Fumigating the navel with moxa sticks can cure uterine coldness

Uterine cold is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. Literally, it means cold uterus. It is not a single symptom, but a comprehensive manifestation of various symptoms. Uterine cold needs to be treated in time, otherwise it will result in infertility. There are many ways to treat uterine cold. In order to improve the effect, many patients want to use moxibustion to treat it. So, can fumigating the navel with moxa sticks cure uterine cold? Let’s take a look below.

It has certain effects, but it is not suitable for everyone. It must be done under the correct guidance of a doctor and must not be tried blindly. Uterine cold is a common term in traditional Chinese medicine. In Western medicine, it usually manifests as gynecological inflammation or irregular menstruation. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of uterine cold, and then treat it symptomatically. Generally speaking, moxibustion with moxa sticks has a certain therapeutic effect.

When women with cold uterus undergo moxibustion, they can take a piece of fresh ginger 0.2 to 0.4 cm thick, pierce several small holes with a needle, and then cut the moxa stick into small pieces to prevent it from being ignited during moxibustion on the ginger slices, or use the moxa stick to directly smoke the corresponding acupoints. If you persist in this method for a long time, it can help regulate the cold uterus. However, because everyone's physique is different and the duration of the illness is also different, the time is not certain, but as long as you persist in moxibustion, you will see obvious results. As for the time of each moxibustion, some people moxibustion for about half an hour, and some people moxibustion for more than an hour. The specific time depends on your physical condition. If you feel comfortable, you can moxibustion for a while longer. If you feel uncomfortable, then reduce the moxibustion time. Therefore, how long it takes for moxibustion to be effective for uterine cold varies from person to person.

The advantages and disadvantages of moxibustion

Moxibustion has been passed down for thousands of years from ancient times to the present.
