The question of whether moxibustion can be done at night will be explained thoroughly at a time
Hello everyone, I'm Ai Xiaojiu from Jiuxuan Ai.
The topic of whether moxibustion at night is good or not is one of the most frequently asked questions by many moxibustion friends.
Because people are busy with work now, and only have some quiet time to do their own things at night, most moxibustion friends spend their daily moxibustion in the evening.
However, we also often hear that moxibustion at night is not good, and there is even a saying: eat arsenic in the evening moxibustion competition.
As a result, the majority of moxibustion friends are confused. They have no time for moxibustion during the day, and moxibustion at night is not good.
Today we will talk about the topic of moxibustion at night from a professional point of view again.
"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" contains: in the middle of the day, the yang qi is prosperous, and in the west of the sun, the yang qi is already empty, and the air valve is closed, so it is rejected at dusk, without disturbing the muscles and bones... Combined with the practice of moxibustion, it means to reach It is not suitable for moxibustion at night. If it is moxibustion at night, it will be bad for the muscles and bones, and it is not suitable for health preservation! is that so?
From the concept of "harmony between man and nature", moxibustion at night is like eating arsenic. However, we should analyze the problem dialectically.
During the day, 9-11 am is the best time for moxibustion. However, most of us are at work during this time, barring holidays. Therefore, the best time for moxibustion is suitable for people who do not work.
In this busy society, moxibustion should be selected when there is sufficient time to treat diseases. When you have enough time, be calm and calm. If you have a good mentality and relax your nerves, of course, there will be good results.
No matter how good the morning is, if you treat the disease, you get angry, and you are in a hurry, there are many other things waiting for you to deal with after curing the disease. The effect of such a hurry will not be good.
After get off work in the evening, after eating as soon as possible, and then moxibustion for 1-2 hours, this is the best choice for moxibustion for working people.
Therefore, don’t worry about whether moxibustion at night is good or not, whether it can be moxibustion, whether it is harmful or not, just believe that moxibustion is better than no moxibustion, as long as you master some night moxibustion skills, moxibustion can be done.
Precautions for evening moxibustion
First, the evening moxibustion can be finished before 9 pm as much as possible;
Second, soak your feet or take a bath before moxibustion, do not soak your feet after moxibustion;
Third, compared with daytime moxibustion, the time should not be too long, and the acupoints should not be too many. Try to moxibustion on the acupoints of the abdomen and limbs before moxibustion, such as Dazhui, Baihui, Zhiyang and other large points on the back to enhance the yang qi, do not moxibustion, otherwise there will be It is very likely to cause insomnia.
So, what are the taboos of moxibustion at night?
21:00--23:00 is Hai Shi, which is also called "Ren Ding", which means that it is late at night, and it is the time when people stop activities and take a good rest. The Hai Shi is the time of the Sanjiao meridian. The Sanjiao meridian is in charge of all the qi of the human body and is the end point of the six qi circulation. When a person sleeps during the Hai period, the hundred meridians can recuperate and recuperate, which is very beneficial to the body.
Therefore, if possible, it is best to finish the moxibustion before 21:00. Not only moxibustion, but also some acupuncture, massage, and tapping on the meridians.
However, for some emergencies, the time should not be limited. Sometimes moxibustion is needed immediately.
Finally, I would like to tell you that there are many Ai friends who have received moxibustion at night when they get off work, and they have also received very good results. Therefore, everyone should decide on the treatment method according to different ages, different cultural backgrounds, and different physical conditions. Some acupuncture points on the face, vulva, anus, etc. are forbidden in ancient medical literature, but they are also conquered by our contemporary people today. Therefore, do not rest on your laurels, everything is progressing and changing.
