Moxibustion can warm meridians and dredge collaterals, regulate qi and blood, and dispel cold and dampness, which is a health care method that many health care people like very much. Many people around me are also doing moxibustion health care. Lazy mother spent a lot of time studying last year and now she often does moxibustion at home.

For lying-in women, moxibustion is also applicable, especially for some postpartum women. Moon disease? Puerperal period and puerperal diseases are generally caused by some problems such as low back pain, headache and joint pain caused by improper postpartum care, cold and fatigue, which can be recuperated by moxibustion.

Lazy mother gave birth to her second child in the city hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. On the third day after delivery, the hospital arranged moxibustion (using moxibustion box). However, because it is a caesarean section, there is no local moxibustion on the abdomen, but Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points are done every day once a day until discharge.

Postpartum moxibustion is best carried out under the guidance of a professional moxibustion teacher to avoid harm to the body due to excessive bleeding and improper handling.

However, under the condition of normal health care, the parturient can have moxibustion 42 days after delivery, and it is best to wait until half a year after delivery to have moxibustion on the abdominal wound of caesarean section.

We can choose moxibustion box or hang moxibustion directly on acupoints with moxa sticks, both of which are relatively safe methods.

After all, everyone is unprofessional, so many people don't choose acupoints. It doesn't matter. You can directly choose Ashi point. For example, low back pain is used on the waist, and joint pain is used on the joints. Of course, it would be better if you could match the points.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when doing moxibustion? 1, avoid the baby's room.

There will be a lot of moxa smoke when the moxa stick is lit, which has no effect on normal people, but the baby is too small and too irritating to the baby, so we should avoid the baby.

2. Stay calm.

When doing moxibustion, your heart should be calm. If the parturient always thinks about breastfeeding at this time, or is in a bad mood and upset, these will affect the effect of moxibustion, so it is best not to do it if the heart is not quiet.

Step 3 watch the time

The time of moxibustion is not as long as possible. At the beginning of moxibustion, 20-30 minutes is enough for one acupoint, and no more is needed. 2-3 acupoints at a time is enough.

You don't need moxibustion every day, just 2-3 times a week to give the body an adaptation process, which can be gradually increased according to the needs of the body in the future.

Moxibustion takes too long, which is easy to hurt the yin, so moxibustion should be carried out according to the needs of the body.

4, pay attention to prevent getting angry

Moxibustion plays a role in warming up. If you don't know how to use it correctly, it is easy to get angry. For example, the moxa stick is too big, the moxibustion time is too long, and the moxibustion frequency is too high.

Maternal women often have to take care of their babies, especially at night, and it is easy to get up because of lack of sleep, so as to prevent getting angry.

You can drink a cup of hot water before moxibustion and a cup of boiling water above body temperature after moxibustion. You can also soak your feet with hot water to bring the fire back to Yuan.

After each moxibustion, it is best to moxibustion Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan and other acupoints for nourishing yin to prevent getting angry.

It is best for pregnant women who have signs of getting angry to be cautious about moxibustion unless they are operated by a professional moxibustion teacher.

Step 5 choose a good moxa stick

The best mugwort is mugwort, and the best year is 3 years. Choosing a good moxa stick can get twice the result with half the effort. If you use bad moxa sticks, you will get twice the result with half the effort and even cause adverse reactions.

6, pay attention to heat preservation

When doing moxibustion, you should choose to stay indoors. You can close the doors and windows and pay attention to ventilation. Pay attention to heat preservation after moxibustion. You shouldn't see the wind or eat frozen and cold food. Take a bath with hot water after 2-4 hours.

In fact, moxibustion is also a science, which can not be clearly stated in a few hundred words, but the effect of moxibustion is really good. I really recommend it to those puerperal women who suffer from puerperal diseases, who knows.
