Cold Buttocks? Try Moxibustion on the Baliao Points

Cold Buttocks? Try Moxibustion on the Baliao Points!

Why Do Your Buttocks Feel Cold?

Do you often feel that your buttocks and lower back are cold, especially in chilly weather? Some people experience a persistent cold sensation in this area, even when dressed warmly or sitting in a heated room. This is often related to kidney yang deficiency, poor blood circulation, or damp-cold accumulation in the body.

If your buttocks often feel cold, you may also experience:
✅ Lower back and sacral pain, which can affect circulation in the legs
✅ Irregular menstruation or menstrual cramps (for women)
✅ Low energy and fatigue due to yang deficiency
✅ Frequent urination, urgency, or nocturia (frequent nighttime urination)

So how can you improve this condition? Try moxibustion on the Baliao Points!

What Are the Baliao Points?

The Baliao Points (Eight Liao Points) are located on the sacrum and belong to the Bladder Meridian (足太阳膀胱经). These four pairs of acupoints include:
🔹 Shangliao (BL31) – First sacral foramen
🔹 Ciliao (BL32) – Second sacral foramen
🔹 Zhongliao (BL33) – Third sacral foramen
🔹 Xialiao (BL34) – Fourth sacral foramen

Benefits of Moxibustion on the Baliao Points:
🌿 Warms and nourishes kidney yang, relieving cold sensations in the lower back and buttocks
🌿 Expels cold and promotes blood circulation, helping with menstrual pain and cold uterus syndrome
🌿 Regulates bladder function, alleviating frequent urination and urgency
🌿 Eases lower back and leg pain, improving circulation in the lower body

How to Use Moxa Sticks for the Baliao Points?

🔥 Step-by-Step Guide:

1️⃣ Choose the right moxa sticks: Use pure mugwort moxa sticks, which burn more effectively and deliver better therapeutic effects.
👉 Avoid carbonized moxa sticks! Although they produce less smoke, they lack the ability to penetrate the meridians, making them less effective.

2️⃣ Light the moxa stick, ensuring it burns steadily and produces warm smoke.
3️⃣ Locate the Baliao Points: Press on your sacral area to identify the sacral foramina (refer to acupoint charts for guidance).
4️⃣ Apply suspended moxibustion: Hold the moxa stick 3-5 cm (1-2 inches) above the skin, allowing a warm but comfortable sensation. Apply for 5-10 minutes per point, with a total duration of 20-30 minutes.
5️⃣ Keep warm after moxibustion: Avoid exposure to cold drafts, wear warm clothing, and allow the heat to penetrate.

💡 Best Time for Moxibustion:
✅ Do it in the morning before going out! This helps boost your energy levels throughout the day and keeps your body warm.
✅ If performing moxibustion indoors, use an air purifier or ventilation system to manage the smoke.

Precautions for Moxibustion on the Baliao Points

⚠ Avoid moxibustion on an empty stomach or right after a meal to prevent digestive discomfort
⚠ Not recommended for pregnant women, especially in early pregnancy
⚠ Do not apply moxibustion to open wounds or areas with skin infections
⚠ Ensure proper ventilation during moxibustion, but avoid direct cold drafts
