What are the benefits of mud moxibustion for the uterus

What are the benefits of mud moxibustion to the uterus? This is a question many people want to ask. If a woman has a cold uterus, the fertilized egg will not easily implant, which can easily lead to infertility. The main symptoms of uterine cold are lower abdominal pain during menstruation, dark menstrual blood, and sometimes blood clots. Mud moxibustion uses the principle of heat conduction through acupuncture points to allow the medicine to reach the affected area and achieve the purpose of treatment. Mud moxibustion has many benefits for the uterus. Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Causes of uterine cold problems

1. Constitution: Some women are born with a cold constitution, the main manifestations of which are: cold limbs, being particularly sensitive to cooler weather, having a paler complexion than average people, liking hot drinks, rarely feeling thirsty, being afraid of cold in winter and tolerant of heat in summer. A cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors. Living in a cold environment, liking cold food, overwork or irritability that damages the body's yang energy, etc. These are common causes of a cold body.

2. Air-conditioned room in summer: After entering midsummer, people wear very thin clothes, especially some women who love beauty, who wear revealing clothes. Little do you know that your uterus is suffering from the cold outside at this moment. How much calories can you have to withstand such consumption? Unconsciously, cold air invades the body, and the uterus, a female organ, is the first to be affected, and uterine cold is not far away.

3. Quick weight loss: Whether you diet, exercise, or take medicine, the way to lose weight is to make your consumption greater than your intake, but it must be a longer process. If you try to lose weight in a short period of time, you will have to sacrifice your health. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this means that the body has lost a large amount of energy substances in a short period of time, and the cold evil is likely to take advantage of the opportunity to invade and attack the uterus.

4. Too much cold food: In traditional Chinese medicine, women’s constitution is yin and they should not be too fond of cold food. Even in the hot summer, you should not eat too much cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold foods, let alone those who hold ice cream all year round. After eating too much cold and raw food, these foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing the internal generation of cold evil and damaging the uterus.

5. Abortion: The combination of sperm and egg and the growth of the fetus require women to consume a large amount of energy substances, so some pregnant women will have a very uncomfortable body and a face full of spots. Abortion is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which requires the consumption of a large amount of yang energy in the human body. If the body is not properly maintained, the yang energy will be depleted for a long time, the uterus will lose its warmth, and uterine cold will result.

6. Kidney deficiency: One of the important causes of uterine coldness in traditional Chinese medicine is kidney deficiency. This is a typical case of kidney deficiency caused by excessive pressure on the kidneys due to pregnancy, coupled with uterine coldness caused by residual toxins in the uterus.

What are the symptoms of uterine cold problems

1. Gain weight. Another symptom of uterine cold is weight gain, accompanied by shortness of breath, insomnia, scanty menstruation, and anovulation. The uterus lacks heat, and in order to maintain its own physiological functions, fat acts as a "uterus protector". The colder the uterus, the more the body needs to store fat, which causes weight gain.

2. Abnormal menstruation. Before menstruation, there is a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and there is an increase in leucorrhea, lower back pain or pain, and breast pain. A few women experience nausea and vomiting. During menstruation, there is abdominal pain, a cold lower abdomen, and dark menstrual blood with blood clots. Some women experience dysmenorrhea to an unbearable degree.

The lower abdomen is cold and sometimes painful, the menstrual period is sometimes delayed, the color is light and the amount is small, the spirit is poor, the waist and legs are usually sore, urination is frequent, the menstrual amount is small, the libido is decreased, the tongue is pale with white coating, and the pulse is deep.
