Periods are called menstruation in clinical practice. Moxibustion has the effect of warming the menstruation and dispersing cold, which can promote the operation of the body’s qi and blood, and the consequences of moxibustion on the first day of menstruation vary for different women. For women with normal menstruation or those with heavy menstruation, moxibustion on the first day of menstruation may cause excessive bleeding, which may induce anemia and aggravate menstrual discomfort. However, for women with irregular menstruation and poor menstrual discharge, moxibustion can be performed appropriately under the guidance of a doctor to help stagnant blood in the body to be discharged, which is instead beneficial to women’s menstrual health. After moxibustion, it is important to keep warm, avoid cold, spicy and stimulating food, pay attention to rest, and also closely observe the menstrual condition. If a woman is undergoing physical therapy for other conditions through moxibustion, it is usually recommended that moxibustion be performed 1-2 days after the end of her period. If moxibustion is not performed during the menstrual period, it is recommended that the doctor be informed in a timely manner so that he or she can assess the woman’s health and decide whether to stop moxibustion treatment. It is also recommended to stop moxibustion and rest if excessive menstrual bleeding occurs, and to go to the hospital in serious cases to avoid delaying treatment. Moxibustion mainly uses moxa leaves to smoke acupuncture points, which is helpful for women with cold and weak constitution. However, moxibustion is an operation that increases heat and disperses cold, so it is not suitable for people with a hot body. These hot people may suffer from constipation, mouth ulcers, dry mouth, irritability and other discomforts, and moxibustion may aggravate the symptoms. In addition, moxibustion is also not suitable for people with high fever, too hungry or too full, etc.
