Can moxibustion be used to treat gynecological inflammation?

Moxibustion is a method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. It was widely used in ancient times and has been passed down to this day. There are many diseases that can be treated by moxibustion. So can moxibustion be used to treat gynecological inflammation?

Effects of moxibustion:

It can promote blood circulation, remove dampness and cold, reduce swelling and resolve nodules, restore yang and rescue from adverse conditions, prevent diseases and maintain health.

Moxibustion has a wide range of effects. Modern research shows that the methanol extract of the combustion product of moxa has the effect of scavenging free radicals, and is more effective than the methanol extract of unburned moxa. The lipid peroxides in the local skin after moxibustion were significantly reduced, and this effect was caused by the combustion products of moxa. The burning of moxa not only does not destroy its effective medicinal ingredients, but enhances them. The antioxidant substances in the products of moxa combustion adhere to the skin at the acupuncture points and penetrate into the body through the heat of moxibustion to take effect.

Studies have confirmed that the heat generated by moxibustion burning is a very effective physical factor infrared that is suitable for body treatment. According to the principles of physics, any object can emit and absorb infrared rays, and the human body is no exception. Near infrared rays penetrate the human body deeper than far infrared rays, up to 10mm, and are absorbed by the body. Research suggests that the radiation energy spectrum produced by moxibustion during combustion is infrared, with near-infrared rays accounting for the main component. Near infrared rays can stimulate the hydrogen bonds of biological molecules in the human body's acupuncture points, produce stimulated coherent resonance absorption effect, and transmit the energy required by human cells through the neuro-humoral system. The infrared radiation during moxibustion can provide the necessary energy for the metabolic activities and immune functions of the body's cells, and can also provide activation energy for energy-deficient pathological cells. Moxibustion is applied to acupuncture points. Its near-infrared radiation has a high penetrating power and can better deliver energy to the lesion through the meridian system.

The benefits of moxibustion are also used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and ENT diseases, especially mastitis, prostatitis, periarthritis of the shoulder, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical spondylosis, diabetes, etc. Secondly, moxibustion has a unique health-care effect. After entering the modern society, acupuncture has continued to develop, while moxibustion has been neglected by people. During the treatment process of moxibustion, the patient's meridian points are burned, leaving moxibustion scars on the body. Mr. Zhou Meisheng, a master of moxibustion, pointed out that it was the double pain of illness and moxibustion sores that brought patients so much pain that caused moxibustion to fall into decline. He called for in-depth research on moxibustion to promote its modern development.

1. Moxibustion points for gynecological diseases

The skin at Sanyinjiao is very thin, so if the distance is not controlled well, it is easy to get blisters. Of course, many Chinese medicine practitioners say that moxibustion bubbles are a sign that moisture in the body has been driven out by moxibustion. But no one can tell whether it is a moxibustion blister or a burn blister. Therefore, you must pay attention to the distance when performing moxibustion on Sanyinjiao. The same goes for the belly and waist. Many sisters said that their belly became swollen after a period of moxibustion. So be careful not to get scalded or burned due to moxibustion.

2. Treat pelvic inflammatory disease

Many sisters receive intravenous drips and take anti-inflammatory drugs during their menstrual period. Since the pelvic cavity is open during menstruation, medications can penetrate more easily. But sisters, beware. But you must not do moxibustion during menstruation. Otherwise it will cause increased menstrual flow. If there is irregular vaginal bleeding, moxibustion should be avoided as much as possible.

3. Keep warm immediately after moxibustion

Women are prone to uterine cold. Moxibustion is a good way to improve uterine cold. However, if you do not keep warm after moxibustion, the invasion of cold air will be counterproductive.

4. The time should not be too long

Sisters, don't be too impatient when using moxibustion to treat gynecological diseases. Just do it for fifteen minutes every day. If left on for a long time it may cause burns.

5. Ventilation is required during treatment

During the moxibustion process, you must pay attention to ventilation, otherwise it will cause respiratory diseases. Do not take a shower immediately after moxibustion.
