After eating, moxibustion can be performed about one hour later. The effect of moxibustion is better when the qi and blood in the human body flow smoothly. After eating, the blood in the body will concentrate on the digestive system, and the qi and blood in other parts will flow weakly. Therefore, moxibustion cannot be performed immediately after eating. One hour after eating, the food has been preliminarily digested, and the movement of qi and blood in the body will gradually return to balance. At this time, moxibustion treatment can be performed. Generally speaking, moxibustion cannot be performed immediately after eating. It usually takes 1-2 hours, and moxibustion can be performed when the digestion in the abdomen is completed and the blood is redistributed evenly throughout the body. 1. Actually, there is no specific fixed time for moxibustion. It can be performed at any time. Before or after meals, morning or evening are both fine. Just don't be too hungry before meals, and you can perform moxibustion half an hour to one hour after meals. It's not advisable to perform moxibustion when you're too full or too hungry. 2. Avoid moxibustion immediately after eating. At this time, the blood in the human body is concentrated in the gastrointestinal system. It is recommended to rest and avoid other exercises and treatments. If you want to perform moxibustion, it is better to wait for one hour after eating! 3. Because food needs qi and blood to digest in the stomach, moxibustion will cause qi and blood to flow to other parts, resulting in slow qi and blood circulation and prone to abdominal distension.
