Mammary hyperplasia is a kind of breast disease that is easy to occur among women of childbearing age. Because hyperplasia of mammary glands will repeatedly cause adverse reactions such as breast pain and swelling, patients will hope to find effective treatment after diagnosis. Recently, moxibustion therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is very popular, and many patients are eager to try it. So, can mammary gland hyperplasia be moxibustion?

First, can breast hyperplasia be moxibustion?

Mammary hyperplasia can be treated by moxibustion. Moxibustion therapy of traditional Chinese medicine can play the role of dredging meridians, promoting qi and blood circulation, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, helping to improve breast pain and discomfort caused by hyperplasia of mammary glands, helping to eliminate lumps in the breast as soon as possible, playing the role of dredging breasts and resolving hard mass, and relieving pain. However, it should be noted that moxibustion can not completely cure breast hyperplasia, so it is not suitable as the main treatment and can only be used as adjuvant therapy.

Second, moxibustion methods for mammary gland hyperplasia

1. Choose the right acupoints.

When treating hyperplasia of mammary glands with moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine, we must first determine the specific acupoints. Among them, Ashi point, Sanyinjiao point, Ganshu point, Neiguan point and Tianchi point are commonly used in clinic. If there is aggravating reaction during menstrual period, Taichong point can be added, Taixi point can be added for those who are aggravated after menstrual period, and Ganshu point can be added for those who have symptoms of liver depression and qi stagnation.

2. Moxibustion method

When moxibustion, you should first light the moxa stick and hang moxibustion at a distance of about 5 cm from the skin, which is also commonly known as mild moxibustion. At this time, we should pay attention to choose the right moxibustion box, preferably under the guidance of a professional doctor, to prevent the curative effect from being affected by the wrong method.

3. Moxibustion time

Generally, the moxibustion time at each acupoint is about 15-20 minutes. It is best to moxibustion once a day, and 10 can be a course of treatment. Continuous treatment for about 2 courses can achieve a more significant effect of softening and resolving hard mass, and can obviously feel the relief of breast pain and discomfort. However, it should be noted that there needs to be a certain time interval between each course of treatment, and you can rest for 3-5 days.
