The Use of Moxibustion in Reproductive Medicine

What is it?

Moxa or Moxibustion is a kind of external heat therapy treatment based in the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  Moxa is the herb mugwort, or commonly known in China as Aie-ya. Therapeutically, moxa is used to treat and prevent disease by burning moxa on specific areas and acupuncture points on the body which enhances the healing action of that specific acupuncture point.  It can be burned without a flame with the thermal stimulation affecting both shallow and deep tissues of the skin.

Sometimes more extensive surgeries are unavoidable and required to continue towards the goal of conceiving.

One way to strategize a quicker recovery and reduce the stress that accompanies surgery is to consider the benefits surrounding pre and post operative acupuncture.

Surrendering to yourself, one breath at a time

Giving back to your body after suffering loss is one of the most empathetic and compassionate things you can do for yourself. The energy that is put into trying to conceive whether it be naturally or with an IUI or IVF cycle, the financial resources, anticipation and unfortunately sometimes the result we didn’t expect, can be a hard hit to the soul.

Picking yourself up after this point in the journey can be another expression of caring for your spirit.
