We know that infertility and pregnancy preparation can be treated with moxibustion. Can pregnant expectant mothers use moxibustion to raise and protect their babies? Generally speaking, moxibustion during pregnancy needs to be used with caution, and the most important thing is to avoid the waist and abdomen!

First of all, this article only shares our views. The decision on whether to moxibustion during pregnancy is still in your hands. This answer is for reference only!

1, avoid the waist and abdomen, the temperature is not easy to be too high and the time is not easy to be too long!

Some people think that moxibustion is forbidden for pregnant women, but this idea is a bit extreme and too safe. In fact, for pregnant women with palace cold, it is excellent to use moxibustion to dispel cold and protect the fetus.

Our view is that as long as we don't moxibustion the waist and abdomen, and it doesn't directly affect the baby, we can use moxibustion to raise and protect the fetus.

In Harem, it is said that doctors overuse moxibustion to deliver a nun. Later, Chinese medicine experts interpreted this bridge. No matter in the opinion of some experts or from the explanation of Chinese medicine textbooks, this is completely reliable!

But it should be noted that:

① The moxibustion temperature of pregnant women is not easy to be too high, and it is better to be warm! The single time should not be too long, and each acupoint should be moxibustion for 5- 10 minutes. ② Moxibustion time during the whole pregnancy should not be too long. Moxibustion can be stopped in the third trimester. If you have been moxibustion in the third trimester, you are afraid that your baby will have fetal poison. During this period, moxibustion should be carried out in combination with your own physical condition. Pregnant women should use pure moxa, not medicinal moxa, that's too powerful.

2. What acupoints can pregnant women moxibustion?

Moxibustion is vital qi, which is needed by pregnant women and babies. Moxibustion can nourish both.

So how to do moxibustion? First of all, we should avoid the waist and abdomen. This is the key point, as mentioned above. Then we suggest that pregnant women can moxibustion some acupoints for strengthening the body resistance and promoting blood circulation, such as Zhongyu, Bajiao, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Yongquan. As long as you feel comfortable, you can moxibustion.

When the appetite is poor, moxibustion is used to stimulate the appetite and provide the baby with enough blood. Don't worry, you can moxibustion Zusanli. If you feel nauseous and vomit, you can moxibustion Neiguan point. When the mood fluctuates, you can control your mood by moxibustion at Taichong point, and when you sleep badly, you can moxibustion at Chongchong point.

However, it should be noted that if you feel uncomfortable after moxibustion during pregnancy, you should add or subtract acupoints at any time to make yourself feel comfortable. Of course, you can stop moxibustion at any time!

3. Illusion: Does moxibustion lead to abortion after pregnancy?

Some people moxibustion after pregnancy, and then think it is a side effect brought by moxibustion. However, this is not the case. As long as moxibustion is correct, it will not be harmful.

① The moxibustion temperature is too high and the time is too long!

The most important thing about moxibustion for pregnant women is to control the temperature and time. Try it! If the moxibustion time of pregnant women is too long and the temperature is too high, it may lead to excessive disorder of qi and blood, which is harmful to the baby!

It's too late to know! Not the more the better, but the right one is the best. When pregnant women are moxibustion, the temperature should be warm and comfortable. If you use a wooden moxibustion box or a walkman for moxibustion, you can cover it with a towel to lower the temperature.

② Congenital deficiency of the body.

If there is no mistake in moxibustion, but it still miscarries, this is largely because of serious congenital deficiency. Although moxibustion was done, moxibustion could not return to heaven in a short time, and then there was the illusion that moxibustion caused abortion. As we all know, there are many reasons that affect abortion-palace cold, gynecological diseases, poor intrauterine conditions and so on. These may lead to abortion, and these conditions can be adjusted by moxibustion.

My suggestion is to adjust these problems before pregnancy. Teacher Huang wrote an article before, "Having a second child, moxibustion should be adjusted for half a year". This is to create a warm and healthy growth environment for the baby. Of course, if you are pregnant with a baby, you can gradually improve the intrauterine environment through moxibustion, but you should do it step by step. Remember: avoid waist and abdomen, the temperature is not easy to be too high and the time is not easy to be too long.

Whether preparing for pregnancy or raising a fetus, the safety advantage of moxibustion is incomparable to any other therapy. Whether it is chemically synthesized western medicine or Chinese patent medicine, there will be more or less harmful substances left, which will affect the fetus, but moxibustion does not have this problem.
