Is moxibustion the most effective treatment for eczema?

Eczema is a skin disease that affects people's lives. This disease is very harmful to people's health. It can cause large areas of redness and swelling of the patient's skin, countless small bumps, etc., and it brings extremely itchy feelings to the patient, which is unbearable. There are many ways to treat eczema. Among them, is moxibustion for eczema the most effective? Let’s take a look at the relevant explanations below.

The most effective way to treat eczema is acupuncture and bloodletting and moxibustion, combined with diet. For example, you can make rice paste and put ingredients such as yam, coix seed, black beans, black sesame seeds, red dates, and wolfberries in it. Soak it the night before and make it into rice paste the next morning. It is also very important to avoid certain foods during the treatment process. Avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol. Exercise, good sleep and a good attitude are also very important.

Bleeding by acupuncture is a process of replacing old blood with new blood in the body, thereby expelling diseased blood and producing fresh blood. Acupuncture and bloodletting on the Du meridian and bladder meridian can effectively strengthen the body's positive energy and eliminate dampness. If the amount of bleeding is small, do it again after 3-5 days. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, do it again after a week or ten days. Depending on the patient's condition, bloodletting can be performed 3-5 times. In addition, Quchi, Xuehai, and the lesion area should also be pricked and bloodletting should be done. It is important to puncture and bleed the affected area. If the toxic blood under the skin is not cleared out and fresh blood is not involved in the circulation, it will be difficult to repair.

After pricking the affected area for bloodletting, cupping is performed and then moxibustion is applied. Simply applying moxibustion to the affected area is not enough, because there is too much dampness in the body and the vital energy cannot nourish the skin, so moxibustion is also needed to correct the acupoints to replenish your body with positive energy. Therefore, moxibustion should be added to Quchi, Hegu, Xuehai, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Yongquan.

You can also use white vinegar and moxa ash to apply to the affected area, but the moxa ash must be of better quality. Only if the moxa stick is a good one can you use this kind of moxa ash. Therefore, when treating skin diseases, if you find signs, you must seek timely treatment to avoid a disastrous situation.
