Is moxibustion effective for the elderly?

Moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, has received extensive attention in the field of elderly childbearing in recent years. Many elderly women hope to use moxibustion to improve the success rate of natural pregnancy. So, is moxibustion really effective for the elderly? How to improve the success rate? The following will be elaborated from four aspects.

1、 Recuperate endocrine

Moxibustion can stimulate the meridians of the human body, regulate the endocrine system, promote the secretion of estrogen and improve the ovarian function through the conduction of heat energy. Numerous examples have proved that moxibustion can help women with irregular menstrual periods adjust their cycles, increase ovulation index and enhance their fertility. Some hospitals, such as Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, have adopted the method of moxibustion, which has achieved a certain success rate among the elderly child-bearing patients.

In addition, moxibustion can also improve the internal environment of the uterus, increase the thickness of the endometrium, and is conducive to the implantation of fertilized eggs. Among the elderly women who received moxibustion treatment, the development of endometrium was significantly better than that of the people who did not receive moxibustion.

2、 Enhance immunity

With the growth of age, women's immunity gradually declines, and they are vulnerable to virus infection and disease. Moxibustion, as a warm therapy, can enhance the yang qi in the body, improve immunity and prevent inflammatory reaction. Through the stimulation of moxibustion, the immune cells in the human body are activated, which is conducive to improving the function of the immune system and improving the body's receptivity to embryos.

Not only that, moxibustion can also adjust and balance the body's yin and yang, improve the body's nutrition supply, and promote blood circulation. All these factors contribute to improving the fertility of elderly women.

3、 Relieve stress and anxiety

The elderly childbearing itself will bring great psychological pressure and anxiety to women. Stress and anxiety will have a negative impact on fertility, and even lead to poor uterine contraction, ovarian function decline and other problems. Moxibustion treatment can help elderly women relieve stress and anxiety, adjust physical and mental status, and enhance confidence and enthusiasm.

In addition, moxibustion can also help improve sleep and increase sleep quality. Good sleep is very important for women's fertility and health. It can improve the synthesis and secretion of reproductive hormones and promote ovulation and pregnancy.

4、 Comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine

Practice has proved that moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese and western medicine can achieve better results. At the same time of moxibustion treatment, doctors will comprehensively apply traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, nutrition supplement and other methods according to individual conditions to comprehensively improve the fertility of elderly women. Moxibustion, as an unconventional treatment method, is usually not used alone, but as one of the auxiliary treatment methods.

Summary

Based on the above four aspects, it can be concluded that moxibustion has certain effectiveness in the elderly childbearing and can help women improve their fertility. However, it should be emphasized that moxibustion is not a panacea, and its effects vary from individual to individual. In addition, moxibustion treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, and can not be operated blindly. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can improve the fertility success rate of elderly women.

Therefore, if the elderly women want to increase the fertility success rate through moxibustion, they should choose a regular hospital and accept the guidance and treatment of professional doctors.
