Introduction
Mud moxibustion refers to a therapeutic method that involves applying medicated mud with heat and stimulation to specific areas of the body to treat and prevent diseases. The correct procedure for mud moxibustion involves disinfecting the affected area first, then applying the medicinal mud and irradiating it with a molecular biolight lamp to achieve therapeutic effects. It is recommended to undergo mud moxibustion at a正规 medical institution under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals.
Generally, mud moxibustion refers to a therapeutic method that involves applying medicated mud heated and pressed onto specific areas of the human body to treat or prevent diseases through thermal stimulation. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Verify the patient's information before mud moxibustion, confirm indications and contraindications, and turn on the molecular biologic lamp for preheating.
2. Disinfect the treatment area with 75% alcohol.
3. Select appropriate herbs according to the patient’s condition, grind them into fine powder, and mix with ginger juice, medicinal wine, or other agents to form a paste.
4. Use a scraping tool to apply the herbal mud onto the affected area, then cover the mud with a disposable plastic film.
5. Position the preheated molecular biologic lamp above the treated acupoint or area to provide heat.
6. After 20 minutes, remove the molecular biologic lamp, take off the plastic film, clean off the medicinal mud, and complete the procedure.
During mud moxibustion, care should be taken to avoid excessive heat that may cause skin burns or local blistering. It is recommended to undergo mud moxibustion at a正规 medical facility under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals.
