Can you put moxa sticks and peppers on your navel during menstruation?

With the cold weather, female dysmenorrhea, or the original dysmenorrhea is more serious. Chinese medicine believes that this is "palace cold", because your personal constitution is weak and cold, or your bad living habits make your warm uterus catch cold. In addition to daily attention to keep warm, Chinese medicine teaches you a simple method of fumigation and moxibustion with moxa sticks, and stimulates acupuncture points with Chinese medicine to achieve analgesic effect. The uterus is most afraid of cold. According to Dr. Zhou from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, the uterus is the coldest part of a woman's body. Especially those women who are usually afraid of cold, their hands and feet are easy to catch cold. When they are stimulated by cold, they are prone to palace cold due to the invasion of cold pathogens. On the other hand, some girls especially like to drink cold drinks; Or covet to be cool and adjust the air conditioning temperature too low; Or for the sake of beauty, I often wear a navel dress or a thin dress in winter. It makes the body cold, and the cold pathogen easily hurts the yang, affecting the circulation of qi and blood, and then dysmenorrhea occurs. The most direct consequence of palace cold is dysmenorrhea, and then sexual desire will also decrease. Worst of all, without proper temperature, it is difficult for the fetus to survive or develop poorly, leading to infertility of palace cold type. The vaginal discharge caused by palace cold increases, and the sanitary environment in vagina decreases, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis. Zhou teaches you a simple and easy-to-operate moxa stick moxibustion method. Moxibustion sticks are made by crushing Chinese herbal medicine Artemisia argyi leaves into velvet and adding other herbs, which are available in pharmacies. During dysmenorrhea in winter, you can light a moxa stick and smoke it clockwise on the painful part (lower abdomen and uterus) and the upper plane of the back lumbosacral part for 10 minute, which can achieve the purpose of relieving pain and partially cure the root cause of the disease. Because, the penetration of moxa fire produced in the burning process stimulates acupuncture points, and achieves the functions of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and removing dampness. "In fact, according to strict Chinese medicine treatment, moxa stick moxibustion should be aimed at the top of the acupoint. Palace cold, Chinese medicine generally chooses two acupoints (Qihai point, 65438+ 0.5 inch under navel, Guanyuan point, 3 inches under navel). " Zhou said to him. But it is difficult for people who don't know the acupoints to find the exact location. It is a simple and good method to use the large-area rotary fumigation moxibustion recommended above. This method is also suitable for people who are physically weak and afraid of cold in winter, and often have bad stools because of stomach cold. People who are afraid of cold rotate and smoke moxibustion at Zusanli and the muscles on both sides of the back (the bladder meridian passes through three places); People with deficient stool rotate and smoke moxibustion at navel, ventral side and lower abdomen. Zhou reminded everyone that moxa sticks are suitable for people who are weak or cold, but those who often have symptoms of heat and fire are not suitable. In addition, avoid scalding the skin during moxibustion.
