Shenque is the navel eye and the name of an acupoint on any pulse of the human body. Que is the gate of Miyagi, where the monarch lives, and Shenque is the gate of human body. As we all know, umbilical cord is the only way for babies to absorb nutrition from their mothers, and it is the first thing that grows on the fetus. With the umbilical cord, the kidney is regenerated. According to the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, the kidney belongs to water, and "water falls from the sky" is the beginning of human growth. After the baby is born, this channel for absorbing nutrients is closed. Pressing or moxibustion at Shenque point is equivalent to restarting this channel, stimulating one's own potential from the source of life, and its function is to stimulate one's Shen Yuan and vitality. The so-called "Shen Yuan" and "Yuan Qi" refer to the divine kindness that people have at the beginning of their lives, and their power is powerful, otherwise they cannot develop into fetal life. Shen Yuan and Yuan Qi have been with people all their lives. Many diseases are caused by the weakness of lacquer, but as long as Shen Yuan and Yuan Qi are reactivated, any disease can be cured quickly. The song says, "Moxibustion at Shenque point often will cure all diseases."
To inspire the Yuan gods and vitality, we should go to the place where they live. This place is a sacred place. Shenque is an important acupoint to bring back the dead.
The winter solstice is the first important solar term among the 24 solar terms in China's summer calendar (lunar calendar and lunar calendar). Similar to noon, the cathode is positive, that is, the yang begins to grow. Winter is a tonic season, because the heat in winter is in the body, which can digest something that is not easy to digest; At the same time, you can also do some physical auxiliary measures. For example, you can buy moxa sticks and smoke around Shenque point. Shenque point is a very basic point connecting us from nature to nurture. Fumigating Shenque point at the time of the handover of Yin and Yang from the winter solstice or four days before and after is beneficial to the health.
Moxibustion at Shenque point has many advantages. You can choose ginger moxibustion or salt moxibustion. Four days before winter, four days after winter, and nine days of Shenque moxibustion will protect you from diseases in the new year. The cathode of winter solstice is born in the sun, and moxibustion Shenque is at that time. Don't be negative for a good year to ensure that you will be young in the future.
The word "moxibustion" is interpreted as "burning" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, which means burning the body to treat diseases. "Moxibustion" is a kind of therapy to prevent or treat diseases by stimulating skin acupoints, stimulating meridian function and regulating viscera function with warmth. Moxibustion is not only effective for cold diseases and deficiency syndrome, but also a good health care method. "Su Wen" has a cloud: "Standing at forty, the yang is weak, and life is uncertain. Fifty years old, my eyes and ears are not bright. The true nature of a lady is the master of the whole body. When the true qi is strong, people are strong. If the true qi is insufficient, people will get sick. As soon as the true qi is removed, people die. The way to save their lives is to burn moxa first. " There are many forms of moxibustion. Moxibustion with moxa stick is commonly used, and it is also a common saying in modern times.
Under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "solar moxibustion" is a special moxibustion method that combines moxibustion with "time therapy" by choosing different acupoints according to different physical conditions. "Winter solstice moxibustion" is a kind of solar moxibustion, that is, moxibustion is performed in winter solstice. Winter solstice is an important solar term among the 24 solar terms in China summer calendar. On this day, the nights in the northern hemisphere are the longest, and then the days gradually get longer. At this time, "the cathode is a Yang". From this day on, yin disappears and yang grows. Therefore, winter solstice moxibustion can conform to the ascending qi of nature, and the harmony between man and nature can greatly enhance the warming power of moxibustion, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, eliminating diseases and prolonging life, which is the embodiment of the preventive health care thought of "preventing diseases before they occur" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Guanyuan is the first choice for winter solstice moxibustion. Guanyuan point, also known as Dantian, is an acupoint on Ren meridian, located in the lower abdomen, on the front median line, 3 inches below the navel, that is, 4 fingers directly below the navel. This point has the functions of warming kidney, strengthening yang, strengthening body, regulating qi and restoring yang. Moxibustion can make the vitality sufficient, and the deficiency can be recovered, so it can eliminate fatigue and enhance the qi of the whole body. All previous dynasties are the key points of strong health preservation. "Jing Yue Quan Shu" said: "Deficiency fire causes fever, so tonic must be warm." Guanyuan moxibustion conforms to the characteristics of "nourishing and warming", which can warm and strengthen the body and improve the body's disease resistance. "Bian Que's Heart Book" records: "At the turn of summer and autumn, I burned thousands of columns, and I was not afraid of cold and heat for a long time. When I was 30 years old, I could get the top 300 under my navel once every three years. Fifty, you can moxibustion the top 300 under the navel every two years; Sixty, once a year, it can be 300 strong under the navel, making people live forever. " In order to strengthen the function of tonifying deficiency and keeping healthy, we can cooperate with Shenque, Zusanli, Zhongwan and Shu Fei points.
Specific operation: during the winter to Sunday (winter to four days before and after, winter to nine days after), moxibustion is better in the season of kidney meridian.
Avoid wind when moxibustion; You should concentrate on calming your breath, avoid burning sensation, and pay attention to the deep penetration of warm sensation into the abdomen, so as to better achieve the thermal penetration of the waist and sacrum; During moxibustion, the burnt ash of the moxa stick should stay on the moxa stick as much as possible. The fire with ash is weak in temperature, supplemented by slow fire, and the fire without ash is fierce, which is a violent fire diarrhea. Moxibustion at Guanyuan point from winter to the sun should be kept warm, and warm fire should be used, but it should be noted that moxa sticks fall off and burn the skin. It is not suitable to get cold before and after moxibustion, such as cold water washing, bathing, going out like the wind, eating cold things, etc. Moxibustion is mainly suitable for deficiency syndrome, cold syndrome and yin syndrome. Moxibustion can be used for health preservation and also for people with yang-heat and yin-deficiency constitution. Moxibustion for patients with yang heat is from the significance of treatment, which leads to the return of fire; Yin deficiency takes yin and yang as the length, and Danxi's mental method says: "The collapse of a serious illness is due to yin deficiency, so those who use moxibustion show their field, so they replenish their yang, while the yang is born, so the yin is long." However, those with yang heat need less moxibustion (short moxibustion time with big fire), and those with yin deficiency need less moxibustion firepower (long moxibustion time with small fire), that is, "big fire eats gas, and less fire gets angry".
Moxibustion time: from winter to 4 days before and after, *** 9 days. This year's time is 65438+February 18 to 26.
Method 1. Hanging moxibustion: ignite one end of the moxa stick, aim at Guanyuan point, and smoke it every 2-3 cm, so that it is appropriate to have a warm feeling locally without burning pain. Every day 10~ 15 minutes. Method 2: Warm Moxibustion: Warm Moxibustion: Fill 4-column and 4-column wooden warm moxibustion boxes at Shenque point and Guanyuan point, or smoke and bake a proper amount of 3-and 5-year-old moxa sticks or medicinal moxa sticks, so as to make the local feel warm and not burning. Every day 1 hour. Local white towels can be padded.
Precautions:
(1) When moxibustion, be careful of cold and avoid cold and greasy.
(2) It is not advisable to moxibustion umbilical cord just after a meal or on an empty stomach.
(3) Those with excess heat syndrome and fever due to yin deficiency are not suitable for moxibustion.
(4) Don't take a bath or wash your hands with cold water within half an hour after moxibustion.
(5) Pregnant women are prohibited from moxibustion.
Analysis on the causes of moxibustion from winter solstice to sun;
Winter solstice is the most important solar term in health preservation, mainly because "winter solstice is a sunny life" According to the gossip theory, this is a mine prediction. In divination, there are five Yin hexagrams at the top and one Yang hexagram at the bottom, which symbolizes the birth of Yang. When Yang is born, just like farmers' seedling raising and women's pregnancy, it needs careful care and careful nursing to make it thrive. Only when the body is full of Yang Can can people achieve the goal of getting rid of diseases and prolonging life. At this time, moxibustion at Guanyuan point is to strengthen the primary yang in the body, grow slowly and grow for the body.
As the saying goes, "it is three days in summer and three days in winter", and the solstice in winter is the best time to replenish yang, which is of great benefit. Professor of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine told the reporter that the winter solstice moxibustion, as its name implies, is to select acupuncture points with the function of strengthening health and implement moxibustion on this acupuncture point during the winter solstice. Combined with solar terms, moxibustion and acupoints, health moxibustion in winter solstice can warm yang, replenish qi, warm channels and dispel cold, thus improving the cold resistance and disease resistance of the body, improving human immunity and adaptability to climate change, and prolonging life. draw
The time of winter solstice every year is between 0 and 23 in Gregorian calendar 65438+February 265438+. This year is 65438+February 22nd, which means12.18-12.26 is the moxibustion time from winter to Sunday this year. According to modern astronomical science, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn from the solstice in winter, with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, China used earth gauges to observe the sun to determine the time of winter solstice. In ancient times, people attached great importance to this period, thinking that when Yang was born, it should be carefully protected and nursed like farmers' seedling raising and women's pregnancy, so that it could grow sturdily. Only when the yang in the human body is sufficient can we achieve the goal of getting rid of diseases and prolonging life. Moxibustion in winter solstice is a traditional Chinese medicine health care method to achieve this goal, and it is a vivid embodiment of TCM's preventive health care thought of "preventing diseases before they occur".
