Before applying pregnancy aid on the lower abdomen, we need to understand the correct methods and techniques to ensure the best results. The following are the correct methods and techniques for applying moxa on the lower abdomen during pregnancy:
1. Choose Suitable moxa sticks
When applying moxa sticks to the lower abdomen in preparation for pregnancy, we need to choose suitable moxa sticks. Moxa sticks are made from mugwort leaves and have the effect of warming the uterus. We can choose moxa sticks made from fresh mugwort leaves, or buy commercially available moxa sticks. No matter which one you choose, make sure the moxa sticks are of good quality and have no odor.
2. Gentle cleansing of the lower abdomen
Before applying pregnancy aid to the lower abdomen, we need to gently clean the lower abdominal area. Using warm water and non-irritating cleansing products, gently cleanse your lower abdomen to remove dirt and oil.
3. Massage the lower abdomen
Before applying the pregnancy aid on the lower abdomen, you can perform a gentle massage to promote blood circulation and relax the body. You can gently massage the lower abdominal area with your fingertips, preferably in a clockwise direction.
4. Prepare moxa sticks
Soak the selected moxa sticks in hot water for a while, then take them out to dry and use them when they are slightly warm. If you choose commercially available moxa sticks, follow the product instructions for preparation.
5. Apply moxibustion to the lower abdomen
Place the prepared moxa sticks on the lower abdomen, which can be the entire lower abdomen or a specific part, such as the uterus. Fix the moxa stick on the lower abdomen with cloth, and then press it gently a few times to make the moxa stick stick to the skin.
6. Keep the moxa application for a long time
The time of applying moxibustion can be determined according to personal circumstances, generally 20-30 minutes is recommended. During the application of moxa, you can choose relaxing activities that suit you, such as listening to music, reading, etc., to help your body relax.
7. Pay attention to the temperature of the moxa stick
The temperature of the moxa stick should be warm, not too hot or too cold. If you feel uncomfortable, you can adjust the temperature of the moxa stick appropriately or stop using it.
8. Use regularly
Pregnancy moxa applied on the lower abdomen is not effective once, it requires long-term persistence. It is recommended to use 2-3 times a week for several months. At the same time, depending on personal circumstances, you can choose to do it at a specific time, such as the 7th to 10th day after menstruation.
