Postpartum moxibustion area

Many women will prepare for pregnancy through moxibustion, because this method is not only very safe, but also has a high success rate. However, although the success of preparing for pregnancy can make everyone happy and have a baby, women still need to do a good job of postpartum conditioning, otherwise it is easy to get out of shape. Many diseases can be caused during the confinement period. The effect of conditioning through moxibustion is very good, so what are the parts of the body that can be moxibustioned after childbirth?

First, what are the parts for moxibustion after childbirth? Guanyuan acupoint is an acupuncture point on the human body. It is located three inches below the navel and has the function of nourishing the vital energy and strengthening the foundation, as well as replenishing the lower part of the body. It can be used when there is a loss of vital energy. Guanyuan acupoint is mostly used clinically to treat urinary and reproductive system diseases. It can be used by anyone suffering from loss of vital energy. It is mostly used clinically for diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems. Modern research has confirmed that massaging and vibrating the Guanyuan point can mainly achieve the purpose of treating reproductive system diseases by regulating the endocrine system.

Second, as an external treatment method, moxibustion can warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dispel cold and dampness, and replenish qi and blood. The application of moxibustion for postpartum conditioning can effectively relieve many uncomfortable symptoms of the parturient, which is in line with the pathological and physiological characteristics of women's postpartum weakness and blood stasis. Compared with traditional moxibustion, thermosensitive moxibustion can effectively stimulate the transmission of sensation along the meridians and allow "Qi to reach the diseased area", often achieving twice the result with half the effort. Because most mothers are breastfeeding, taking medicine will definitely be harmful to the baby, so moxibustion is the best choice for mothers after childbirth.

What are the parts for postpartum moxibustion? Ashi point, the name of acupoint classification, is also known as unfixed point, Tianying point, and tender point. These acupoints are generally determined according to the disease and are usually located near the lesions, but can also be located at locations far away from the lesions. They do not have fixed locations or names. The method of selecting acupoints is to use pain as the acupoint, which is what people often say "where there is pain, there is the acupoint". Clinically, doctors make a temporary diagnosis based on the patient's sensations of soreness, numbness, swelling, pain, heaviness, and skin changes during pressure treatment. Ashi points are caused by pathological reflexes and blockage of Qi and blood in the meridians at the site of the disease. Meridian massage is a method in which the doctor applies force to the meridians on the body surface to achieve the purpose of curing diseases through the action of the meridians. Ashi points are located in meridians, acupoints, collaterals, tendons, and muscles, which can affect the function of meridians and block the flow of Qi. Therefore, if a masseur wants to dredge the meridians, stimulate the circulation of Qi and blood, and give full play to the function of the meridians, the first thing to do is to massage the Ashi points. For example, if the patient has a headache due to a cold in the head and neck, or has back and waist pain with inability to bend, or has lower limb pain in the lower limbs, or feels shortness and pain in the tendons, the Ashi points in the above-mentioned areas should be treated with emphasis. During the treatment process, Ashi point can be used as the main point or in combination with other points, but the masseur should regard Ashi point as an important part of the treatment.
