In general, moxibustion can be used to relieve menstrual cramps with good therapeutic effect. The actual moxibustion is a lot more than just a moxibustion, but you can’t do it on your own, otherwise you’ll get the opposite effect. For patients with dysmenorrhea, the first thing to do is to go to the hospital to rule out organic lesions, such as pelvic endometriosis, chocolate cysts or adenomyosis caused by dysmenorrhea, and for these cases consider surgery if necessary.
