Postpartum moxibustion, introducing professional treatments for you

When a woman suffers from postpartum madness, she can now be treated with acupuncture, commonly known as postpartum wind moxibustion. It has been proven for a long time that this treatment method is very effective. Let me tell you the characteristics of this treatment method.

1. Can moxibustion cure postpartum wind?

Moxibustion may not necessarily cure postpartum wind, but it can still have a certain effect on postpartum wind.

Postpartum wind refers to the soreness, pain, and numbness of the limbs or joints that a woman experiences during the postpartum period, which is called "postpartum body pain" or commonly known as "postpartum wind." It is also called "Moon family tuberculosis" and so on. It is when women are giving birth, their muscles, bones and pores are wide open, their bodies are weak, and their insides and outsides are open, allowing wind and cold to invade accidentally. It leads to poor blood circulation, causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, heaviness, difficulty in flexion and extension, and coldness in the limb joints. To treat postpartum wind, it is necessary to eliminate the cold and cold poison in the body, and moxibustion just meets the requirements for treating postpartum wind. The principle of moxibustion treatment for postpartum wind is to regulate the body through the combination of acupoints, meridians and thermal energy, acting on the lesions internally and allowing deep capillaries and lymphatic tissues to flow smoothly externally. It can play a certain role in the treatment of postpartum wind. However, women who have just given birth are weak and prone to symptoms of blood deficiency. Moxibustion treatment is usually combined with Chinese medicine. If you need to breastfeed at this time and use medicine indiscriminately, it will be harmful to both yourself and the baby. Moreover, the later the treatment of postpartum wind is, the more difficult it is and the greater the harm to the body. It may be difficult to cure it with moxibustion alone. Therefore, moxibustion may not necessarily cure postpartum wind, but it can still have a certain effect on postpartum wind.

2. Benefits of moxibustion for postpartum wind

Let the patient slowly recover

From a medical point of view, moxibustion belongs to traditional Chinese medicine. No matter what kind of disease Chinese medicine treats, it is a long process. Therefore, female friends who use moxibustion to treat postpartum wind should be prepared in advance. Moxibustion treatment for postpartum wind can help postpartum patients recover their health slowly while regulating their bodies.

Will not cause more side effects to patients

Because postpartum wind is a disease caused by the patient's failure to take good care of the body during the confinement period, in order to reduce the sequelae of postpartum wind patients, the biggest feature of moxibustion is that it will not leave more sequelae for postpartum wind patients.

Unblocking Qi and blood

The principle of moxibustion treatment for postpartum wind is to regulate the body through the combination of acupoints, meridians and thermal energy, acting on the lesions internally and allowing deep capillaries and lymphatic tissues to flow smoothly externally.

Expel the cold

Postpartum wind is caused by women's weakened body due to the opening of their muscles, bones and pores during childbirth, which allows the invasion of wind and cold. Moxibustion can completely eliminate the cold and cold toxins in the body.

3. Precautions for moxibustion for postpartum wind

Moxibustion requires sufficient fire and a long time

When using moxibustion to treat postpartum wind, you must use enough fire and enough time. In addition, the key to treating postpartum wind with moxibustion is persistence. Only by persisting in expelling the cold evil can the treatment be thorough.

Drink more ginger and sugar water during moxibustion

During moxibustion for postpartum wind, you will sweat a lot. It is recommended to open the window for convection moxibustion. During the moxibustion period, you must drink more ginger and sugar water (boil the ginger first, then brew brown sugar water), which is beneficial to replenish qi and blood.

Keep warm

In winter, you must pay attention to the temperature and coldness when doing moxibustion. Be careful not to go out immediately after moxibustion, because the sweat pores are open after moxibustion, which makes it very easy for wind evil to invade. If you are treating during hot weather, you will sweat a lot and you can open the window to do convection moxibustion.
