Precautions for moxibustion for vaginitis

1. Adjust the temperature yourself. It is better if the temperature is slightly hot. If it just feels warm, the effect will be very poor. If it's too hot, move it away from the water or it will bubble up.

2. After moxibustion, it is best if the skin appears flushed.

3. If there is moisture in the body, there will be a lot of water on the skin after moxibustion, which indicates that the moisture has evaporated, which is very beneficial to the human body.

3. Avoid taking a bath or touching cold water within 1 hour after moxibustion.

5. Women should not use moxibustion during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. If the inflammation is severe, you must seek diagnosis from a professional Chinese medicine practitioner and then treat other acupoints together. If a woman without a basic knowledge of Chinese medicine uses this method for treatment, it is best to do so under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner to avoid moxibustion of the wrong acupoints and failure to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
