Moxibustion is often done alongside acupuncture, and some acupuncturists also do moxibustion. You can try indirect moxibustion on your own, but it's safest to have a professional give you a demonstration first.
How often can you do moxibustion?
You will need to use moxibustion twice a day for seven days for ten minutes each time (morning and evening). Research has shown that moxibustion is most likely to work when the mother also spends ten minutes twice a day in what is called the 'knee chest position'. Your midwife will show you how to do this.
What are the side effects of moxibustion?
Some evidence of the risks of moxibustion has been found in these cases. AEs include allergies, burns, infection, coughing, nausea, vomiting, fetal distress, premature birth, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), ectropion, hyperpigmentation, and even death.
