Can I use moxibustion on my abdomen during menstruation?

During menstruation, women have heavy bleeding, so their bodies are very weak. Because women have different physical constitutions, their reactions during menstruation are also different. Moxibustion mainly plays a regulating role on people's bodies, but not all women can use moxibustion to regulate their bodies. It is also necessary to pay attention to the time and method of moxibustion. So can I use moxibustion on my abdomen during menstruation?

1. Generally speaking, the area for moxibustion is on the back, but it is not absolutely unchanging. The area for moxibustion can also be changed according to the actual physical condition of each person. It is actually feasible to do moxibustion on the abdomen. We all know that female friends’ ovaries are actually located on both sides below the belly button. Doing moxibustion on the belly is actually to maintain the ovaries. If a female friend has irregular menstruation, she can also regulate her menstruation at the same time.

2. Moxibustion has the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and tendons, and it can also regulate the body and treat dysmenorrhea, etc. In other words, if a female friend has a heavy menstrual flow, then doing moxibustion during the menstrual period will speed up blood circulation, and the amount of menstrual flow may be greater, or the bleeding may not stop. In severe cases, it may cause anemia and fainting. Moxibustion is not allowed during this menstrual period. Of course, if a female friend’s menstrual flow is already very little and she wants to regulate the amount through moxibustion, then she can do moxibustion during her menstrual period.

3. Menstrual irregularities include menstruation that does not come and does not stop, and menstruation that does not come for a long time. In cases of menstrual irregularities such as menstruation not coming and not going, moxibustion is not allowed and other medicines need to be combined to regulate menstruation. Menstrual disorders such as missed periods can be treated with moxibustion to activate the blood stasis in the body and discharge it out of the body. Therefore, moxibustion also has the effect of regulating irregular menstruation. If your menstrual flow is heavy, you cannot do moxibustion during your period. If your menstrual flow is light, you can do moxibustion during your period.
