Detailed Answer
Effects of Sitz Baths and Large Moxibustion for Pregnancy Preparation
Sitz Baths are a treatment that fumigates the perineum and the area around the uterus using steam from medicinal herbs such as mugwort. It is effective in improving blood flow within the uterus, alleviating coldness, and suppressing pelvic inflammation; receiving it consistently 1 to 2 times a week warms the uterine environment.
Large Moxibustion is a method that provides deep heat stimulation by placing large moxa cones on acupoints in the lower abdomen, such as the navel area and lower abdomen. Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system increases pelvic blood flow and improves uterine and ovarian function. Since sitz baths and strong moxibustion treatments are discontinued after pregnancy is confirmed, they are applied only during the pre-pregnancy preparation phase.
