Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion. My friend said I can try moxibustion for it. Hello, which part of the body should I apply moxibustion for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cervical erosion can select the following acupoints: Moxibustion at Shenque (CV8), Tianhu (ST25), Guanyuan (CV4), and Qihai (CV6). If the patient experiences lower back pain, moxibustion at Yaoyangguan (BL23) can be added. These acupoints should be combined with Sanyinjiao (ST36). Choose two acupoints each day and moxibustion each point for 20 to 30 minutes, until a local redness is achieved. Persist for about two weeks, and the symptoms will gradually subside. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
