Will moxibustion affect menstruation?

It is very common for many people to do moxibustion in daily life. Regular moxibustion can effectively remove moisture and coldness from the body, and at the same time improve resistance, which is very good for the body. The human body is covered with acupoints, and moxibustion on different acupoints can have different effects. Moxibustion is very good for women, but it may easily affect menstruation and cause delayed menstruation.

Will moxibustion delay menstruation?

Moxibustion may cause delayed 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.

Delayed menstruation after moxibustion may be related to heavy cold and dampness in the body. After moxibustion, the medicinal ingredients in the moxa sticks travel along the meridians in the body. With the intervention of medicine and fumigation heat, the body is gradually filled with vital energy. At this time, if the cold evil in the body is not completely eliminated, it may cause blockage in the meridians and affect the circulation of qi and blood, thus causing normal menstruation to become abnormal. Some people will experience delayed menstruation or reduced menstrual flow.

The delay of menstruation after moxibustion is that the original cold evil in the body is heavy. After moxibustion, the participation of mugwort and the intervention of the heat energy of fumigation make the body gradually filled with vital energy. At this time, the cold evil and damp evil in the body have not been completely eliminated, and these cold evil and damp evil are always blocking the meridians and affecting the circulation of Qi and blood. At this time, what may have been normal menstruation may become a battle between good and evil after moxibustion. Some people may experience delayed menstruation and a gradual decrease in menstrual volume.
