Which part should be moxibustioned to protect the fetus

Moxibustion is a very common Chinese medicine therapy in life. Many women also use moxibustion to protect the fetus during pregnancy. Moxibustion has many benefits for human health. Moxibustion can treat many diseases, such as insomnia, poor memory, etc. Although moxibustion is good for protecting the fetus, you must go to a professional institution, because if you are not careful, miscarriage may occur. So which part of the body should be moxibustioned to protect the fetus?

1. Which acupoints should be moxibustioned after pregnancy?

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses moxa sticks to fumigate acupuncture points to achieve the effect of curing diseases and maintaining health. It can treat symptoms such as insomnia, physical fatigue, poor memory, and joint pain. But generally speaking, moxibustion is not suitable for ordinary pregnant women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Moxibustion focuses on acupoint therapy, which can cause bleeding. If you are not careful, it will be harmful to the fetus instead of beneficial.

However, for pregnant women with uterine coldness, moxibustion can be used to dispel the cold and stabilize the fetus. In the late pregnancy, pregnant women can use moxibustion to correct malposition of the fetus, but moxibustion must be performed under the guidance of a dedicated doctor.

Generally, it is not suitable for pregnant women to do moxibustion during pregnancy. After pregnancy, moxibustion should choose appropriate acupoints according to your physical condition. It needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor, and the time should not be too long. In addition, moxibustion should not be excessive to avoid causing discomfort to the body.

First of all, we should avoid the waist and abdomen. Then, we recommend that pregnant women use moxibustion on some acupoints that can strengthen the body's vitality and activate blood circulation, such as Zhongwan, Baliao, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan, etc. As long as you feel comfortable, you can use moxibustion.

What are the benefits of moxibustion after pregnancy

For pregnant women with uterine coldness, using moxibustion to dispel the cold and stabilize the fetus is extremely effective.

Our view is that as long as you don't moxibustion the waist and abdomen and it doesn't directly affect the baby, you can use moxibustion to nourish and protect the fetus. Moxibustion can enhance positive energy and activate blood circulation. Pregnant women need it, and babies also need it. Moxibustion can nourish both. When the appetite is poor, use moxibustion on Zhongwan to stimulate appetite and provide the baby with sufficient qi and blood. You can safely apply moxibustion to Zusanli. If you feel nausea and vomiting, you can apply moxibustion to Neiguan. When your emotions are fluctuating, you can use moxibustion on Taichong to control your emotions. When you have trouble sleeping, you can use moxibustion on Yong.

The most important thing for pregnant women to do moxibustion is to pay attention to controlling the temperature and time, and stop when you have tried it lightly! If pregnant women moxibustion for too long and at too high a temperature, it may cause excessive turbulence in the qi and blood, which will be harmful to the baby instead of beneficial!

Remember that too much is as bad as too little! More is not always better, the right amount is the best. When pregnant women are receiving moxibustion, the temperature should be what they feel is warm and comfortable. If a wooden moxibustion box or a portable moxibustion box is used, it can be covered with a towel to lower the temperature.
