Can I use moxibustion to fumigate my stomach when my period comes?

For women who usually have less menstrual flow, moxa can be used to fumigate the abdomen during the menstrual period. Because moxibustion has obvious effects of relaxing meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, it can increase menstrual volume, promote the discharge of menstrual blood, and can effectively improve the blood clot state during menstruation. However, for women who have multiple uterine fibroids or adenomyosis, the menstrual flow is heavier at this time, and the menstrual period will also be significantly increased. Therefore, it is best not to use moxa to fumigate the abdomen during menstruation, for fear that moxa will cause the menstrual flow to increase, and may even cause dizziness, panic, drowsiness and other symptoms.

If a woman has lower abdominal pain and scanty menstruation during her period, she can use moxa to fumigate her abdomen. When the abdomen is fumigated with moxa, the menstrual flow may increase and the lower abdominal pain may be relieved. However, if a woman has a lot of blood and blood clots during her menstrual period, she should not use moxa to fumigate the abdomen to avoid excessive menstrual flow and the occurrence of anemia. Therefore, when women have their periods, they should choose whether to use moxa to fumigate the abdomen based on their physical condition and the amount of menstruation.

If the menstrual flow is small, the color of menstrual blood is dark, and accompanied by menstrual pain, you can use moxa to fumigate, which will help promote the smooth discharge of menstruation out of the body. It should be noted that the time for fumigation with moxa sticks should not be too long. It should be used in a cool place and avoid inhalation of thick smoke.
