Fire therapy is a popular health therapy method nowadays, with many benefits and high praise. However, some women who want to do fire therapy may find themselves on their period. Can you still do fire therapy during menstruation? Will it affect the menstrual cycle?
Can you do fire therapy during menstruation?
It is generally not recommended to do fire therapy, especially on the first day of your period.
Fire therapy can dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, and promote blood circulation. Fire therapy during menstruation may lead to increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or even excessive bleeding. It is especially not recommended to do fire therapy on the waist and abdomen during menstruation. The uterus is located in the lower abdomen, and if the waist and abdomen are treated with fire therapy, the effects may quickly spread to the uterus, resulting in increased menstrual flow.
When is the best time to do fire therapy during menstruation?
Fire therapy can be done after the third day of your period.
On the third day of your period, some people are already almost done and even if there is still some bleeding, the amount is not much. By the third day, the endometrium has already shed and the basal layer begins to proliferate. Therefore, doing fire therapy after the third day has little impact on menstruation, but it is still important to avoid fire therapy on the waist and abdomen.
Does fire therapy affect menstrual flow?
Fire therapy may cause an increase in menstrual flow.
Fire therapy can invigorate blood circulation, regulate qi and blood, and doing fire therapy during menstruation or a few days before may result in increased menstrual flow. Fire therapy on the waist and abdomen has a higher chance of increasing menstrual flow, while the effects of fire therapy on other body parts on menstrual flow are less significant.
