Does moxibustion have any effect on menstruation?

In modern society, people attach great importance to health preservation, and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine is a very good health preservation method, and it has many benefits to the human body. However, due to different individual constitutions, different situations may occur after moxibustion, which is obviously normal. For women in special periods, such as menstruation, is it appropriate to do moxibustion to maintain health and regulate the body?

Delayed menstruation after moxibustion may be due to severe dampness and coldness in the body. After moxibustion, the medicinal effects of the moxa leaves penetrate into the body and travel along the meridians. If the dampness and coldness are severe, they may block the meridians and affect the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, the normal menstrual period may become abnormal, and some women will experience less menstrual flow or delayed menstruation. Everyone knows that moxibustion is a chronic process. Moxibustion can treat problems that Chinese and Western medicine cannot change. Don't worry if you encounter delayed menstruation or less menstruation. This is moxibustion adjusting the body. It is normal to have such a reaction during moxibustion. Good and evil will compete, and when the positive energy is insufficient and the evil energy wins, there will be a reaction, so adjust it slowly.

If this happens, you have the following options:

1. You continue to do moxibustion. As the moxibustion becomes more effective and the Qi and blood gradually become abundant, your menstruation will slowly return to normal.

2. If you are unsure and have doubts, you can stop moxibustion. If your menstruation is normal, then after stopping for 1-2 months, your menstruation will gradually return to your original state. What we need to remind you at that time is that your original treatment may be in vain.

3. Suggestion: If you encounter such a situation, I hope you will continue to cooperate with moxibustion, scraping, exercise, and have a good attitude. After a few months of moxibustion, moxibustion will slowly help you adjust your menstruation to the best state.

This process may be long, but as long as you are full of hope in your heart, don't be too anxious or worried. Everything will work out naturally, and with hard work, things will gradually get better.

Finally, I would like to tell you that there will be various reactions during moxibustion. Don’t worry, your condition will gradually improve if you continue with moxibustion.

Benefits of moxibustion:

1. Harmonize yin and yang. The balance of yin and yang in the human body is the root of the occurrence and development of disease. The tonifying and purging effects of moxibustion therapy are used to achieve the effect of harmonizing yin and yang.

2. Warm and unclog the meridians, and dispel evil cold. Mugwort is warm in nature and when burned and used for fumigation, the heat can penetrate deep into the muscle layer, warming the qi and promoting blood circulation. Moxibustion has the effects of warming and unblocking meridians, dispelling cold and dampness, regulating qi and blood, relieving numbness and relieving pain.

3. Promote Qi and blood circulation, eliminate blood stasis and disperse nodules. When Qi encounters heat, it flows; when it encounters cold, it condenses; when Qi warms, blood flows. Moxibustion is a warm stimulation that can coordinate Qi and blood, harmonize the Ying and Wei systems, and make the blood vessels smooth, thereby promoting Qi and blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules.

4. Warm the Yang, replenish the deficiency, tonify the middle and invigorate the Qi.

5. Restore Yang and rescue the adverse condition.

6. Prevent diseases, maintain health, strengthen the body and prolong life.
