What Should I Do If I Get a Blister from Moxibustion?

When moxibustion causes blisters, if the blisters are small, no treatment is needed and the skin will absorb them. If the blisters are large, they can be punctured to release the fluid, disinfected, and then bandaged. After puncturing, burn ointment can also be applied. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment. Moxibustion has the benefits of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, dispelling wind and cold, and strengthening the body.

1. If the moxibustion session is too long, small blisters may appear on the skin. These small blisters do not require treatment and will be absorbed by the skin over time.

2. Large blisters need to be punctured with a disinfected needle to release the fluid. Do not tear off the skin. Use a cotton swab dipped in an appropriate amount of iodine to disinfect the surrounding skin and then apply a bandage.

3. If you don't want to use a bandage, burn ointment can be applied to the affected area instead. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods.

4. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek professional medical treatment. Rest well and avoid local infection in the meantime.
