Is moxibustion useful for scanty menstruation?

Menstruation is something that every normal woman experiences every month. This is also determined by the special physiological structure of women. Due to various reasons, women have different experiences when they have their periods. Many women have irregular menstruation, which is also an abnormal phenomenon. Irregular menstruation not only means that the time of menstruation is abnormal, but also that the amount of menstruation is small. So, is moxibustion useful for small amounts of menstruation? Let’s take a look at it below.

In fact, just like TCM’s syndrome differentiation and treatment, moxibustion also requires syndrome differentiation and acupuncture point selection. For scanty menstruation, differentiated treatment is used during moxibustion. It is mainly divided into four types: blood deficiency, kidney deficiency, blood cold and qi stagnation.

1. Blood deficiency type: Select five acupoints for moxibustion treatment: Tanzhong, Guanyuan, Zi, Neiguan and Yongquan. Use ginger moxibustion or gentle moxibustion on the Tanzhong, Guanyuan, uterus, and Neiguan points in the lower abdomen. Yongquan can be moxibustioned with the Chinese Magic Points Moxibustion for 20 minutes at each point, once a day.

2. Kidney deficiency type: Start with tonifying the kidney and nourishing the blood, and choose the three acupoints of Baliao, Guilai and Sanyinjiao for moxibustion. Use a portable moxibustion device on the lower abdomen, moxibustion each acupoint once a day, each time for 20 minutes is best.

3. Blood cold type: Treatment should be aimed at warming the meridians, dispelling cold and regulating menstruation. Acupoints selected for moxibustion: Guanyuan, Baliao, Sanyinjiao, and Zusanli. Use ginger moxibustion on these four acupoints, 20 minutes for each acupoint, twice a day.

4. Qi stagnation type: Take Guanyuan, Mingmen, Jianjing and Taichong. Jianjing and Taichong can be gently moxibustioned with clean moxa sticks, while Guanyuan and Mingmen can be gently moxibustioned with clean moxa sticks or a portable moxibustion device. Moxibustion the above-mentioned acupoints once a day for 15 minutes each time. It is best if burping or passing gas occurs during the moxibustion.

Through the above introduction, we now know that moxibustion is useful for menstrual flow is small, and different moxibustion methods are selected according to different situations. This is a method of TCM treatment based on the situation. Everyone also knows that moxibustion is a method of stimulating acupoints to achieve treatment, and it is also a method of TCM treatment.
