Introduction
You can perform moxibustion on the abdomen during ovulation, but it must be done under a doctor's guidance. Moxibustion has effects of warming the meridians, promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain, as well as warming the kidneys, boosting yang energy, removing blood stasis, and alleviating pain. Therefore, applying moxibustion to the lower abdomen, specifically on both sides where the ovaries are located, may help promote follicular development and ovulation. However, if you are trying to conceive during the ovulation period, moxibustion should not be performed.
排卵期能艾灸肚子，但一定要在Doctor的指导下进行，这是由于艾灸具有温经活血、调经止痛的功效，同时还具有温肾助阳、活血化瘀、止痛的作用的Effect，所以这时候采用温灸下腹部两侧的卵巢处，就可以促进卵泡的发育排出。如果在排卵期备孕有生育要求，就不能艾灸。具体内容如下：
艾灸是一种中医的传统疗法，有温阳通络、活血化瘀、止痛的作用，对于有下焦虚寒或者脾胃虚寒的Patient，即使在排卵期间，如果有Treatment的需要也是可以艾灸腹部的。
另一方面，艾灸导致体内Blood循环速度进一步加快，因为艾灸也会起到活血化瘀的功效，所以女性可能流血量会增加。再有就是在排卵期女性也会排出很多卵子，如果这个时候艾灸导致体温过高，可能会杀害卵子，导致卵子的质量下降，活力降低。因此我们Recommendation大家避开排卵期艾灸腹部。
