Pregnancy preparation refers to the stage of preparation for pregnancy. For couples who are preparing to have children, moxa is a commonly used herbal medicine during pregnancy preparation. It is believed to help promote the health of the female reproductive system and balance hormone levels. So, can moxibustion be used when preparing for pregnancy? The following will explain the role of Ai Zhu in pregnancy preparation from three aspects.
1. The function of Ai Zhu
Mugwort is the dried flower spike of mugwort, which has the effects of warming the menstruation and dispersing cold, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. In traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion is widely used in the treatment of gynecological diseases. For pregnancy preparation, moxa is believed to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle, improve ovulation quality, and increase the chance of pregnancy. In addition, moxibustion also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce endometrial inflammation, improve the uterine environment, and increase the implantation rate.
2. How to use moxa stick
There are two ways to use moxa during pregnancy preparation: internal use and external use. Oral administration of moxa can be done by brewing moxa tea, grinding the moxa into powder and brewing it for drinking. It is generally recommended to take it every day before or after meals, 5-10 grams each time, for more than one month, in order to achieve the effect of regulating menstruation and increasing the chance of ovulation. For external use of moxa sticks, you can choose moxibustion. Burn moxa sticks and place them on specific acupoints for moxibustion. It can promote blood circulation and improve the intrauterine environment through warm stimulation.
3. Notes
When using moxa to prepare for pregnancy, you need to pay attention to the following points. First of all, the dosage and method of using moxibustion should be decided according to your own physical constitution and specific conditions. It is best to do it under the guidance of a professional doctor or a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Secondly, when using moxibustion, you should pay attention to the quality and source of moxibustion, choose formal channels to purchase, and ensure no pollution. In addition, if you experience discomfort or adverse reactions while using moxa, you should stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
In summary, the use of moxa during pregnancy preparation can be used as an auxiliary method to help regulate the menstrual cycle, promote ovulation and increase the chance of conception. However, you need to pay attention to the dosage and method when using moxa, and proceed under professional guidance. The most important thing is that pregnancy preparation is a comprehensive process. In addition to moxa, you also need to pay attention to improvements in diet, living habits, etc. to increase the chance of pregnancy.
