What are the disadvantages of breast moxibustion?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medical treatment method. It is reported that people have used moxibustion as early as the Stone Age. To this day, many people still have the habit of long-term moxibustion. There are many parts of the body that can be moxibustioned, such as the back. In comparison, it is rare for women to have moxibustion on the breasts. So what are the possible dangers of doing so?

Disadvantages of breast moxibustion:

If breast pain occurs, it may be caused by breast hyperplasia. Fibrocystic breast disease refers to the hyperplasia of breast tissue caused by female endocrine dysfunction and incomplete restoration, which causes the disorder of normal breast structure. It is a group of non-inflammatory and non-tumor diseases. Clinically, the main symptoms are lumps and distension in the breast, which may worsen or improve with the menstrual cycle. For breast hyperplasia, the key is prevention, mainly avoiding factors that cause endocrine disorders. Moxibustion is not effective, and there is currently no definite and effective treatment method. Oral Chinese medicine treatment such as Xiaoyaosan and Rupixiao can relieve swelling and pain.

At the same time, spleen deficiency, dampness and yin can cause neuroendocrine disorders, excessive yang and fire in the body, or depression.

Moxibustion regulates spleen deficiency caused by spleen and kidney deficiency by restoring yang and consolidating deficiency, warming and replenishing yang, it can relieve depression and disperse liver qi to achieve body balance, improve endocrine disorders, and activate the uterine and ovarian nerves to achieve improvement.

Recurrent gynecological inflammation

The female vaginal opening, urethral opening and anus are close to each other, making them susceptible to infection and the breeding of bacteria. The female reproductive and abdominal cavity are connected to the outside world, allowing bacteria to invade. The vagina is an acidic environment, and when the resistance is reduced, some pathogens will take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

Moxibustion can increase the body's immunity, improve the uterine environment, protect it from bacterial harm, speed up the metabolism of uterine secretions without residue, replenish the body's vitality, and help the body repair and metabolize itself.

It is related to excessive emotional and psychological stress, hormone imbalance, fibroids, cysts, polyps and endometrial thickening.

Moxibustion can effectively relieve emotions and relax nerves. By warming the uterus and activating uterine contractions, the endometrium will shed rhythmically. Most fibroids are caused by long-term accumulation of unclean menstruation in the uterus. Long-term moxibustion can effectively improve the discharge of garbage and lochia in the uterus.

Constipation is the biggest source of viruses in the human body. Insufficient water and fiber, prolonged stress, and mental factors disrupt normal bowel habits. Insufficient tension in the abdominal and pelvic muscles and insufficient force for defecation can lead to bloating, cold stomach, and gastric ulcers.

Moxibustion can increase gastrointestinal motility, effectively improve constipation, and eliminate foul air in the intestines. Some people's stomachs growl when doing moxibustion, which is a sign that moxibustion promotes gastrointestinal motility. Drinking plenty of water after moxibustion is beneficial to meridian detoxification and intestinal defecation. Cold and dampness in the stomach will cause bloating, stomach acid and stomach ulcers. Moxibustion has the effects of anti-inflammatory, sterilization, dispelling cold and repairing stomach discomfort.

With the massive production of free radicals, the body's functions begin to decline, the ovarian endocrine hormones are unbalanced, and the uterus also metabolizes slowly. Women's beautiful complexion, clear intestines, and smooth and wrinkle-free face are all due to the balanced hormones of the uterus.
