Can fire therapy really cure uterine cold?

Everyone knows about moxibustion, right? It is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. Nowadays, with the advancement of medical technology, we have directly upgraded from cupping to advanced treatments such as moxibustion. Compared with cupping, moxibustion treats a larger area and has a better effect on promoting blood circulation and removing moisture. Moxibustion is a relatively unique Chinese medicine treatment method, which can improve women's kidney deficiency, uterine cold and other conditions. Next, let’s discuss the effects and functions of moxibustion.

Can moxibustion cure uterine cold?

Moxibustion can lose weight, dispel cold, relieve fatigue, and is very effective for symptoms such as yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, stomach cold, rheumatic pain, menstrual pain, uterine cold, and uterine cold. The method of fire moxibustion is only suitable for people with wind-deficiency and cold constitution and yang deficiency. For those with heat syndrome and yin deficiency, because of the excessive fire in the body, moxibustion may aggravate the internal fire and cause getting angry easily. Generally speaking, people who often have hot hands and feet and are afraid of cold belong to yang deficiency and are definitely not suitable for moxibustion. People with yang deficiency are just the opposite, with cold hands and feet and fear of cold. Such people can undergo fire moxibustion.

It is best to drink more warm water before and after moxibustion. You cannot take a bath within 12 hours after moxibustion. Don't eat cold food in your diet. In addition, moxibustion is suitable for patients with cold constitution who are afraid of cold and wind, are prone to fever and colds, or have repeated fever and colds in winter, and patients with chronic rheumatoid arthritis in the neck, waist, shoulders, knees and internal organs. Moxibustion can also eliminate menstrual pain and obesity caused by "uterine cold" in women, but it should be avoided during pregnancy and menstrual period.
