The self-recovery from a cold caused by wind-cold invasion is a process in which the body's vital energy (zheng qi) resists the cold pathogen. This process can be divided into several stages: initial stage with exterior constraint by cold, peak stage with struggle between vital energy and pathogen, relief stage with symptom alleviation, recovery stage with resurgence of vital energy, and healing stage with restoration of normal bodily functions. During the self-healing process of wind-cold感冒, it is important to observe certain precautions—ensuring adequate rest, drinking plenty of warm water, maintaining warmth, and avoiding re-exposure to cold to prevent worsening of the condition.

You can perform moxibustion 3 days after menstruation ends. At this time, the endometrium has mostly healed, so the thermal stimulation from moxibustion will not cause abnormal bleeding, and it avoids irritating the reproductive system before it has fully recovered.

Follow medical advice to take spleen-strengthening and dampness-resolving medications that promote the metabolism of dampness in the body and enhance intestinal motility and digestive function, thereby alleviating sticky and difficult bowel movements.

Cupping-induced discharge of bloody fluid primarily results from the rupture of local capillaries due to negative pressure, leading to a mixture of blood and tissue fluid oozing out. A small amount of light red fluid is usually a normal physiological response; however, if there is excessive bleeding, dark red blood, or pus, it may indicate local inflammation, blood stasis, or skin damage. In cases of abnormal bleeding, prompt medical evaluation is necessary.

Generally speaking, there is no definitive answer to "which specific site for moxibustion is most effective for lumbar muscle strain."
