Patient's question:
Not feeling well, feeling unwell, can kidney atrophy be treated with moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
Patients with kidney atrophy can be treated with moxibustion, but it does not include kidney damage caused by hyperkalemia. Kidney atrophy is a common condition where kidney function is impaired or kidney blood supply increases, leading to swelling in the kidney area. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method that uses moxa (dried mugwort) to influence specific acupoints to achieve the purpose of disease prevention. It can be helpful in treating kidney atrophy.
