Which part of the body is moxibustion applied for colitis?
For patients with colitis, moxibustion can be performed. How should the moxibustion points be selected? First, local points can be used, which are on the abdomen. Commonly chosen points include the Tianshu and Dachangshu points, as well as Zhongwan and Daheng. Moxibustion can be performed using moxa sticks with suspension or ginger separation techniques. For distal points, the Sanyinjiao point can be chosen, as well as the lower union point of the large intestine and the Shangjuxu point for managing chronic colitis. Additionally, the Gongsun and Yinlingquan points can be selected to regulate the stomach and intestines, achieving the effects of warming the meridians, promoting circulation, relieving pain, and balancing the digestive system.
