Which part should be moxibustioned during menstruation?

Women should pay special attention to their physical health during the menstrual period, and moxibustion cannot be used during the menstrual period, no matter which acupoints are used. If you want to use moxibustion to relieve some menstrual discomfort symptoms, you should do it before or after the menstrual period.

The first one is Guanyuan acupoint

Guanyuan point is three inches below the navel. Moxibustion on Guanyuan point can enhance the body's yang energy and replenish deficiency and benefit loss. It is more effective for symptoms such as insufficient Yang Qi, physical weakness and fear of cold, and has the effect of nourishing the essence and strengthening the foundation, and replenishing the lower part of the body.

The second part is Shenque point

It is located at the navel, and is a key acupoint on the Ren Meridian of the human body. When the body's Qi, blood, Yin and Yang are out of balance and disease occurs, stimulation or application of medicine to the Shenque point can help adjust the balance of Yin and Yang.

The third part is Qihai acupoint

This point is located in the lower abdomen of the human body, with a straight line connecting the navel and the top of the pubic bone, dividing it into ten equal parts, starting from the 3/10 position of the navel. Moxibustion on this point can prevent and treat irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and infertility.

In addition, you can also press and rub this point. The operator can lie on his back, put the palms of both hands together (right hand on top, left hand on the bottom) and place them on the lower abdomen, and then perform circular massage on the abdomen in a clockwise direction. You can massage 100 circles each time, until you feel warmth in the lower abdomen. This recipe has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing qi.

The fourth point is at the Mingmen point on the back.

The Mingmen point is located between the spinous processes of the second and third lumbar vertebrae, and there are also the Shenshu points on both sides, 3 cm away from the midline of the back. Moxibustion at the Mingmen acupoint can strengthen the kidneys and consolidate the body, and treat female menstrual disorders and habitual abortion due to deficiency and cold.
