I usually use Moxibustion for the first 40 days of postpartum

Moxa is a wonderful tool to help with:

  • Warming and Healing Support: The warmth from moxibustion enhances blood circulation, aiding the healing and contraction of the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size. This also helps expedite the process of shedding postpartum lochia, reducing the duration and complications associated with prolonged bleeding.

  • Energy Restoration: Moxibustion helps to replenish vital energy (Qi) and blood lost during childbirth, aiding in the recovery of physical strength and vitality.

  • Pain Relief: Effective in alleviating pain associated with childbirth recovery, such as back pain or pelvic discomfort, abdominal digestive discomfort
