(1) Mild Moxibustion with Moxa Stick
Points: Tanzhong (CV17) and Tianjing (TE 10)
Technique: Apply moxibustion for 15 to 30 minutes on each point each time, until the skin turns slightly red. Treatment is given once a day, 10 sessions being one course.
(2) Indirect Moxibustion with Ginger
Point: Shenque (Ren 8)
Technique: With the patient lying supine, place a fresh ginger slice on Shenque (Ren 8), then perform moxibustion with moxa cones. Each time, five to seven moxa cones can be used. Once the moxa cone gets too hot, the ginger slice can be moved a bit until the patient can tolerate the heat.
