Can I do fire therapy if I have light menstrual flow?

The principle of moxibustion is to use fire to stimulate the human body with heat and moisture, improve local blood circulation, and have the effect of warming yang, dredge channels and remove dampness. Especially after falls, the effect of moxibustion on the injured area is very significant. For health care by moxibustion, you can do whole body moxibustion twice a month, and abdomen and back moxibustion four times a week. It does not need to be done every day. Moxibustion achieves the effect of health care by accelerating the body's blood circulation and improving metabolism. Generally speaking, moxibustion can dredge the meridians and detoxify the body, and has no harm to the body. However, when the human body is not sick, continuous moxibustion will consume the body's energy, discharge a lot of sweat, and take away some essential nutrients. On the contrary, the effect of health care will not be improved but weakened.

Moxibustion is actually a kind of fire moxibustion therapy, which can act on the skin through acupuncture points, making the body produce a soft and hot feeling, usually with redness of the skin. It has certain effects of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, regulating blood and qi, activating blood circulation and removing stasis, and promoting qi and blood circulation.

Moxibustion during menstruation, if it is uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, or women with scanty menstruation and menstrual obstruction, can do it appropriately, which is helpful for warming the uterus and regulating menstruation, and promoting blood circulation. For women with heavy menstrual flow, moxibustion is not recommended. If done, it may cause heavy menstrual flow or prolonged menstruation, and irregular menstruation.

Moxibustion, one of the traditional treatment methods of Chinese medicine, belongs to the category of external treatment. It is to add a combustible to the powder soaked in Chinese medicinal liquid and then ignite it with fire. The heat of fire is used to induce the medicinal effect to pass through the skin to achieve the therapeutic purpose. It is clinically used to treat cold syndrome. Generally speaking, for patients with severe cold syndrome, if the moxibustion sites are selected within a few areas, symptoms of getting angry are not likely to occur easily. However, for patients with mild cold syndrome, if too many sites are treated, it is likely to get angry. If this method is mistakenly used to treat heat syndrome, the probability of getting angry will increase significantly.
