经曰∶灸之后，古人忌猪鱼热面，生酒动风冷物，鸡肉最毒。而今灸疮不发，用小鸡鲢
鱼食之而发者，所谓以毒而攻毒，其理亦通，亦宜少用为佳。
凡灸后切宜避风冷，节饮酒，戒房劳，喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐七情之事，须要除之。
可择幽静之居，养之为善，但君子志人不必喻也。

《内经》记载：艾灸之后，古人忌讳食用猪肉、鱼类、热汤面，以及生酒、动风之物和寒凉食物，其中鸡肉毒性最大。然而如今艾灸后疮口不溃破（灸疮不发），有人用小鸡或鲢鱼食用后促使疮口溃破，这属于“以毒攻毒”的方法，其道理也是通顺的，但适宜少量使用为佳。
凡是艾灸之后，务必避开风寒冷邪，节制饮酒，戒除房事劳损；对于喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊这七情致病因素，必须加以排除。可以选择幽静之处居住，以此调养身体最为妥善，但这番道理不必向普通人赘述。
针灸选取吉日，包括丁卯日、庚午日、甲戌日、丙子日、丁丑日、壬午日、甲申日、丙戌日、丁亥日、辛卯日、壬辰日、戊戌日、己亥日、庚子日、辛丑日、甲辰日、乙巳日、丙午日、戊申日、壬子日、癸丑日、乙卯日、丙辰日、己未日、壬戌日，以及建、除、满、平、定、执、破、危、成、收、开、闭十二值日中的“成日”、“开日”、“执日”。忌讳辛未日，因为这是扁鹊去世的日子。

The *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine) states: After moxibustion, the ancients avoided consuming pork, fish, hot noodles, raw alcohol, wind-aggravating foods, and cold items; chicken meat is considered most toxic. However, in modern practice, when a moxa sore fails to suppurate (failure of moxa sore to erupt), some individuals consume small chickens or silver carp to induce suppuration. This aligns with the principle of "treating poison with poison," which is logically sound, though it is advisable to use such methods sparingly.
After moxibustion, one must strictly avoid wind and cold, moderate alcohol consumption, and abstain from sexual exertion. One should eliminate emotional disturbances caused by the Seven Emotions (joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and fright). It is beneficial to reside in a quiet and secluded place for recuperation; however, this advice need not be explained to ordinary people.
Auspicious days for acupuncture and moxibustion include Dingmao, Gengwu, Ji Xu, Bingzi, Ding Chou, Ren Wu, Jia Shen, Bing Xu, Ding Hai, Xin Mao, Ren Chen, Wu Xu, Ji Hai, Geng Zi, Xin Chou, Jia Chen, Yi Si, Bing Wu, Wu Shen, Ren Zi, Gui Chou, Yi Mao, Bing Chen, Ji Wei, and Ren Xu days, as well as the "Cheng" (Establishment), "Kai" (Open), and "Zhi" (Hold) days of the Twelve Day Officers.
