Patient's question:
My menstrual flow is always very light, and I always feel like toxins aren't being properly eliminated from my body. Which parts of the body should I apply moxibustion to for a lighter menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
If you have a very small amount of menstrual flow every time during your period, it may be due to the deficiency of qi and blood in your body. Sometimes, if your endometrium is relatively thin, it can also lead to a smaller amount of flow. In fact, there isn't much toxicity in our bodies. Our menstrual period is actually the shedding of the endometrium. Therefore, if your menstrual flow is insufficient, it is recommended to promptly visit a local regular hospital for follow-up. Moxibustion can be applied to the ST36 (Zusanli) and SP6 (San Yin Jiao) points, as well as the CV6 (Qi Hai) and BL23 (Shen Shu) points.
