Benefits of moxibustion on the abdomen of women

If female friends regularly use abdominal moxibustion, it can bring many benefits to their bodies. The most important one is that it can enhance local blood circulation of the skin, prevent lumps and congestion in the abdomen, and prevent people from experiencing severe dysmenorrhea symptoms during menstruation. It can also make the skin surface of the abdomen smoother and less rough to the touch.

Moxibustion is a treatment method that uses moxa fire to stimulate specific parts of the human body to prevent and cure diseases. Its mechanism is primarily related to the warm stimulation of local fire. It is this warm stimulation that causes local skin congestion, capillary dilation, enhances local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, relieves and eliminates smooth muscle spasms, strengthens the metabolic capacity of local skin tissue, and promotes the dissipation and absorption of pathological products such as inflammation, adhesion, exudate, and hematoma; it can also cause the diffusion of inhibitory substances in the cerebral cortex, reduce the excitability of the nervous system, and exert a sedative and analgesic effect; at the same time, the warm effect can also promote the absorption of drugs.

Meridian Regulation

Meridian theory is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and is also the theoretical basis of moxibustion therapy. Human beings are a whole. The internal organs and limbs are coordinated with each other. This coordinated relationship is mainly achieved through the regulating function of meridians. Modern research shows that meridian acupoints have three major characteristics:

1. Meridian acupoints are exogenously sensitive to drugs, that is, using the same moxibustion method to select certain acupoints and general body surface points will have significantly different effects.

2 The amplifying effect of meridians and acupoints on drug effects Meridians are not a simple route running on the surface of the body, but a multi-level, multi-functional and multi-form regulatory system. When moxibustion is applied to acupoints, its multi-level physiological functions are affected. In this cyclic induction process, they stimulate each other, coordinate with each other, and superimpose their effects, resulting in a physiological amplification effect.

3. Meridian acupoints have the function of storing drugs. The physical and chemical effects of drugs stay in the acupoints for a long time or are released to the whole body, producing an overall regulating effect, so that the disease can be cured.

Regulate immunity

Many experiments have confirmed that moxibustion has the effect of enhancing immune function. Many therapeutic effects of moxibustion are also achieved by regulating the body's immune function. This effect has the characteristics of bidirectional regulation, that is, low levels can be increased and high levels can be lowered, and under pathological conditions, this regulatory effect is more obvious.
