Does Moxibustion Delay Your Period by More Than 10 Days?

Menstruation is menstruation. Moxibustion generally does not delay menstruation for more than 10 days.

Moxibustion uses the heat generated by burning moxa to stimulate acupoints, thus achieving the purpose of conditioning the body. This method has the effect of warming meridians and activating qi. Moxibustion for patients with irregular menstruation can regulate menstruation and usually does not lead to menstruation delay.

Menstruation delay for more than 10 days is considered to be related to pregnancy, early-onset ovarian insufficiency, hypothyroidism and other factors. Women should go to the hospital for examination in time to clarify the causes of menstrual delay and standardize treatment.
