Where to apply moxibustion for fungal vaginitis

Vaginitis is a gynecological disease that troubles many female patients. It is also a disease that can have adverse effects on the health of women's private parts and even the health of the entire reproductive system. There are many types of vaginitis, and candidal vaginitis is one of them. This type of vaginitis can be treated through moxibustion. So, where can candidal vaginitis be treated through moxibustion?

The acupoints selected for moxibustion conditioning therapy for candidal vaginitis are: Guanyuan, Zhongji, uterus, Sanyinjiao, Guilai and vulva. Tools: moxa sticks, four moxa jars, and a homemade moxibustion bench. Method: Cover the above-mentioned acupoints with four moxa cups and perform moving moxibustion; use hand-held moxa sticks to perform hanging moxibustion or pecking moxibustion on Zusanli and Sanyinjiao; use fumigation moxibustion on the vulva, sit on a bench with a hole in the middle, and let the moxa smoke under the bench smoke upwards. After moxibustion, wash the vulva with warm water. Time: 15 to 20 minutes.

Candida is a fungus, and the one that usually causes vaginitis is Candida albicans. Candida is not resistant to heat and will die after being heated to 60°C for 1 hour. However, it is more resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals.

Candida usually exists in the mouth, upper respiratory tract, intestines, and vagina. Generally, in a normal body, their number is very small and will not cause disease. When the body's immune function declines, or the normal flora becomes dysfunctional due to mutual restraint, Candida will multiply and change its growth form, invading human cells and causing diseases such as candidal vaginitis. In this case, it is best for both men and women to go to the hospital for treatment at the same time.

For this disease, if you insist on using high-power moxibustion every day, the effect is very good. You can choose to use a six-needle moxibustion box, cut a moxa stick into four pieces, light it, cover it with a towel and do moxibustion. You can do moxibustion for about an hour. You have seen that the fungus can die after being heated at 60°C for one hour, so persistent moxibustion has a relatively good effect on candidal vaginitis.

Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during the treatment to avoid recurrence, otherwise it will be very troublesome. While cooperating with the hospital's treatment, you can apply moxibustion to Guanyuan, Zhongji, uterus, Guilai, Sanyinjiao and vulva. Moxibustion each acupoint for 15 to 20 minutes, 1 to 2 times a day. If combined with long-term moxibustion, the effect will be better.
