Abstract

|
Moxibustion, which has a more than 4,000-year long history of use in East Asia, has been widely used for gynecological diseases. To investigate the effects of perineum (CV1) moxibustion on gynecological function, infertile women of childbearing age applied CV1 moxibustion for 30 days on a fixed schedule. The subjects had on average 2.4±1.1 cases of infertility-related disabilities. After CV1 moxibustion treatment, on average, the subjects showed improvements in 1.5±1.0 cases of their gynecological problems. In addition, 14.7% of the subjects got pregnant within 29±1.4 days after the treatment. This result shows that application of moxibustion on the CV1 and uterus is an effective treatment for gynecological diseases and that it can improve the function of gynecologic organs.
