Does moxibustion lead to delayed menstruation? Folium Artemisiae Argyi is made into moxa sticks or moxa sticks. By burning, near infrared rays and heat are generated, which act on acupuncture points or specific parts of the human body, thus realizing natural therapy of prevention and treatment.
On the one hand, the principle of moxibustion is to use heat to achieve the effects of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, promoting qi and blood circulation, dispelling cold and removing dampness, on the other hand, it depends on the medicinal properties of wormwood itself. Because wormwood is a rare Chinese medicine that can dredge the twelve meridians, after years of exploration, the ancients finally decided to use wormwood as the main raw material of moxibustion. The third principle is to moxibustion different acupoints and use different moxibustion methods according to physical conditions.
Modern research also found that the heat generated by moxibustion combustion is a very effective physical factor infrared ray, which is suitable for body treatment. Infrared radiation during moxibustion can provide necessary energy for metabolic activity and immune function of body cells, and can also provide activation energy for pathological cells lacking energy. When moxibustion is applied to acupoints, its near-infrared radiation has a high penetration ability, which can better send energy to the lesions through the meridian system.
Everything has two sides. Moxibustion has so many curative effects that it is inevitable that there will be some side effects. Due to different constitutions and symptoms, starting moxibustion may cause fever, fatigue, dry mouth, general discomfort and other reactions, or going to an informal and unprofessional moxibustion treatment center may lead to delayed menstruation.
The role of moxibustion With the development of modern society, moxibustion is becoming more and more popular in Chinese medicine. Moxibustion mainly has the functions of warming channels and dispelling cold, activating qi and dredging collaterals, supporting yang and resolving stagnation, promoting yang, expelling toxin and clearing heat, preventing diseases, protecting health and beautifying.
First, warming meridians to dispel cold.
Moxibustion is the application of its warm stimulation, which plays the role of warming meridians and dredging arthralgia. Through the warm stimulation of hot moxibustion on meridian points, it can warm meridians and dispel cold, strengthen the operation of qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of clinical treatment Therefore, moxibustion can be used for arthralgia and diarrhea caused by blood stasis and cold, and the effect is very remarkable.
Second, activating qi and dredging collaterals.
Meridians are distributed in all parts of the human body, including internal organs and external tissues such as muscles and bones. In a normal body, qi and blood circulate endlessly in the meridians and run in sequence. If wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire and other external factors invade the human body or local qi and blood, and the meridians are blocked, there will be symptoms such as swelling and pain and a series of dysfunction. At this time, moxibustion at some acupoints can play a role in regulating qi and blood, dredging meridians and balancing functions, and can be used for sores in clinic.
Third, supporting the yang and strengthening the body.
For critical patients with yang deficiency, vomiting, diarrhea, and weak limb cold pulse, moxibustion at Guanyuan and Shenque points with big moxa can often play the role of supporting yang, restoring yang, saving lives and healing the wounded. Because of the nature of pure yang, fire belongs to yang, and it is often used for stroke, acute abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea in clinic.
