【3-Minute Warm Womb Method】
After taking a shower every day, use a hairdryer to blow the lower abdomen for 3 minutes (keep the hairdryer about 1-2 fists away from the belly to avoid overheating). This area includes important acupoints of the gynecological three-connecting lines: Guanyuan acupoint, Baomen (left), and Zihu (right). Guanyuan acupoint is located just above the uterus, while Baomen acupoint and Zihu acupoint are approximately equivalent to the position of the fallopian tubes on both sides. Using a hairdryer to warm this area daily can improve blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and enhance the function of the ovaries and uterus.
Also, it is recommended to do acupressure massage on these three acupoints using the thumb, pressing each acupoint for 5 seconds, 20 times for each acupoint. This will also promote intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation, and help slim the abdomen.
