The method of using the moxa stick is to place the moxa or medicine into the small bucket of the warming device during moxibustion, cover and fasten the lid of the warming device after lighting, or directly place it in the moxa stick bucket. Treatment can be applied to acupoints or areas that should be moxibustion. The warmth emitted by moxibustion can pass through the small holes between the metals. When in use, the moxa stick should be directly placed on the skin surface, with the skin of the moxibustion area as the standard.

When using the moxa stick for moxibustion, it is important not to keep it in the same area for too long and to roll it back and forth over the moxibustion area. The moxa stick cannot be used vertically or obliquely and needs to be placed horizontally directly on the skin surface. During moxibustion, the temperature rises quickly, and the temperature of the moxa stick will also rise. Therefore, after the fire is lit, the temperature of the moxa stick will increase, so as to avoid burns caused by excessive temperature.

Generally, it is sufficient to use 2-3 moxa sticks with the moxa stick at one time. After moxibustion, oil residue will be produced at the control mouth of the warming device, which needs to be cleaned regularly. Within half an hour after moxibustion, do not wash hands or take a shower with cold water. Moreover, moxibustion with the moxa stick is not recommended after eating or drinking, pregnant women are prohibited from moxibustion, and moxibustion is also prohibited on inflamed or damaged parts of the body. If blisters appear after moxibustion, it is important to protect the skin of the blistered area and avoid friction from clothing.
