Moxibustion can treat menstruation caused by cold uterus, as well as pain caused by cold stagnation in meridians. However, most of the menstruation is of this type. Use a hot water bag to relieve the pain. I suggest you buy some moxa later. Is there any harm in treating dysmenorrhea with moxibustion? Start a special moxibustion two days before menstruation to relieve the effect of menstruation.

As a traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion has long been used to treat women with dysmenorrhea. In many parts of China, there is a tradition of baking babies and mothers with mugwort leaves. It can be seen that this weed growing in the wilderness has a simple "immortal use" that has been passed down from centuries to centuries.

So, why can moxibustion treat dysmenorrhea in ancient times?

TCM perspective on the causes of dysmenorrhea

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by kidney deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Among them, kidney deficiency, that is, insufficient kidney yang, is the most common cause of uterine cold and blood stasis. Why? Because when kidney yang is insufficient, the uterus is easily lost and invaded by cold blood, which coagulates and blocks blood flow, causing irregular menstruation, blockage and pain.

Generally speaking, abdominal pain, fever and pain, scanty dark purple menstruation, blood stasis, cold limbs, fatigue, nausea and vomiting are manifestations of renal insufficiency and cold uterus. Replenishing kidney yang can fundamentally warm the uterus.

Why does qi stagnation also cause dysmenorrhea? Qi stagnation and blood stasis often occur at the same time. The so-called qi stagnation is blood stasis. In other words, if there is no qi, blood stasis will naturally occur. Depression, anger, and depression will cause gas to be blocked in the body and cannot come out, which is easy to stop bleeding. Blood stasis, pain blockage, is dysmenorrhea.

In addition, cold and greed are common causes of dysmenorrhea. For example, some girls find that even if they don't usually suffer from dysmenorrhea, if they catch a cold before their menstruation comes, or if they drink ice water and get wet, they will suffer from dysmenorrhea when their menstruation comes.

For girls who usually like to drink cold drinks, wear belly clothes and shorts, dysmenorrhea is normal. The body is cold outside, cold air penetrates into the body, and as time goes by, the uterus turns from warm to cold. During menstruation, the blood stagnates and dysmenorrhea causes pain.

Menstruation is the cyclical exfoliation of the endometrium, just like tearing off wallpaper. Initially, the wallpaper and the wall are dry. With a little effort, it is easy to tear them off. However, if you pour some cold water on the wall before tearing it off, or let the wall be wet for a while, it will be very difficult to tear them off again.

Moxibustion is one of the ancient external treatments. Its principle is to warm the blood, strengthen the body and eliminate evil, and regulate the function of the internal organs to delay aging, strengthen the body and reduce aging. Common dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders in women can also be prevented and treated by moxibustion. Moxibustion treatment of dysmenorrhea is mainly for dysmenorrhea caused by women's organs without lesions. Before moxibustion, it is necessary to first clarify what causes dysmenorrhea, then find the acupoints and treat them symptomatically. Moxibustion can cultivate the body's positive energy and enhance the body's ability to prevent and resist diseases by applying moxibustion to certain acupoints.

In addition, modern research has also confirmed that moxibustion can enhance the phagocytic ability of white blood cells, accelerate the production of various specific and non-specific antibodies, improve their immune effects, and enhance the body's immune function. At the same time, moxibustion can also improve the functions of various systems in the human body and enhance the body's disease resistance, thus facilitating the recovery of a variety of diseases.
