Why we use moxa for fertility support 🌿
Moxibustion (warming dried mugwort near acupoints) increases circulation to the pelvic region. Better blood flow to the uterus means improved endometrial thickness and a more receptive environment for implantation.
Common applications:
• Warming the uterus in “cold” patterns (cold extremities, painful periods with clots)
• Supporting luteal phase and healthy progesterone
• Turning breech babies (BL 67)
• Reducing stress through the parasympathetic response to warmth
The evidence: There are good studies out that suggest moxa may improve IVF outcomes and regulate cycles. Clinically, our patients report feeling more relaxed, less cramping, and improved cycle regularity.
Not every fertility case needs moxa, but when indicated, it’s a powerful, low-risk support.
