Can I use moxa sticks during menstruation?

No, moxibustion patches can invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and help blood circulation, but it can cause excessive menstrual flow. It is not recommended for most women with anemia (menstrual flow is light, and fumigating with moxa sticks is just a dream method to normalize menstruation, with no real effect). First of all, moxibustion patches are harmful, and the toxic side effects of their smoke are also very large.

The combustion of the moxibustion patch is not complete, so it is inevitable to produce harmful gases such as SO2 and CO as well as arsenic particles, which can cause greater damage to the respiratory system, nervous system, and immune system.

Long-term use of moxibustion patches is not recommended. When using them, keep them in a cool place and avoid inhaling thick smoke. Wearing a mask can only reduce the risk of arsenic poisoning.

The basic principle of moxibustion patch treatment is not the smoke that was often mentioned in the feudal society, but the heat. The infrared induction when burned has a certain penetrating ability to pass through the surface of the skin to warm the deep-seated diseases. Are the basic principles of seeing a doctor so simple? That’s right, because most diseases are caused by the inability to supply some energy, and moxibustion patches can supply energy to these diseases. Isn't this equivalent to providing Qi and blood to parts of the body? Therefore, the taboos on the use of moxibustion patches state that people with yin deficiency should not use them.

Therefore, we should understand the reason why moxibustion can cure all diseases, and not be illiterate with academic qualifications and certificates. Moxibustion patch is a method that only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. From the symptoms to the root cause, this method is very harmful to the human body. Therefore, moxibustion patch can only be used as an auxiliary software. Knowing the reason, it is best not to use moxibustion patches in daily life. Using electronic moxibustion patches is healthier and less likely to cause injuries.

Finally, some people think that the hotter the better, and after a long time they feel that their ability to withstand it has increased. In fact, this is just a kind of self-deception. Your tolerance may have weakened, and your nerves may have been damaged or desensitized simply due to excessive use.
