Today, I will briefly introduce the method of moxibustion treatment of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is the most common disease in men's health. Due to the special anatomical location of the prostate, which is located inside the abdominal cavity, the symptoms are very mild when the inflammation first occurs, and many people do not pay attention to it. However, if male friends experience symptoms such as urinary discomfort, frequent urination, urgency, dizziness, fatigue, dreaminess, insomnia, premature ejaculation, etc., they may have prostatitis and should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid misdiagnosis. In addition to drug treatment, the following is a method of Chinese medicine moxibustion to treat prostatitis:

Moxibustion acupoints:

You can choose Huiyin point, Shenshu, Mingmen, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Sanyinjiao, Qihai, and Baliao points. For those with lumbar and sacral discomfort, focus on moxibustion of Shenshu and Ciliao; for those with lower abdominal discomfort, focus on moxibustion of Guanyuan and Sanyinjiao.

Moxibustion method:

The acupoints on the waist and abdomen can be moved with a four-hole moxibustion box. The acupoints on the waist and abdomen should be moved for no less than 40 minutes. The acupoints on the limbs should be moved for 15-20 minutes each. Gentle moxibustion is enough to avoid burns.

effect:

Moxibustion can warm and nourish the kidney yang. Guanyuan acupoint belongs to the Ren meridian, located in the midline of the abdomen, 3 inches below the umbilicus. This acupoint is the "recruiting point" of the small intestine, the meeting point of the three Yin meridians of the foot and the Ren meridian, and the place where the body's vital energy is located. It is also known as "Dantian". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Guanyuan is the place where the true yang resides and where the essence and energy are generated. Moxibustion on Guanyuan can make the clear yang rise, the turbid yin descend, the original yang warm, and the blood fill. It can nourish the kidney and strengthen the foundation, replenish qi and restore yang, regulate Chong and Ren, and regulate qi and activate blood circulation. Moxibustion on Guanyuan can treat cold accumulation, hernia in men, nocturnal emission and turbidity, mass accumulation in women, leucorrhea after menstruation, and various deficiencies. Eight acupoints are called "Baliao". They are Shangliao, Ciliao, Zhongliao and Xialiao. This is an area where the pelvic cavity is located, close to the uterus. Among them, moxibustion on Guanyuan and Baliao is the main treatment. If the perineum is painful, moxibustion on the perineum can relieve inflammation and pain.

Notes:

Experts especially remind the majority of prostatitis patients to pay attention to rest after moxibustion, not to drink tea, not to eat in order to nourish qi and blood; avoid excessive fatigue, quit masturbation, moderate sexual intercourse, avoid long-term riding, avoid spicy food, tobacco, alcohol and other stimulants.
