Can moxibustion treat uterine cold?

Uterine cold is a problem that many women have nowadays. As we all know, uterine cold has a great impact on women's health. For example, it can cause women to experience symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and chills. In severe cases, it can even affect women's reproductive ability and the health of the reproductive system. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine method that can be used to treat uterine cold. So, how can moxibustion effectively treat uterine cold?

There are several very effective acupoints for moxibustion treatment of uterine cold:

One is Guanyuan point, which is three inches below the navel. Moxibustion on Guanyuan acupoint can enhance the body's yang energy and replenish deficiency and replenish deficiency. It is more effective for symptoms such as insufficient Yang Qi, physical weakness and fear of cold, and has the effect of nourishing the essence and strengthening the foundation, and replenishing the lower part of the body.

The second location is at the navel, also called Shenque point, which is a key point on the Ren meridian of the human body. When the body's Qi, blood, Yin and Yang are out of balance and disease occurs, stimulating or applying medicine to the Shenque point can adjust the balance of Yin and Yang.

The third location is the Mingmen point on the back, which is between the spinous processes of the second and third lumbar vertebrae. In addition, there are the Shenshu points on both sides, 3 cm away from the midline of the back. Moxibustion at the Mingmen acupoint can strengthen the kidneys and consolidate the body, and treat female menstrual disorders and habitual abortion due to deficiency and cold.

In addition, massaging this point yourself can also have a good effect. The operator can take a prone position, clench both hands into fists, put them behind the waist, press the Yaoyan acupoint with the protruding joint of the thumb, and massage it with a little force. You can massage it 50 times each time (making the Yaoyan acupoint feel sore and swollen, the effect will be more lasting). Then, press the palms of your hands tightly on both sides of your waist, and rub your waist quickly and vigorously in the up and down direction until the skin on your waist becomes warm. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the waist is the home of the kidneys". Persistently massaging the waist acupoints every night can have a good effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the kidneys.

The fourth one is the Qihai point, which is located in the lower abdomen of the human body. A straight line connects the navel and the top of the pubic bone, dividing it into ten equal parts, starting from the 3/10 position of the navel. Moxibustion on this point can prevent and treat irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and infertility.

In addition, you can also press and rub this point. The operator can lie on his back, put the palms of both hands together (right hand on top, left hand on the bottom) and place them on the lower abdomen, and then perform circular massage on the abdomen in a clockwise direction. You can massage 100 circles each time, until you feel warmth in the lower abdomen. This recipe has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing qi.

Moxibustion should be performed for 30-40 minutes every day, generally not more than an hour. If it is performed for too long, you will easily feel dry mouth and tongue, and even cause constipation. In addition, if moxibustion is performed for a long time, blisters will appear on the local skin. Chinese medicine believes that this is a sign of therapeutic effect, but you must pay attention to skin care to avoid infection after the blisters break.
