The terrible detoxification reaction after sitting moxibustion

Some people feel that their condition has worsened or have various uncomfortable reactions after moxibustion. In fact, in many cases, these are all reactions after moxibustion, also called detoxification reactions. In fact, for some people, moxibustion is a very good acupuncture therapy method, but some people are still worried about some unnecessary effects, especially when they have some reactions themselves. So what are the terrible body detoxification reactions after moxibustion? Actually see the detailed introduction.

What are the horrible body detoxification reactions after sitting moxibustion?

1. The detoxification reaction, also known as the body detoxification reaction

It refers to the change of a person's physical fitness or body function from good to bad, or the body's response when the body is clearing toxins. Therefore, it is also called the body's detoxification response or regulation response. Ancient people said, "If the medicine does not cause dizziness, the disease will not be cured." This means that if a person who is seriously ill or has been ill for a long time does not feel uncomfortable after taking Chinese herbal medicine, it means that the disease is not easy to recover. Many moxibustion friends will also have this kind of reaction after moxibustion, and there will be direct health effects, but there will be no celebrity-like reaction.

2. Causes of the dizziness reaction

The healthy Qi fights against the pathogenic factors, and the pathogenic factors are not afraid of difficulties. The healthy Qi does not give in, and when the struggle occurs, people will feel uncomfortable and even the condition seems to be aggravated. Once the healthy Qi prevails, the evil dampness will disappear on its own. People with major diseases, serious and long-term illnesses, or weak constitutions are more likely to experience a migraine reaction. The duration can be as short as a moment or as long as several months.

Nowadays, there is a slight reaction to Chinese medicine treatment, because most people judge a doctor's quality or effectiveness based on how comfortable they feel after treatment. Therefore, modern Chinese medicine practitioners like to use yin-replenishing medicines. Even if they are not used for the right treatment or are even misdiagnosed, there will be no obvious problems if the patient takes them for half a year or a year. The same principle applies to most Western medicines and intravenous drips. Antibiotics are mostly bitter and cold drugs. Even if you have a weak constitution, after a bottle of intravenous drip, you will feel much better, but your physical constitution will become weaker.

3. Differences between dizziness reaction and side effects

1. The duration of dizziness and vertigo is usually very short. If it is caused by misdiagnosis or excessive moxibustion, the symptoms may last longer.

2. The reaction of the dizziness usually ranges from severe to mild, and the degree of the reaction can gradually subside with the relief of symptoms, while the side effects range from mild to severe, and may even cause the condition to worsen. How can we distinguish that physical discomfort is not a deterioration of the body but an improvement of the body? The important thing is to see whether you are energetic and energetic.

3. For people with good physical fitness, the reaction to the drug is generally not very significant, but the side effects are different. Regardless of the good or bad physical fitness, toxic side effects will appear after use.

4. Common symptoms of dizziness and vertigo after moxibustion and their solutions

1. The condition worsens after moxibustion

This is most likely caused by insufficient moxibustion time and amount, or too weak body. The Qi is too weak, and everyone uses moxa to stimulate the Qi to expel the dampness from me, so I will resist stubbornly at first, so of course this kind of situation will occur.

Solution: When the dampness reaches the epidermis, the skin will undergo some changes. Cupping or bloodletting can be performed locally to expel the dampness in time.

2. Relapse

That is, you have had a certain disease before, but you haven't had it for many years, but the root cause has not been eliminated. Therefore, after a period of moxa treatment, the Qi will be restored and the old ailments will be cured. It is moxa treatment that helps the body to get rid of the problems.

Solution: pay attention to rest, improve nutrition, and continue moxibustion.

3. Runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion after moxibustion

After moxibustion, the Qi and blood are improved, and the evil in the body is transformed into positive energy and driven out of the epidermis. The lung opens to the nose. In order to resist wind evil, the true yang will be consumed a lot, resulting in insufficient lung qi.

Solution: Persist in moxibustion on the Dazhui point, and use a scraping board to clear the bladder meridian and lung meridian. Generally, persist for one day. After the kidney qi is continuously strengthened, these symptoms will naturally disappear.

5. Sweating after moxibustion

If you feel comfortable, then this kind of sweating has many benefits to the body. People with yang deficiency are unable to sweat, so sweating at this time is to excrete toxins. But if there are signs of weakness the next day, it means that the amount and duration of the moxibustion were too long.

Solution: moxibustion on Taixi acupoint, Zusanli acupoint and other yin-replenishing acupoints.

6. Abnormal menstruation and leucorrhea after moxibustion

Irregular menstruation: During the treatment process of moxa fire, some body fluids will be consumed. If the body's digestive function is weak or the water replenished is insufficient, the blood will be relatively weak, resulting in hallucinations. In addition, the first part of the body to be affected by moxibustion is the urinary system.

Solution: Appropriately reduce the time or amplitude of moxibustion, drink warm water before and after moxibustion, eat some yam, jujube, etc. to increase blood, and you will get relief.

Abnormal leucorrhea: This is due to the dampness following the meridians and the meridians being surrounded by the yin energy. After the Qi and blood are improved, the evil spirits are driven away, and in the process of the battle between good and evil, bacteria will temporarily grow, so inflammation will occur.

Solution: Keep your private parts comfortable, drink plenty of water, and eat light food.

The feelings of cold, heat, sourness, numbness, etc. after moxibustion are all called moxibustion sensation. People with severe dampness and cold are most likely to get cold wind after moxibustion, but the location is different. Most people will get cold wind from the soles of the feet, legs, shoulders, and head. People with severe yang deficiency will feel cold all over.

Solution: Be sure to soak your feet in hot water boiled with wormwood leaves and ginger to improve blood circulation and increase the position of the joints where the moxa is emitting cold air.

9. Blisters and sores after moxibustion

One is that the operation time is too long or the operation is not done properly. The other is that there is a lot of moisture in the human body, which is a good condition for the dampness to be discharged.

Solution: For ordinary small blisters, you can let them dry up naturally or wipe them with moxa ash. If the blisters are relatively large, it is best to have a professional perform the operation and puncture them with a needle. If the fluid in the blisters is found to be turbid and thick, it indicates that the moxibustion sore is infected and you should seek medical attention immediately.
