Moxibustion can be performed on pregnant women
if they are in good general condition, and in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, suffering from cold diseases and deficiency cold diseases, but there are no contraindications to moxibustion. In addition, moxibustion can be performed on the abdomen and lumbosacral region, but with the guidance of a doctor. If the pregnant woman is weak or in a state of satiety, fasting, fear or heatstroke, and the pregnancy time is short, the fetus is unstable, and moxibustion is generally not allowed to prevent abortion due to stimulation of uterine contractions.
