Does moxibustion affect embryo implantation?

Women start preparing for pregnancy when they reach a certain age. During the pregnancy preparation period, women need to pay special attention to their bodies and adjust their activities and diet. As we all know, moxibustion is a very good way to maintain health. Many women usually use moxibustion to regulate their bodies. However, moxibustion is not suitable at all times. So, will moxibustion affect embryo implantation?

It is best to perform moxibustion before ovulation, as it can warm the uterus and help with blocked fallopian tubes. Try not to perform moxibustion after ovulation and having sex, because sperm is afraid of heat and will be affected under high temperatures.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses moxa sticks to fumigate acupuncture points to achieve the effect of curing diseases and maintaining health. It can treat insomnia, physical fatigue, memory loss, joint pain and other symptoms. But generally speaking, moxibustion is not suitable for ordinary pregnant women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Moxibustion emphasizes acupoint therapy, which can cause bleeding. If you are not careful, it will be harmful to the fetus instead of beneficial.

However, for pregnant women with cold uterus, moxibustion can be used to dispel the cold and stabilize the fetus. In the late pregnancy, pregnant women can use moxibustion to correct malposition of the fetus, but moxibustion must be performed under the guidance of a dedicated doctor.

Generally, it is not suitable for pregnant women to do moxibustion during pregnancy, so can they do moxibustion after delivery? Postpartum moxibustion should be performed according to one's own physical condition, and the time should not be too long. In addition, moxibustion should not be excessive to avoid causing discomfort to the body.

Precautions for pregnant women using moxibustion: Moxibustion is generally not recommended for pregnant women. However, if it is necessary, it can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Please pay attention to the following points during use:

First, people who are extremely tired, too hungry, too full, drunk, sweating profusely, emotionally unstable, or women during menstruation should avoid moxibustion.

Second, do not directly apply moxibustion to exposed parts, such as the face, to prevent the formation of scars and affect the appearance.

Third, do not apply moxibustion on areas with thin skin, little muscle, and tendon aggregation, the lumbar sacral area and lower abdomen of pregnant women, and the nipples, genitals, and testicles of men and women. In addition, do not apply moxibustion directly to the joints. In addition, do not apply moxibustion to large blood vessels or the heart, and do not apply moxibustion to the eyeballs which are part of the facial area.

Fourth, moxibustion should not be used during certain infectious diseases, high fever, coma, convulsions, or when the body is extremely exhausted and emaciated.
