Moxibustion treatment for breast hyperplasia

Moxibustion is currently a popular treatment method and is also a type of traditional Chinese medicine. It is loved by many people because of its safety, naturalness and few side effects. However, what kind of reaction will occur after moxibustion treatment? What are the precautions? Is it true that moxibustion can treat breast hyperplasia? This is an unsolved mystery for friends who are doing moxibustion for the first time. Today I will briefly introduce the moxibustion treatment method for breast hyperplasia.

Among various breast diseases, the incidence of breast hyperplasia ranks first among breast diseases. In recent years, the incidence of this disease has been increasing year by year, and the age of patients has been getting younger and younger.

In adolescent or young women, there is breast tenderness before menstruation, and sometimes the pain spreads to the shoulders and back. The breast pain gradually subsides after menstruation. Only some thickening of the breast can be felt, without obvious nodules. These are physiological changes, not diseases, and do not require treatment. They are physiological hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is the physiological proliferation and incomplete involution of normal breast lobules, which leads to disorder of the normal structure of the breast. It is a pathological hyperplasia and is a type of disease that is neither inflammatory nor tumorous. It is more common in women aged 30 to 50, with the peak incidence being 35 to 40 years old.

According to the physiological characteristics of women and the characteristics of the breast meridians, the meridians passing through the breasts include the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, a straight line with the nipple perpendicular to the ground; the Kidney Meridian and Chong Meridian, 2 inches away from the inner side of the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, close to the anterior midline of the human body; and the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian on the chest outside the nipple. Due to the structural characteristics of the mammary gland itself, it is loose and soft. When the above-mentioned meridians are blocked, the local breast becomes a place where Qi and blood are easily gathered. When Qi stagnates, Qi is depressed, Qi and blood are blocked, the Chong meridian is not regulated, the kidney Qi is insufficient, the heart and lungs are not functioning well, and the spleen Qi is not functioning well, nodules, edema, and lumps will appear in the areas where the meridians pass.

When the above symptoms occur, go to the hospital for ultrasound or mammography in time. For patients with breast hyperplasia, you can do moxibustion at home, twice a day, 30 minutes each time. When doing moxibustion, the moxa stick should be 2 to 3 cm away from the local area, gently circle around the breast or sweep up and down along the meridians. When you first start to do moxibustion, the affected area will hurt, sometimes you will feel pain in another place after moxibustion, and the pain may even be unbearable. After a certain number of days and a certain amount of moxibustion, the breast will no longer hurt, and the breast will be soft and free of nodules, indicating that the disease is cured. For patients with severe breast hyperplasia, we remind you to go to the hospital for a checkup every three months.

Of course, if you cooperate with breast massage along the meridians before going to bed and after waking up, the effect will be better. The specific method is to place the fingers of your right hand on the intercostal space of the left breast, starting from the kidney meridian on the inside, and slowly push and massage to the spleen meridian and lung meridian on the outside of the breast. Then massage the right breast in the same way, massaging each breast for 5 to 10 minutes, twice a day.
