Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Wouldn't Ching Wan Hung help with the scab/scar problem? - gerard dennis I have a question on moxibustion. Normally when I use moxa on a needle for my patients it leaves a small scab or scar. (I normally insert the needle then put the moxa on and light it and let it burn till the patient feels the heat to be unbearable which is about 10 to 15 minutes). Most patients are not happy about the scar even though the therapeutic results are good. Does anyone know how I can avoid the scab /scar formation/ Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi Jessica, One of the things you can do for lessening of a scar and in some cases maybe even disappear is using vitamin E. Rub it on the scar and watch it work, or, have the patient use it for themself. It works. I use it and I had a scar that was deep for many years and now is almost gone.
