After moxibustion treatment, if a woman has early menstruation, it is generally a normal phenomenon. Don't worry too much. Moxibustion treatment has a good effect in promoting blood circulation and can achieve a good effect of regulating the body. This often leads to early menstruation. As long as there are no other symptoms, don't worry. Just strengthen good care in daily life.

Early menstruation after moxibustion

Moxibustion may cause early menstruation. The female menstrual cycle is generally 28 to 35 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range. The length of the cycle varies from person to person, but as long as this pattern is maintained, it should be within the normal range. Generally, delayed menstruation, except for pregnancy, should be considered as irregular menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, pointing out that menstrual disorders are related to kidney function, and the involvement of related organs such as the spleen, liver, qi and blood, Chong Mai, Ren Mai, and uterus. Blockage of meridians or entry of cold evil can all change the menstrual phenomenon. Not all people who use moxibustion to treat diseases will experience this phenomenon. Some people may experience reduced or delayed menstruation.

Moxibustion is originally used to regulate the body. Some reactions will occur during the process of moxibustion. This is moxibustion coordinating the relationship between good and evil. When the body's vital energy is not sufficient, moxibustion will help the positive energy to drive away the evil dampness. Therefore, there is no need to worry if the menstrual period is delayed or reduced.
