1、 Moxibustion can improve female reproductive function
Moxibustion is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which stimulates specific acupoints of the human body through the heat generated by burning moxa leaves and the medicinal properties to achieve the purpose of conditioning the body. For the elderly women who have given birth, moxibustion can help improve the fertility function and increase the probability of pregnancy.
First, moxibustion can promote the blood circulation of endometrium and increase the thickness of endometrium. As women grow older, their endometrium will become thinner, which is not conducive to the implantation of fertilized eggs. The effect of moxibustion heat fumigation can accelerate the metabolism of endometrium, increase its ability to absorb nutrients, and thus improve the quality of endometrium.
Secondly, moxibustion can regulate the endocrine system of women. Endocrine imbalance is an important cause of fertility difficulties in the elderly. During the process of heat fumigation, the Chinese herbal ingredients released from moxibustion can stimulate specific acupoints, thus regulating the functions of pituitary, hypothalamus and ovary, regulating estrogen levels, and helping to restore endocrine balance.
*Later, moxibustion can also improve the immunity of female reproductive system. Women who give birth at an advanced age are often vulnerable to various diseases and have weak physical resistance. Moxibustion can enhance the immunity of female reproductive system and improve the body's ability to resist diseases through warm and medicinal stimulation.
2、 Moxibustion can improve the quality of male sperm
Moxibustion is not only beneficial to women's fertility, but also has a positive effect on the elderly men who give birth. Moxibustion can improve the quality of male sperm and enhance the ability to conceive.
Moxibustion can improve the testicular function of men and increase the quantity and quality of sperm. Moxibustion at specific acupoints can improve blood circulation of testes and promote sperm production. At the same time, the medicinal ingredients in moxibustion can also improve the vitality and motility of sperm, and increase the fertilization ability.
In addition, moxibustion can also regulate male endocrine system, improve testicular function and sex hormone level. The medicinal stimulation of moxibustion can regulate the function of hypothalamus pituitary gonad axis, promote the secretion and synthesis of male hormones, and thus improve the male reproductive ability through neural reflex and endocrine pathways.
*Later, moxibustion can also improve male sexual function. With age, male sexual function will gradually decline, affecting the ability to conceive. Moxibustion can improve the congestion and erectile capacity of the penis cavernous body, increase sexual desire and sexual satisfaction by stimulating the acupoints around the reproductive organs.
3、 Moxibustion can alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms during childbirth
Moxibustion can not only improve the ability to conceive before childbirth, but also relieve discomfort during childbirth, and increase the probability of success in childbirth.
Moxibustion can relieve women's discomfort such as low back pain, breast distension and pain during the preparation period and pregnancy period. Research shows that moxibustion can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue and soreness, and improve discomfort through warm stimulation.
In addition, moxibustion can also relieve women's pain during childbirth. Moxibustion before delivery can stimulate uterine contraction, promote cervical expansion, and reduce pain during delivery. At the same time, moxibustion can also improve the pain tolerance of puerpera by relieving emotion and stimulating the secretion of endorphins.
*Later, moxibustion can also adjust the body function in puerperium and promote the recovery of the body. After moxibustion treatment, the uterus of the parturient will return to its normal state more quickly, and the uterine contraction and lochia will be discharged more smoothly, which is conducive to the recovery of the puerperium.
4、 Summary
Moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, has obvious benefits for elderly childbearing. By improving female reproductive function, improving male sperm quality, and alleviating discomfort during childbirth, moxibustion can help elderly couples successfully achieve their reproductive aspirations.
However, it should be noted that moxibustion treatment should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid unnecessary injury caused by self operation. In addition, for elderly couples who have given birth, besides moxibustion, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, good mentality and other aspects are also important. Comprehensive maintenance of physical health is also very important to improve the fertility rate.
