How Do You Use Moxibustion To Treat Digestive Problems?
Digestive problems start to become the norm for many people as they get older. As people age, their stomachs are not as able to digest certain foods as they were when they were younger. This lack of digestive power can result in indigestion, bloating, heartburn, belching, gas and all around pain in the abdominal area after eating. In addition, when you have digestive problems, you cannot digest food as effectively, which means your body is denied the full benefits of the nutrients of the food you eat. Fortunately, you can use moxibustion to treat digestive problems. Lie down on a comfortable table and expose your abdomen. You will probably need to pull up your shirt and pull the top of your pants down slightly.

The smoking end of the moxa stick should be pointing toward your stomach and held about 1/2 inch above it. Wave the moxa stick slowly
