What are the advantages and disadvantages of moxibustion during menstruation?

Moxibustion is a very traditional Chinese medical treatment method. To this day, moxibustion is still a very popular health care method. The effect of moxibustion is very powerful. For example, it can regulate human meridians and promote the smooth flow of qi and blood. Especially for those with poor immunity, moxibustion is also very effective in regulating immunity.

The advantages and disadvantages of moxibustion during menstruation:

Moxa sticks can be used to promote blood circulation and fumigate the waist to aid yang energy, but it will cause excessive menstrual flow. It is not recommended for women who mostly suffer from anemia (if the menstrual flow is small, using moxa sticks to fumigate the waist is just a way to deceive yourself that your menstruation is normal, and it has no real effect). First of all, moxa sticks are poisonous, and the toxicity of their smoke is also very high.

The combustion of moxa sticks is incomplete, so it is inevitable to produce toxic gases such as SO2 and CO, as well as arsenic particles, which can cause relatively great damage to the respiratory tract, nervous system and immune system.

It is not recommended to use moxa sticks for a long time. When using it, you should use it in a ventilated place and avoid inhaling smoke. Wearing a mask can only reduce the risk of arsenic poisoning.

The principle of using moxa sticks to treat diseases is not the smoke as mentioned in the feudal period, but the heat. The infrared rays during burning have a certain penetrating power and can pass through the surface of the skin to heat deep lesions. Is the principle of curing diseases so simple? That’s right, because most of the lesions are caused by the lack of local energy supply, and moxa sticks can supply energy to those lesions. Isn’t this equivalent to providing yang energy to part of the human body? Therefore, the contraindications for the use of moxa sticks state that it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency.

From the symptoms to the root cause, this method can cause great harm to the body, so moxa sticks can only be used as an auxiliary tool. Now that you understand the reason, it is best not to use moxa sticks in your daily life. Using electronic moxa sticks is the healthiest and will not cause any injuries.

Local irritation:

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.
