and blood deficiency or internal heat, which can be relieved by drinking more warm boiled water after moxibustion.

13. After moxibustion, there is back pain and waist pain, which belongs to the reaction of "Qi rushing to the lesion." Qi and blood unblock the depression point, which was not felt before, but now there is a feeling, which is mostly an old injury in the body.

14. After moxibustion, there is dizziness and insomnia, which is mostly due to the abundance of Qi and blood, and the reaction of rushing to the head.

15. After moxibustion, the menstrual cycle is delayed or advanced, which belongs to the process of meridian adjustment, and is a good reaction. It does not affect the later menstrual cycle and can be continued with confidence.

16. When treating breast hyperplasia with moxibustion, some people will have pain and ant walking sensation. Pain belongs to the process of resolving blood stasis and dispersing the knot, and the ant walking sensation is the process of Qi and blood running and expelling the evil toxin.

17. After moxibustion, there is internal heat. After moxibustion, there will be a phenomenon of dry mouth and tongue. This indicates that the body's Yin and Yang are adjusting, and Yin is not better than Yang. At this time, it is important to pay attention to drinking more warm boiled water. Sometimes there are various inflammations diagnosed by Western medicine, because the evil is gradually expelled, and the place where inflammation appears is exactly where the evil is being expelled. At this time, continue to apply moxibustion until the evil is completely expelled from the body.

II. The phenomenon of disease rebound during moxibustion

In the process of moxibustion, some people feel effective quickly, while others take a long time to be effective. In fact, the effectiveness depends on what the disease is and how long the course of the disease is. In addition, people's constitutions are different, and we cannot measure all diseases with one ruler. It is normal to have a rebound phenomenon. The more times the disease rebounds, the more it proves the state of struggle of the evil remaining, and it also reflects that the right Qi is accumulating bit by bit. We must persist in moxibustion. Or after the rebound phenomenon appears, consult a professional to judge the condition of the disease.
