Where to perform moxibustion for a cold with a runny nose?
The early stage of a cold is generally due to the invasion of pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, and dampness. After being affected by these pathogenic factors, vulnerable parts of our head, like our nose, can be affected, causing nasal discharge. To treat this, moxibustion can be applied. The key points for moxibustion include firstly a very effective local point called Yingxiang acupoint, which is located on both sides of the nose. Moxa sticks can be used for suspended moxibustion, but care must be taken not to burn the patient. After performing it on one side, it should be done on the other side, and alternated between the two. The patient will immediately feel their nose clearing up and nasal discharge will reduce. Additionally, the Yintang acupoint can also be treated with moxibustion. Doing moxibustion on both Yingxiang acupoints and the Yintang acupoint is very effective in alleviating the symptoms of nasal discharge due to a cold.
