Patient's question:
My colleague's gynecological condition is quite severe. The most uncomfortable symptom is her abdomen. Sometimes it swells to an unbearable extent, and at other times she has low-grade fever. Last year alone, she received three rounds of intravenous drips for this issue, which caused her immense suffering. Now, some people are also using moxibustion to treat gynecological inflammation.Doctor's answer:
The Guanyuan point is located on the Ren Mai meridian, 3 cun below the navel on the anterior median line. Moxibustion on this point can indeed treat certain gynecological conditions and diseases related to Qi deficiency.The Zhongwan point is located 4 cun above the navel on the anterior median line. It can treat conditions such as stomach pain, stomach bloating, vomiting, and acid reflux.
You can moxibustion these two points, but Guanyuan is not as effective as the navel (Dantian) in treating gynecological conditions. For gynecological treatment, it is recommended to moxibustion both points together.
