Can moxibustion cure postpartum wind?

Many people do not pay much attention to their physical condition after giving birth, and do not take good care of themselves after giving birth. This will definitely leave some sequelae to their bodies, and may even cause them to suffer from postpartum wind. This requires special attention. Most patients with postpartum wind need to be treated with moxibustion. This treatment method is very effective and can improve the condition fundamentally.

1) Be careful of cold: Mothers should avoid catching cold during the postpartum period. They should not be exposed to cold wind or drink cold water, and they should not eat cold or irritating foods. Usually, special attention should be paid to avoid physical fatigue or mental stimulation. Not only women who give birth normally, but also women who have had a caesarean section or a miscarriage are likely to suffer from postpartum wind, so you must pay attention.

2) Do not over-move your joints: Any slight stimulation before delivery can cause problems after delivery, so you must not over-move your joints within 2-3 weeks after delivery.

3) Take postpartum tonic medicine: Postpartum tonic medicine in traditional Chinese medicine is effective in replenishing the mother's qi and blood, helping rapid recovery after delivery, and preventing postpartum diseases, but it must be taken 3 weeks after delivery when the lochia has been discharged. Taking tonic medicine before all the lochia is discharged may induce postpartum wind. To treat postpartum wind, you can decoct and take medicinal herbs such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, and rehmannia root that have the effect of replenishing physical strength.

4) Eat appropriate nourishing foods: Foods that can prevent postpartum wind include carp, snakehead fish, pig's trotters, pumpkin, etc. But as the name suggests, tonic foods are consumed to replenish energy. You should not take too much at one time or only eat one type.

5) Receive treatment from traditional Chinese medicine: Postpartum wind should be treated early, otherwise it will be very difficult to treat. Traditional Chinese medicine is generally used to treat postpartum wind. If postpartum pain symptoms such as cold joints and tingling in joints occur, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
