Why can Sun Simiao, the drug king, enjoy his centenary? That's why! ! !
What we often say about acupuncture is actually a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. However, the concept of acupuncture in society is often confused, and acupuncture is regarded as acupuncture. It is well known that acupuncture has excellent curative effect. I don't know, moxibustion also has a magical effect.

Sun Simiao, the drug king, attaches great importance to moxibustion. He said, "Ordinary people stay at home and go far away, and there is always a liter of cooked moxa." It means that you should take some refined wormwood with you for health care. The popular concept of "if you want to be healthy, you can't do it in three miles" was left by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, who was also a practitioner of moxibustion.

According to Tang Shi's records, this imperial doctor was in poor health before middle age, which can be described as frail and sickly. Sun Simiao's real experience is that "when I was a child, I caught a cold and repeatedly built a doctor's office, and all the money for soup and medicine was used up". A generation of imperial doctors actually lost everything because of lingering diseases.

By the time Emperor Taizong arrived, Sun Simiao was over 50 years old when he was called into the palace. Observing his appearance, skin color, figure and gait as a teenager, Emperor Taizong sighed: "Immortal figures such as Xianmen and Guangchengzi used to exist in the world. How can it be empty talk? "

Why can you enjoy your centenary when you are sick?

There have been countless summaries in history, the most important of which is that Sun Simiao attaches great importance to the methods of daily health preservation, especially to the health preservation function of moxibustion.

Tang Shi records: After middle age, Sun Simiao confirmed the efficacy of moxibustion in keeping healthy and getting rid of diseases through many studies, and began to use moxibustion to regulate his body frequently. Zusanli was the most common acupoint.

It is precisely because of the long-term use of moxibustion for health preservation that this wonderful doctor can still "listen to all directions and be radiant" in his 90 s, and even after his 100 s, he can still write and speak energetically.

Sun Simiao wrote more than 80 books in his life, and strongly advocated moxibustion in many later medical masterpieces. His concept of moxibustion health preservation has been regarded as a good word by doctors in past dynasties and has been passed down to this day. Qian Jin Fang Yao pointed out: "Moxibustion is not refined, and Zusanli is called' Changshou Point'.

During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, a physician named Wang Zhi An summed up Sun Simiao's moxibustion and its ancient prescriptions, combined with ancestral moxibustion, and finally created the most perfect moxibustion regimen in history. Emperor Qianlong was deeply impressed by the efficacy of this regimen in preserving health, eliminating diseases and prolonging life, so the imperial pen named it "Taihe Hanging Moxibustion".

Where the hell is Zusanli? Zusanli is located on the lateral side of the calf, 3 inches below the nose of the calf, connected with Xiexi, and the lateral sural cutaneous nerve is distributed in the superficial layer. That is to say, after the knee joint is bent at a right angle, measure the distance from four fingers to the eye outside the knee joint, and then measure the distance from the anterior tibial crest to the outside of 1 finger, and you can find this point.

Ai Langzhong doesn't have to go home for three years.

The ancients said, "The doctor is at home for three years, so you don't have to come." It is said that moxibustion is used for self-treatment.

The benefits of moxibustion.

1, harmonizing yin and yang. The balance of yin and yang in human body is fundamental to the occurrence and development of diseases. Using the reinforcing and reducing effect of moxibustion therapy, the effect of harmonizing yin and yang can be achieved.

2. Warming meridians to dispel cold. The warmth of Artemisia argyi leaves and the ignition of fumigation moxibustion make the heat reach the muscle layer, warm the qi machine and promote blood circulation. Moxibustion has the effects of warming channels and activating collaterals, dispelling cold and removing dampness, regulating qi and blood, relieving arthralgia and relieving pain.

3, qi and blood circulation, stasis and stagnation. It is good for gas to see heat, but it condenses when it sees cold. It is good for gas to see high temperature. Moxibustion is a kind of warm stimulation, which can coordinate qi and blood, camp and health, blood circulation, promote qi and blood circulation, remove blood stasis and dissipate stagnation.

4, warming the yang to make up the deficiency, supplementing the middle and benefiting the qi.

5. Return to Yang to save the inverse.

6, disease prevention and health care, physical fitness, longevity.

Moxibustion therapy has many functions. If the acupoints are different, the moxibustion methods are different, the degree of stimulation is different or the materials used in moxibustion are different, then the efficacy is different; Therefore, different acupoints and operation methods should be selected according to the specific condition in clinical application.

Moxibustion is a great method to support yang.

People often talk about supplementing, strengthening and supporting Yang, so what is it? Is it the same as kidney qi? What has it done for us? Why do you want to supplement the yang?

First of all, we should know what qi is. Qi is the source of material in the world, and the qi of human body is everywhere. According to different distribution and characteristics, it can be divided into five qi: primordial qi, ancestral qi, nourishing qi, defending qi and middle qi, which are collectively called Yang Qi.

Yang plays the role of warming viscera and nourishing bones and muscles. Just like the sun shines on everything, plants can carry out photosynthesis and thrive.

Yang Qi is the energy to maintain the normal metabolism of human life, and it is a process from weak to strong, and then gradually decays and dries up. Sufficient yang leads to good health, weak yang leads to poor health, and exhausted yang leads to death. Therefore, Yang determines people's health and longevity.

Due to the severe pressure of work and life, or their own bad hobbies, modern people often have sub-health conditions such as general weakness, mental fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness and bad temper, and even some women enter menopause before they are 40 years old. These diseases are caused by excessive consumption of yang.

So how is the yang being consumed? Because of exercise, thinking, fatigue, mental exhaustion and other factors, we unconsciously consume the yang. When sun be the spirit overdraws, life will come to an end.

Tonifying yang and strengthening yang is to conform to the laws of nature and supplement the daily consumption of yang, so that the body can achieve a state of balance between yin and yang and make people's vitality more vigorous. The wormwood used for moxibustion is a pure positive plant. After burning, the strength is stronger, which is the best shortcut to replenish yang and prolong life.
