Moxibustion, moxibustion in acupuncture and moxibustion therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, ignite the moxa cone made of Wormwood Leaves and moxa sticks mainly, and the acupoints of the body are fumigate to achieve a natural treatment for health care. The use of moxibustion originated in the human grasp the use of fire, time is in the stone age.
Moxibustion is produced in the ancient times of China, because its mechanism of action is similar to acupuncture therapy, and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with needle therapy, usually needles, moxibustion and use, so called acupuncture.
Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment has a profound impact on the world, but modern people say acupuncture is usually only pointer therapy, which has rarely contained moxibustion.
It is to stimulate the body surface acupoint or specific site produced by the moxibustion material made of Wormwood Leaves, and adjust the physiological and biochemical functions of the body disorder by stimulating the activity of the meridians, so as to achieve a treatment for the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
Function editing
Moxibustion in China has two thousand years of history, its curative effect has been confirmed by numerous clinical practice. The understanding of its mechanism remains a mystery. At this stage the mechanism of moxibustion with the following 5 aspects.
Local stimulation
Moxibustion is a kind of treatment method to prevent disease and cure the disease by irritation of fire in the basic specific parts of the body. The mechanism of moxibustion is related to the warm and hot stimulation of the local fire. It is this warm and hot stimulation, which makes the local skin hyperemia, capillary dilation, local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, relieves and eliminates smooth muscle spasm, strengthens the metabolic ability of local skin tissue, promotes inflammation, adhesion, exudate, hematoma and other pathological products to dissipate absorption; it can also cause cerebral cortex inhibition. The proliferation of sex substances can reduce the excitability of nervous system, play a sedative and analgesic effect, and at the same time, hyperthermia can also promote the absorption of drugs.
Regulation of meridians and collaterals
The meridian theory is an important part of Chinese medicine, and is also the theoretical basis of moxibustion therapy. Man is a whole, and the relationship between the five organs, the four limbs and the bones is mutual coordination. The coordination relationship is mainly achieved by regulating the meridians. Modern research shows that meridians and acupoints have three characteristics.
1., the meridians and acupoints have external sensitivity to drugs, that is to choose certain acupoints and general body surface points by the same moxibustion method. Their effects are obviously different.
2, the meridian and collateral action of meridian and acupoint on drug action is not a simple body surface route, but a multi-level, multi-functional and multi form regulation system. When applying moxibustion at the acupoint, it affects its multilevel physiological function. In this process, the results of mutual excitation, mutual synergy and superposition are produced, which leads to the physiological amplification effect.
The 3. meridians and acupoints have the effect of storing drugs on the storage acupoints of drugs. The physical and chemical effects of the drugs stay on acupoints or release to the whole body for a long time, producing the whole regulating function, so that the disease can be cured.
Immunomodulatory
Many experiments have confirmed that acupuncture can strengthen the immune function of mice. Many of the therapeutic effects of moxibustion are also realized by regulating the immune function of the body. This effect has the characteristics of two-way regulation, that is, the lower can make it increase, the high can make it lower, and in the pathological condition, this regulation is more obvious.
pharmacological action
Although the medication of moxibustion is more abundant than the internal therapy, it can also be seen from the clinical application of moxibustion and the clinical application of moxibustion and the acupuncture and moxibustion of Tai B and Lei fire. It is particularly worth mentioning is that the main function of AI moxibustion materials. In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yi Luo said in "the grass from the new": "Artemisia Artemisia, hot and hot, pure Yang, can go back to the dead sun, through the Twelve Meridian, three yin, Qi and blood, cold wet, warm uterus, stop the blood, open the depression in the warm, menstrual menstruation,... The AI can fire, permeability of the classics and in addition to all." It is no exaggeration to say that left AI moxibustion would not exist.
Comprehensive effect
Moxibustion plays a comprehensive role in the human body. It is the overall therapeutic effect of various factors that influence each other, complement each other and play together.
First of all, the moxibustion treatment is comprehensive. Such as the winter disease summer treatment, using the white mustard seed and other drugs to apply the suppurative moxibustion of the Shan Zhong, the lung Yu and the plaster to treat the asthma, as well as the anti senility of the Shenshu and other acupoints with the moxibustion, which includes the local stimulation (local purulent moxibustion, septum moxibustion), the meridians and acupoints (specific points selection) and the drugs and other factors, they are organic between each other. The connection is not single arc, but one is missing the original therapeutic effect.
Secondly, the effect of treatment is comprehensive. Moxibustion heat stimulates the adjustment of the local gas and blood, the fire stimulates the combination of drugs, which will inevitably increase the efficacy of the drug. The aromatics are especially easy to absorb in the warm environment. The moxibustion is applied to the acupoint, then it first stimulates the acupoint itself to stimulate the meridian and mobilizes the function of the meridians to make it better play the whole blood, blood, yin and Yang. Body action.
Thirdly, human reactivity and therapeutic effect are comprehensive. Treatment (moxibustion) - the external cause can only play a role in the internal cause (human reaction), the researchers found that the same moxibustion for patients with the same disease is different, the effect is not the same, the reason is that the human body reactivity is different. Under the guidance of TCM's holistic concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment, all the above factors should be chosen rationally and flexibly applied in order to give full play to the maximum efficacy of moxibustion.
Warming meridian and dispersing cold
The normal life of the human body depends on the function of Qi and blood, the action of Qi, the stop of blood, the stop of blood, and the popularity of the blood in the meridian. It is entirely due to the push of "Qi". For various reasons, such as "cold gas, heat, gas disease", can affect the blood born diseases epidemic change. However, the temperature is slippery, the air is cold and the blood is astringent. That is to say, the operation of Qi and blood is characterized by temperature and dispersion, and the characteristic of cold is coagulating. So Zhu Danxi said, "blood is hot and it's cold." Therefore, all diseases that are blood stasis and no heat are treated by warm air. "Lingshu" really evil thorn Festival article said: "the blood in your veins, coagulate and leave, not fire, can take". "Lingshu" ban clothing said: "in person, vein blood in, blood cold moxibustion, so it should". It is the application of moxibustion stimulation, play a role of Wen Jing Tong bi. Warm moxibustion on meridians and acupoints can warm the meridians and dissipate cold, and strengthen the operation of body Qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of clinical treatment. It can be used for cold moxibustion blood running sluggish, retention caused by condensate Shibuya arthralgia, diarrhea and other diseases, the effect is very significant.
Cosmetology
There are two different concepts of moxibustion beauty and cosmetic cosmetic surgery, cosmetic surgery, one is essential, the other is surface. Cosmetics can hide your shortcomings. Surgery can transform your structure and satisfy your temporary vanity, but none of these can give you real health. Because health keeps you young, shining, quick thinking and responsive, which is another kind of beauty at different levels. By taking medicine, injections or exercises, you may also achieve more or less the effect you expect. But there is no good moxibustion, moxibustion is dispel fatigue, restore vitality, energy, the most effective means of balance of yin and yang. There are many women's faces that are not smooth and clean, which are often caused by endocrine disorders, but actually they are still lack of Yang energy, rather than the common saying that they are angry. There are a number of these women: 1, the face on the face of acne women, often have serious downward disease, "heat and detoxification" often do not have any effect, because their heat is often hot, rather than real heat, supplemental Yang is still not caught, let alone frost. So moxibustion is the best choice. 2, women with chloasma on their faces often suffer from liver and kidney deficiency. Their physique is severely acidic. Moxibustion often results in unexpected effects. 3, fat women, not a surplus of nutrition, but the excess nutrition is only a concept on Western medicine, there is no such statement in traditional Chinese medicine, if which Chinese medicine is so blind, it must be a half. Even if it is a fat child, it is often not a surplus of nutrition, but the deficiency of Yang, often because in the period of pregnancy, parents have a lot of sexual life, resulting in children's deficiency, liver and kidney function imbalance, spleen transport and weakness. Women often have puffiness Anji excessive bleeding metrorrhagia. Too often obesity is due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, too thin and weak, often liver and kidney deficiency. 4, the nipple premature color dimmed, or nipple depression of women, often serious liver and kidney deficiency, Chong pulse, cold blood, and some even have a cough. These problems have a good effect on moxibustion.
