Acupuncture Ladies!

My last 2 treatments she has done a moxa treatment. I am just wondering if any of you have had that treatment? I am seeing the same lady I saw during my IVF, but she has branched out onto her own since then and wasn't able to do that treatment there. I found it quite interesting.

    I had moxa done during my first loss for my "cold uterus". She even took a sharpie and marked a few points for me to do at home. She sent the stick home with me. I really enjoyed moxa but, I don't know much about it.

    I finally looked it up, again pretty interesting. She also talked about warming foods, which I have heard a few of you ladies talk about on here. I have been eating chili for a week now hoping it will help.

    Yes, nothing cold. No salads or drinks with ice. Only cooked food and warm tea. I drank hot chocolate :) I was even told to keep my abdomen warm. No midriffs, ect. (Not that I could pull off a midriff top but whatever) lol. I think cinnamon and ginger are good for it too.

    I've heard of moxa, but never had my acupuncturist do it.  I wouldn't mind any extra thing that could possible help though!  I am super excited that I will start going back to acu in February.  We were delaying it because of financial reasons (the holidays and DS's birthday part) and hoping the herbal teas would do their magic before then.  But I am glad to get to go back.

    I love acupuncture. I am so glad I started doing it again. I do understand the financial part of it also, that's why I stopped going during my second trimester. We really have to budget for it, we basically cancelled our satellite to pay for it lol.

    Yes, I had it done when I had acupuncture when TTC for ds. I really liked it. She did moxa at every appt and sent me home with a moxa stick. I think she did it over my ankles and uterus. I thought it was really relaxing if nothing else.
