Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of any research or even an opinion on moxa smoke and pregnancy, that is continual exposure to moxa smoke like a pregnant acupuncturist or their aid or patient using it at home for morning sickness? With all the research out there on cigarette smoke and pregnancy causing allergies, asthma and I'm sure more serious things in the baby I've wondered about moxa, of course the moxa is not ladened with 3000 chemicals like a cigarette is but I'm sure it still must be harmful to the fetus and possibly the mother? I would love to hear any opinions on this matter or if anyone has heard of any research. Thank you very much. Maureen L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 hi maureen it is less the chemical content and more the 5 e pattern of fire on metal if moxa is in any manner frequent and prolonged, a 5 e damage is a possibility for mother & child mother has her metal open child has it shut i tend to paranoia when protecting patients is concerned if you were my case i would suggest no exposure to moxa out of hand if one feels adventurous, it is at the cost of a small baby who can't fend for itself hope this helps dr holmes Maureen Lamerdin O.M.D. wrote: > Hello, > > I am wondering if anyone knows of any research or even an opinion on moxa smoke > and pregnancy, that is continual exposure to moxa smoke like a pregnant > acupuncturist or their aid or patient using it at home for morning sickness? > With all the research out there on cigarette smoke and pregnancy causing > allergies, asthma and I'm sure more serious things in the baby I've wondered > about moxa, of course the moxa is not ladened with 3000 chemicals like a > cigarette is but I'm sure it still must be harmful to the fetus and possibly the > mother?
