So, which part of the body should be moxibustioned for uterine cold? Let’s take a look below.

Which acupoints should be moxibustioned for uterine cold

① Guanyuan point, three inches below the navel. Moxibustion on Guanyuan acupoint can enhance the body's yang energy and replenish deficiency and replenish deficiency. It is more effective for symptoms such as insufficient Yang Qi, physical weakness and fear of cold, and has the effect of nourishing the essence and strengthening the foundation, and replenishing the lower part of the body.

② The second location is at the navel, also called Shenque point, which is an important point on the Ren meridian of the human body. When the body's Qi, blood, Yin and Yang are out of balance and disease occurs, stimulation or application of medicine to the Shenque point can help adjust the balance of Yin and Yang. Moxibustion at this point can replenish qi and prolong life, and has always been valued by health experts from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad. The most commonly used methods are moxibustion of Shenque point with ginger and moxibustion of Shenque point with salt. For example, moxibustion of Shenque point through ginger: take a piece of fresh ginger 0.2-0.4 cm thick, pierce several holes with a needle, cover the navel, and then place a small or medium moxa cone on the ginger slice and light it for moxibustion. Apply 3 to 5 times each time, once every other day, 10 times a month, preferably at 9 o'clock every night. Each time, moxibustion should be continued until the local area becomes warm and comfortable, and a slight red flush appears at the moxibustion site.

③ The third one is Qihai point, which is located in the lower abdomen of the human body. A straight line connects the navel and the top of the pubic bone, dividing it into ten equal parts, starting from the 3/10 position of the navel.

Experts remind that moxibustion only needs to be done for half an hour a day, generally not more than an hour. If it is done for too long, you will easily feel dry mouth and tongue, and even cause constipation.
