Patient's question:
Heart has not been good for over ten years. As I get older, I feel a tendency to soften. A colleague suggested implementing moxibustion, saying it has a certain effect on the heart. I wonder which acupoints should be used for moxibustion to treat heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The use of moxibustion for heart disease is how to rescue moxibustion? Generally, when using moxibustion to treat heart conditions, it is recommended to moxibustion local areas and acupoints such as Heart Shu (BL13), Jiuye (EX-HN3), Gaohuang (BL43), Tanzhong (CV17), Zhongwan (CV12), Neiguan (PC6), and Shenmen (HT7). Typically, acupoints on the abdomen and back are moxibustioned for 30 minutes to 1 hour, while limbs are moxibustioned for 10 to 20 minutes. If it's not possible to moxibustion all the points in one day, you can choose several acupoints to moxibustion each day, and the effect is the same as moxibustioning them all together.
