Is moxibustion good for women during menstruation?

Moxibustion is a kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that can regulate the body or treat diseases. In normal times, we can choose the moxibustion method according to our physical condition. However, there are many precautions when doing moxibustion, especially for female friends. Many female friends will have their menstrual period when doing moxibustion. So, is moxibustion good for women during menstruation? Let’s take a look at it below.

Whether moxibustion can be used during menstruation depends on individual circumstances:

Some people have heavier menstrual flow, so moxibustion can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge meridians and collaterals. If moxibustion is performed at this time, it can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and cause heavier menstrual flow.

If your menstrual flow is relatively light, you can use moxibustion during your period. This can help to invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians and collaterals, and expel some congestion in the body, thereby achieving the purpose of curing the disease.

When we use moxibustion, we must tailor it to the individual. We cannot say for sure that moxibustion cannot be performed during menstruation, nor can we say that moxibustion can be performed during menstruation. We must decide based on our own situation. Moxibustion during menstruation can sometimes have a very good effect. By increasing the amount of blood discharged during menstruation, it can help the body expel waste, garbage, some blood clots, etc.

The discussion on whether moxibustion can be used during menstruation is indeed a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending. Every expert has his own opinion, but conditioning the body must start from the effect. The author thinks that moxibustion during menstruation will have a very good effect!

Another point is that you must use moxa sticks of relatively good quality for moxibustion, because inferior moxa sticks can easily damage the meridians and delay the time for body conditioning. Some people's meridians are damaged due to the use of inferior moxa sticks, making their condition worse. When doing moxibustion, it is generally more effective to use golden moxa sticks. The author has also compared many moxa sticks and thinks that the best is the golden moxa sticks from Xiangyi Moxa Sticks (you can find them by searching for stores on Taobao). The moxa fluff is fine and has strong heat. The moxa smoke is also grayish white. The quality can be said to be much better than the moxa sticks of some celebrities. Friends who often do moxibustion can try it.

I will also teach you a technique to distinguish the quality of moxa sticks. The higher the ratio of the moxa stick, the faster it burns, and the more moxa smoke it produces. For example, a 5:1 moxa stick can burn for more than two hours, while a 35:1 moxa stick burns in about an hour. Poor quality moxa sticks are easy to extinguish.

Through the above introduction, we now know the situation of moxibustion during women's menstruation. This depends on personal circumstances. In fact, moxibustion conditioning or treatment is a conditioning method with almost no side effects. When performing moxibustion, we need to do it under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, we must also pay attention to the conditioning of life and diet during menstruation.
