Netizens asked:
Teacher Feng Mingyu, I recently read some articles on mothers and babies. Some of them say that moxibustion is easy to form burns for children. Please ask the teacher, what is the best operation for the child's moxibustion?
For small children, especially those who are a few months old or even a year old or two years old, they have problems with burns during moxibustion. One part is the improper selection of acupuncture points, and the other part is that the parents or parents are not careful, or it can also be called too lazy.
Why? Later, I said to you that today I mainly share with you how to moxibustion, so that children do not burn.

Distance selection
May you be the parent of your child, and I believe that I am sure to be a beneficiary of moxibustion. Otherwise, I would not have chosen such a way to solve my child's problem.
In life, many friends are accustomed to holding moxa sticks, 2-3cm from the skin, and then directly moxibustion methods to adjust the disease problem.
The choice of distance is definitely different for adults and children, and the choice of distance here is one point: it feels that the temperature is suitable, gentle, comfortable, and there is a sense of heat.
Simply put: when you feel which distance is the most comfortable, choose which distance.
Warmth is a pleasure, and being too hot is an endurance.

Anti-scald prevention
Is moxibustion controlling the temperature well, and scalding can be avoided? Not necessarily, because the moxa ash holding moxibustion may fall off.
If your moxa is of excellent quality, the possibility of mugwort falling off is low, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
So, in order to nip this one in ten thousand possibilities in the bud.
For children about one year old, moxibustion can be placed on the moxibustion site with 1.2 layers of medical gauze, so that even if the ash falls, we can remove the ash on the gauze in time. No burns are formed.

Temperature sensing
Temperature perception refers to the time when holding moxibustion, we should put our fingers on the part of the child's moxibustion from time to time to feel the temperature of the moxibustion and the temperature of the child's skin.
If the temperature is high, then the distance is increased a little; if it feels that there is no temperature, it can be appropriately closer.
As long as you can grasp the three points, I believe that we are fully capable of avoiding the problem of children's moxibustion burns.
If you are not using hand-held moxibustion, but some other moxibustion instruments, then my request is a little, the child feels hot, adjust the temperature in time or take a temporary rest, do not force the child to moxibustion.
At the same time, you give the child moxibustion apparatus, you must use it yourself first, if you feel hot in the process of using it yourself, or even unable to control the temperature, you must be cautious about giving the child moxibustion.
