Moxibustion has obvious curative effect on treating some diseases and is deeply loved by the masses. However, each treatment method has certain indications and contraindications, which should be fully understood when doing moxibustion. The side effects of moxibustion are: if it is not properly operated, it will lead to skin burns, blisters, infections, or scars, which will affect the appearance; Some people will have symptoms of skin allergy and itching after moxibustion; Some people will experience the phenomenon of getting angry, such as sores on the lips and oral ulcers; Some people will have dizziness, nausea, cold sweat, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat and other uncomfortable symptoms during moxibustion. In this case, they should immediately stop moxibustion, lie flat and rest, drink some warm water, pay attention to the situation, and send them to the hospital immediately if it is serious. Therefore, moxibustion should master the indications, and some people with skin diseases, physical weakness, menstrual period and pregnant women are not suitable for moxibustion.

Moxibustion is not recommended for large menstrual flow, because it will make excessive menstrual flow harmful to the body. However, if there are other diseases in the body that really need moxibustion to the abdomen, the amount of moxibustion can be appropriately reduced and the moxibustion time can be shorter.

Moxibustion can be used for those with less menstrual flow, but damp heat constitution still advises against moxibustion, because moxa sticks are pure yang, and moxibustion will make the body feel stronger.

It is said that ten women suffer from cold. Women often moxibustion Shenque, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Uterus, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints, which can maintain the uterus and beauty beauty. However, friends who don't know their physique suggest seeing a professional Chinese medicine doctor before deciding on the moxibustion plan.

Women are generally not allowed to do moxibustion during menstruation, because moxibustion itself has the effect of promoting blood circulation. Menstrual moxibustion will increase the amount of bleeding and seriously disturb menstruation. Therefore, moxibustion should generally avoid menstruation and avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, the situation is not absolute. If I suffer from dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and scanty menstrual blood caused by deficiency and cold of lower jiao, I can do moxibustion appropriately, but I must pay attention to acupoint selection. I can choose Sanyinjiao, Fuyue, Xue Hai, Guanyuan and Bashu, and I can choose two or three points at a time, so there is no need to use them all. How to choose them should be treated differently according to the specific situation of patients. I can consult professionals.

The symptoms of deficiency-cold syndrome are backache and heavy legs, pale complexion, frequent cold pain in the lower abdomen and severe dysmenorrhea. This is called "freezing uterus". Proper moxibustion during menstruation will promote the discharge of cold in the lower energizer. It should be noted that the time for holding moxibustion with moxa sticks is generally ten minutes, and it is not good for a long time. If the moxibustion pot is used, because the area of the pot is large, the heat dissipation will not be too fierce compared with holding the moxa stick, and the time can be appropriately extended, generally about 20 minutes.

Some people who use moxibustion will use Hegu point, so don't use it during menstruation. Hegu point is very sensitive. Acupuncture is easy to disturb the qi and blood state of human body, and there will be problems such as prolonged menstrual period and increased menstrual volume.
