Can I do moxibustion every day?

The duration of moxibustion treatment should be determined based on individual constitution and treatment objectives.

For chronic disease management: Initially, daily moxibustion may be administered for 7-10 consecutive days, followed by a 2-3 day break before resuming another 7-10 days. If significant improvement is observed after the initial 7-10 days, or if time is limited, alternate-day moxibustion or 2-3 sessions per week may be adopted.

Important Note: Moxibustion depletes bodily fluids and vital energy. Daily application may lead to internal heat and yin deficiency, undermining the health-preserving intent. Therefore, seek guidance from a qualified practitioner before beginning treatment.
