Can I use moxa during menstruation?

In today's society, many people pay great attention to maintenance and health preservation. Fumigation and moxibustion is one of them. It is a comprehensive physical and drug treatment method. Frequent fumigation and moxibustion can dispel cold evil, regulate qi and blood, replenish deficiency and invigorate qi, regulate yin and yang, etc. Some women also use moxibustion during menstruation, but they don’t know whether it will cause harm to the body. In fact, moxibustion can be used during menstruation. Moxibustion can be used for symptomatic treatment of dysmenorrhea caused by cold stagnation in meridians, menstrual obstruction caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and metrorrhagia caused by deficiency and cold. But it must not be used for empirical practitioners, otherwise it will bring counterproductive effects.

Question 1

You cannot use moxa sticks during menstruation. Moxa sticks are 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).

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.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Therefore, everyone should understand why moxa sticks can cure all diseases, and don’t be an illiterate person with a diploma and business license. Moxa sticks are a method of treating the symptoms. 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. Finally, I would like to remind you that some people think that the hotter the better, and they feel that their tolerance has improved over time. In fact, this is just a kind of self-deception. Your tolerance may have weakened, and your nerves may have been damaged or desensitized due to overuse.
