Is moxibustion therapy effective for diarrhea?

Yes, it is particularly effective for 'cold-type diarrhea' that results from a cold abdomen. Applying moxibustion to the navel (Shenque point) expels cold from the intestines, improves blood circulation, and stops the diarrhea.

뜸이 설사를 반드시 멈추게 하거나 복부 혈류·면역 기능을 회복시킨다고 보장할 수 없습니다. 급성 설사라면 먼저 수분 상태와 열·혈변·심한 복통을 확인하고 필요한 진료를 받으세요. 뜸을 고려한다면 화상 위험과 현재 증상·치료를 담당 의료진과 상의하세요.

배가 차다는 느낌만으로 설사의 원인을 냉성이라고 확정하지 않습니다. 한의학적 온열 접근은 증상 관찰과 선호도를 고려한 개별 상담 대상이지만 경구수분보충액이나 감염 평가를 대체하지 않습니다.
