The role of ginger-separated moxibustion
operational approach
Take a slice of ginger, choose fresh ginger, cut along the longitudinal direction of ginger fiber, and cut into ginger slices with a thickness of about 0.2 ~ 0.5 cm. The size can be determined according to the location of acupuncture points and the size of the selected moxa cone, and several holes are pierced in the middle with a triangular needle. When applying moxibustion, put it in the acupoint area, put a large or medium-sized moxa cone and light it. When the patient has a local burning sensation, lift the ginger slices briefly or change the moxa stick moxibustion again. Generally, each moxibustion is 5 ~ 10, with local flushing as the degree. After moxibustion, apply safflower oil on the moxibustion site. First, it can prevent skin burns. Second, it can enhance the efficacy of moxibustion in promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dispelling cold and relieving pain. In recent years, some acupuncturists have also adopted the method of ginger-separating moxibustion to reduce pus, which has a good effect on some diseases and syndromes. Moxibustion method and nursing after moxibustion can refer to purulent moxibustion method.
Matters needing attention
1. Ginger used for ginger-separated moxibustion should be fresh old ginger, which should be cut and used now, not dried ginger or tender ginger.
2. The thickness of ginger depends on the location and disease. Generally speaking, ginger slices can be thicker in sensitive parts such as face; For acute or painful diseases, ginger slices can be cut thin.
3. In the process of moxibustion, if the skin is accidentally burned, resulting in transparent and shiny blisters on the skin, attention should be paid to prevent infection. Treatment can refer to non-trace moxibustion.
