I went to get acupuncture yesterday because it always help with my menstrual cramps. Yesterday I was having the heaviest and most painful day of my cycle :(
My acupuncturist used moxibustion (or moxa) to heat up the area to generate warmth and bloodflow. It is basically a stick made out of herbs that is burning and the Dr. puts it over certain accupuncture points above your uterus/ovaries. You can google it for more info. My cramps calmed down a lot and when I got home I passed a few big clots. He said this might happen because the moxibustion encourages the uterus to get everything out. Sorry if this is TMI but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this or tried it? It was very calming and warm..i immediately felt relief.
I feel great today.
