What is moxibustion?
Moxibustion is one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies. It is a method of hot fumigation by placing burning moxa leaves or sticks on specific acupoints. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion can regulate the movement of qi and blood in the human body, improve the function of viscera, promote blood circulation, and strengthen the physique and immunity. Moxibustion is widely used in the treatment of various common diseases, including infertility, irregular menstruation, pain symptoms, chronic fatigue, etc.
The Benefits of Moxibustion on Aging Fertility
Moxibustion is believed to be helpful to the elderly in childbirth, mainly in the following aspects.
1. Regulate endocrine function
As women grow older, their endocrine function gradually declines, affecting the function of the ovary and the quality of eggs. Moxibustion can promote the recovery of ovarian function, adjust the endocrine level, improve the quality of eggs and the development of follicles by regulating the meridians and supplementing qi and blood. The study found that after a certain period of moxibustion treatment, the ovarian function of elderly women has been effectively improved, increasing the chance of pregnancy.
In addition, moxibustion can also help regulate the thickness of endometrium and blood supply, increase the capacity of endometrium for fertilized eggs and implantation rate, and create good conditions for the pregnancy of elderly women.
2. Promote blood circulation
The increase of age will slow down the blood circulation and affect the blood supply and oxygen supply of the uterus and ovary. Moxibustion can improve the local blood circulation, increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients, and help to improve the function of the uterus and ovary through heat fumigation.
Moxibustion can also regulate the blood circulation of the whole body, improve the symptoms caused by insufficient qi and blood, such as cold hands and feet, fatigue and weakness, improve the overall health status, and enhance the ability to adapt to pregnancy.
3. Relieve anxiety and stress
Older childbearing brings great pressure and anxiety to women, and the probability of pregnancy is often reduced when the psychological state is not good. Moxibustion can help relax body and mind, relieve anxiety and pressure, and improve emotional stability. Research shows that after a period of moxibustion treatment, the testosterone level of elderly women has decreased, and ovarian function has been regulated, thus improving the chance of pregnancy.
4. Enhance immunity
Older women are prone to decline in immunity, which may lead to ectopic pregnancy, abortion and other problems. Moxibustion can regulate the human immune system, enhance immunity, and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy.
conclusion
To sum up, moxibustion can help the elderly to have children. By regulating endocrine function, promoting blood circulation, relieving anxiety and stress, and enhancing immunity, moxibustion can improve the pregnancy rate of elderly women and reduce the incidence of pregnancy complications. However, moxibustion is not a panacea, and comprehensive treatment still needs to be combined with individual conditions and doctors' guidance to improve the chances of success in childbirth. Therefore, it is very important for elderly expectant mothers to consult professional doctors as early as possible, conduct a comprehensive assessment, and make scientific and reasonable treatment options according to the doctor's suggestions.
