ABSTRACT

Several type M3 and type S patients have reported bloating of the abdomen and nausea after GIR treatment sessions. This is more likely to happen when patients are treated several times using the same methods. Smoked moxa is usually very hot on the abdomen, but these individuals do not feel the sensation of heat during several of the sessions. However, when they start feeling the skin sensations, they also become bloated and nauseous. Should this discomfort occur, the treatment method is alternated and adjusted more often. It is relieved after several GIR sessions.
