to avoid adverse effects on health. Mud moxibustion stimulates specific parts of the body through heat burning and ironing to achieve a certain therapeutic effect. It is prepared on the basis of traditional wax moxibustion, with the addition of mineral mud, saussurea involucrata, crocus sativus, eucommia ulmoides, loranthus parasiticus, and other traditional Chinese medicinal materials. It can help dredge meridians, promote subcutaneous blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, etc. Occasional mud moxibustion may not have a significant impact on health, and can even promote systemic blood circulation, improving symptoms such as body weakness, sore limbs, and other conditions to a certain extent. However, frequent mud moxibustion may irritate skin and mucous membrane tissues, accompanied by symptoms such as skin burning pain, skin redness, and other adverse effects on health. If patients experience discomfort after mud moxibustion, they should stop the treatment immediately and seek medical attention. After mud moxibustion, bathing should be avoided immediately to prevent external cold winds from entering the body through hair follicles, which may lead to symptoms such as runny nose, excessive fatigue, dizziness, and headaches. Additionally, a light diet should be maintained, avoiding overeating, and smoking and alcohol consumption should be ceased promptly.
