Moxibustion patches are not unfamiliar to health care enthusiasts. However, when it comes to the methods of using moxibustion patches, most people may only know about: hanging moxibustion with hand-held moxibustion patches, inserting moxibustion patches into portable moxibustion devices, and may not be aware of other methods. Today, here, I will introduce to everyone the various methods of using moxibustion patches.

The first method of using moxibustion patches: direct moxibustion

Direct moxibustion, simply put, is to apply moxibustion directly to the skin. In ancient times, moxibustion patches were commonly used for direct moxibustion on the skin. The moxibustion patch is cut into lengths of 2-3 centimeters, ignited, and then placed on the skin for moxibustion. During the process of moxibustion, the pain from the moxibustion patch must be endured. After moxibustion, a burn mark will remain on the skin, which is painful and affects the appearance, but the effect is undeniable.

The second method of using moxibustion patches: hanging moxibustion

Hanging moxibustion is the method of holding the moxibustion patch in the air above the skin for moxibustion. This is one of the commonly used methods of applying moxibustion patches today. Modern people pursue painless and aesthetically pleasing health care. Therefore, hanging moxibustion using hand-held moxibustion patches is often chosen. The method of using this type of moxibustion patch is to take a patch, ignite it, and hold it 2-3 centimeters above the skin, above the area to be treated. This distance is determined by the tolerance of the individual, and the duration of moxibustion is the same.

The third method of using moxibustion patches: vessel moxibustion

Vessel moxibustion, where the vessel refers to portable moxibustion devices, such as portable moxibustion sticks or moxibustion boxes. Moxibustion refers to the moxibustion therapy. That is, moxibustion patches are used for moxibustion therapy based on portable moxibustion devices. The practical effect of this method of using moxibustion patches is also very good. It is cost-effective and easy to operate, requiring only a small portable moxibustion device.

The fourth method of using moxibustion patches: object-separated moxibustion

The method of using the object-separated moxibustion is to place a layer of object between the moxibustion patch and the skin. The common method of using this type of moxibustion patch usually involves placing a layer of ginger slices, salt, or minced garlic, and the object used for separation varies depending on the specific treatment.
