I'm a Chinese medicine second goat, a clinical Chinese doctor, and the question itself is slightly problematic.

First of all Dampness needs to be looked at in a subtle way, basic cold and heat need to be differentiated.

Cold and dampness can do more moxibustion and is suitable for moxibustion.

And Damp-Heat would not be able to use moxibustion indiscriminately, to use need to be careful and grasp the degree.

Moxibustion warms the yang, disperses cold and dispels dampness, and is boldly used against cold and dampness without too much worry. Commonly used acupoints are in the epigastric cavity, qihai point, Guanyuan point, foot Sanli, three yinjiao and so on.

And what about Damp-Heat? Originally the heat is heavy, moxibustion needs to use the diarrhea method, that is, blowing large fire to moxibustion. Moxa moxibustion is better, not too long.

How do you differentiate between hot and cold?

Cold and dampness are heavy and afraid of cold, preferring warmth.

Dampness-heat is heavy, fear of heat and greed for cold, easy to have bad breath, smelly stools and constipation.

So if you want to get rid of dampness better, you need to clear the basic cold and heat, it's not a question of where to moxibe. It's easy to moxibe bad if you don't differentiate between cold and heat.

Moxibustion has many functions, in the life of timely moxibustion can achieve the opening of depression, dispel dampness, but also can replenish Yang Qi.

Heavy dampness can be categorized as cold dampness and dampness-heat

It is now springtime, when our body's positive energy appears to be insufficient or the body's immunity decreases, it will lead to various disease-causing factors, or external evils invade the human body and cause diseases. There are two kinds of dampness, one is external dampness and the other is internal dampness. External dampness is caused by wet weather, sitting and lying in the wetlands; internal dampness is caused by cold drinks, eating cold fruits and other cold things, damage to the human body due to Yang Qi.

In short, no matter which kind of dampness, it will cause people to have symptoms of loss of appetite, abdominal fullness and bloating, body gain weight and other symptoms of reduced digestive function, accompanied by a series of 'dampness and turbidity within the body' symptoms, such as mental depression, drowsiness, body sleepiness, and not wanting to drink water. People who are in an excessively humid environment for a long period of time or eat cold things, a little carelessness will easily cause dampness to enter the body and trigger dampness evidence.

So how do you know there is dampness in your body?

1. Getting up drowsy, weak and sleepy throughout the day

2. Drooling while sleeping

3. Greasy hair

4. Stool is sticky and not easy to flush clean

5. Low back pain, weak knees, no strength to go up stairs

6. Cold hands and feet (especially for girls)

So one has to ask, how does this moisture get out?

Let's move on to our main focus, moxibustion. The following points can be used to remove dampness.

Here is a piece of knowledge for you, what is the same body inch? It refers to certain parts of the patient's own body surface folded inch, as a measure of the length of the acupoint unit.

Place the index, middle, ring and little fingers together and measure across all four fingers as 3 inches.

[1], Guanyuan point: located 3 inches below the umbilicus, for health care and longevity point, there is cultivating the vitality, tonic lower Jiao Gong, where the vitality loss can be used. With moxa moxibustion 20-30 minutes can be.

[2], the vital point: in the second lumbar vertebrae under the spinous process, between the two kidneys, when the dynamic energy between the kidneys have cultivated the vitality and strengthened the waist and knees. Life, refers to life, door, refers to the portal, for the fundamental energy, the portal of life. Moxibustion with moxa sticks for 20 to 30 minutes is sufficient.

[3], the middle epigastric point: located in the upper abdomen, the lower end of the sternum and the navel line midpoint (4 inches above the umbilicus, equivalent to the width of five fingers). It has the function of detoxifying the liver and nourishing the stomach, eliminating food and directing stagnation, relieving and treating stomach pain, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and other symptoms. Moxibustion with moxa sticks for 20 to 30 minutes is sufficient.

[4], Foot Sanli: on the anterior lateral side of the lower leg, 1 transverse finger from the anterior edge of the tibia (middle finger). Indications: stomach pain, vomiting, dysentery, choking and other gastrointestinal disorders. Lower limb impotence paralysis, palpitation and insomnia. Moxibustion with moxa sticks for 20-30 minutes is sufficient.

The Do's and Don'ts of Moxibustion

1, pregnant women's abdomen and waist not moxibustion

2, female menstruation caution moxibustion

3, too hungry, too full, too much labor, drunkenness, etc. can not moxibustion

4, where high fever, a large number of vomiting blood, stroke closed evidence and liver and Yang headache, generally not suitable for moxibustion therapy, but not absolutely.

Moxibustion points have to be combined properly to work, as well as being related to the materials used for moxibustion, the quality of the human body, the length of the moxibustion period, and the degree of mastery of the moxibustion technique.

Thank you for the invitation and I hope my answer helps.

First, you can perform moxibustion at the Quchi, Hegu, Xiexi, Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao, and Zhongjiao points to dispel dampness.

1, Quchi acupuncture point: Quchi is located at right angles to the elbow, the midpoint of the line between the radial end of the transverse stripe of the elbow and the upper ankle of the humerus.

2, Hegu Acupuncture point: Hegu in the back of the hand between the 1, 2 metacarpal bones, about the midpoint of the radial side of the second metacarpal bone.

Secondly, there are 2 main points when moxibustion:

1、According to the physician's guidance to do moxibustion to dispel dampness

Moxa is a warming herb, the use of moxa made of moxa has the effect of warming yang qi, dispersing cold and removing dampness, etc. It is suitable to be used for toning the body and treating chronic diseases, and moxibustion is usually carried out under the guidance of a doctor, who will carry out a course of treatment according to the individual's condition.

2. Preferably no later than 11 o'clock.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, in our traditional concept, the Zi Hour, that is, around 11-1 pm, is the heaviest yin time of the day, and moxibustion is warming yang therapy, with which it conflicts, and moxibustion at 11:00 p.m., and then wash up after it is relatively late, the body does not get good recuperation, is not in line with the concept of traditional Chinese medicine health, therefore, go to do moxibustion is best to choose to do it in the daytime when the most yang energy Conducted.

Finally, it is normal for a layer of water to come out of the abdomen with moxibustion.

1, moxa is warm, do moxibustion is warm stimulation, will lead to local metabolism accelerate, local sweat, water gas is normal, as long as there is no itchy skin and other problems on the line.

2, moxibustion after the abdominal water may also be heavy body moisture caused by heavy moisture crowd usually work and rest must be regular, pay attention to a balanced diet, and actively participate in physical exercise to improve the quality of the body.

Mainly moxa burns Shencui points and the six life gate points

Dampness is a very common phenomenon in life, it can be said that many people have more or less dampness in the body, once the dampness is heavier, it will have an impact on our body. We can understand the degree of dampness through many aspects, look at the shape of the person, generally speaking, fat people have the existence of water dampness symptoms. Look at the person's state, dampness heavy people will be lazy activities, and the presence of unclear mind and other symptoms. In addition to this play hungry, you can also observe the appetite and stools, etc..

Which part of the moxa is the best to get rid of dampness? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, moxa is a very good way to get rid of dampness, but in the moxa, moxa parts have certain precautions.

Want to get rid of dampness is best to moxa hot body four points, these four are: Fenglong point, this position in the calf before the lateral parts, moxa hot this part can get rid of dampness, there is a certain effect of phlegm.

Foot Sanli point, three inches below the eye of the outer knee, moxa burns this part, can dredge the wind and eliminate dampness, but also can play a certain function of regulating the spleen and stomach.

The Zhongshi point, above the navel, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach. Quchi point, at our elbow, can help drain dampness and heat from the large intestine.

First: there are many acupoints to get rid of dampness, moxibustion Guanyuan can get rid of dampness, moxibustion foot Sanli can also get rid of dampness, moxibustion in the middle of the epigastrium can also get rid of dampness.... It can be said that dampness is a Yin evil, moxibustion warm, cold hot. Moxibustion of these places can get rid of dampness.

Second: How to choose? Why do you get rid of dampness? Because you have discomfort. Then if it is often diarrhea dampness, moxibustion in the middle of the foot Sanli. Feeling poor energy, frequent urination can moxibustion Guanyuan. And so on. That is to say, you also have to choose according to the specific condition or symptom.

Third: moxibustion health care commonly used points, foot Sanli, in the epigastric region, Guanyuan, the fate of the door, etc., even if there is no disease can also be moxibustion.

Fourth: If there is really uncomfortable, moxibustion is mainly suitable for cold body, if the dampness and heat is not necessarily suitable. You can't just count on moxibustion, you can doctor's judgment, whether to take Chinese medicine or moxibustion and so on.
