Where can I remove moisture by fumigating with moxa sticks

Moxibustion is a health-preserving method in traditional Chinese medicine that has the effect of removing dampness. The purpose of moxibustion is to cure diseases and maintain health by burning moxa sticks on our acupuncture points. Heavy dampness can be very harmful and can cause symptoms such as joint pain, heavy hands and feet, numbness of the skin and difficulty in movement. Using moxa sticks for conditioning has a good effect. So, where can we remove moisture by fumigating with moxa sticks? Let’s take a look below.

4. Recurrence of gynecological inflammation

The female vaginal opening, urethral opening and anus are close to each other, making them susceptible to infection and the breeding of bacteria. The female reproductive and abdominal cavity are connected to the outside world, allowing bacteria to invade. The vagina is an acidic environment, and when the resistance is reduced, some pathogens will take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

Vaginitis, increased leucorrhea, vulvar itching, cervicitis

Moxibustion can increase the body's immunity, improve the uterine environment, protect it from bacterial harm, speed up the metabolism of uterine secretions without residue, replenish the body's vitality, and help the body repair and metabolize itself.
