Menstrual cramps caused by Cold

[Guest guest]

>Moxa as Victoria stated is generally used for cold (and works well) I have also

used it for menstrual discomfort and infertility.

 

Ginger tea can work wonders on menstrual cramps caused by Cold. Even the bottled

ginger you buy in the spice section of the supermarket can do this. The dose is

between 1/8 and 1/4 teaspoon per cup of hot water. Just stir it in. (Dried

ginger has Hot energy; raw ginger has Warm energy. Dry ginger is best for

warming the Interior; raw ginger is best for Exterior conditions. BTW, dry

ginger is contraindicated for pregnant women. Use raw ginger very cautiously

when ginger is used to treat morning sickness in pregnant women.)

 

>Again these things are generally related to cold. Moxa is said to give Qi and

you can even rub the ashes on points to stimulate them. In cases of

inflammation where heat is theraputic Moxa can be very helpful.

 

Thanks. I didn't know it had this use.
