In fact, moxibustion is not a passion that doctors admire for a while, but has a history of thousands of years and has always occupied a decisive position in Chinese medicine therapy.
"Introduction to Medicine" says: "Medicine is not as good as needle, it must be moxibustion".
Moxibustion has been widely used in the treatment and health care of diseases because of its unique efficacy. Moxibustion takes moxa as the main raw material, which is placed at acupoints or diseased parts for cauterization and fumigation. Through warm stimulation and drug action, it is an external treatment to prevent and treat diseases. It has a very long history, and there are many symptoms that need treatment, such as cold and heat. It is said that moxibustion can cure all diseases.
First, the six functions of moxibustion
1, warming meridians to dispel cold
To solve the problem of "cold pain", people's life activities depend on qi and blood, and qi circulates blood and blood circulates warm, so cold leads to qi stagnation and heat leads to qi disease. Moxibustion or moxa wool has the functions of warming meridians and dispelling cold because of its heat permeability, and can induce heat with heat to induce true yang in the body.
2. dredging channels and collaterals
There is pain in the body, and the reason for the pain is summarized as "it hurts if you get it, and it hurts if you don't respect it." Moxibustion has a very good function of dredging meridians, which can reconcile qi and blood and dredge meridians.
3, menstruation, dysmenorrhea, abdominal cold pain.
Ai Neng warms menstruation to relieve pain, and is especially good at regulating menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine regards moxa as an important drug for treating gynecological lower energizer deficiency or palace cold, which is used together with Cyperus rotundus, Angelica sinensis and Paeonia lactiflora, and is an ancient prescription "Aifu Nuangong Pill".
4. Treatment of deficiency-cold bleeding
It is best to treat deficiency-cold bleeding, especially gynecological metrorrhagia, and it can also treat blood-heat bleeding.
5. Fuyang and Shenyang
Ai is pure yang, and moxibustion on Du meridian is the best way to support yang. Due to the weakness and instability of yang, the deficiency of yang leads to deficiency in the upper part and excess in the lower part. As the Lingshu Sutra says, "If it sinks, it will be moxibustion". Therefore, moxibustion is often used to treat the symptoms of qi deficiency and sagging viscera. Therefore, moxibustion therapy can not only warm and help yang, promote yang to relieve depression, prevent miscarriage and consolidate menstruation, but also have curative effect on those who have unstable weiyang and loose acupoints.
6, adjust the balance of Yin and Yang
The balance of yin and yang will be healthy, while people with imbalance of yin and yang will have various diseases. Moxibustion can regulate the function of yin and yang, and restore the imbalance of yin and yang. The ancients believed that Yin Pingyang was a secret and did not cause disease.
