3. Moxibustion therapy

Moxibustion achieves the goal of warming meridians and stopping bleeding through warm stimulation. Commonly used acupoints include Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Zu San Li, etc. Ginger separated moxibustion or mild moxibustion can be used, with each acupoint moxibustion lasting 5-10 minutes, with local skin redness as the degree of intensity.

People with spleen deficiency can eat spleen strengthening ingredients such as yam, red dates, and lotus seeds, while those with kidney deficiency are suitable for kidney tonifying foods such as black sesame, walnuts, and goji berries. During bleeding, lotus root charcoal and mugwort charcoal can be used to boil water instead of tea, which has a astringent and hemostatic effect. Normally, moderate consumption of Danggui Ginger Lamb Soup is recommended, but it should be avoided during acute bleeding. Patients with blood heat type should avoid warm foods such as lamb and longan, and can consume cool blood ingredients such as water chestnuts and lotus roots in moderation.

5. Life care
