In this way, drug particles can be absorbed through the skin, permeated through the stratum corneum, and reinforced by the dermis.
Blood circulation will increase skin temperature, thus dilating capillaries and promoting blood and lymph circulation.
Chinese medicine fumigation therapy has a long history. As early as Huangdi Neijing, there was a saying of "rubbing bath". Chinese medicine fumigation is one of the external treatments of Chinese medicine. It is based on the synergistic effect of heat and medicine, which can dilate tiny blood vessels in the skin, accelerate blood circulation, and implement treatment from the outside to the inside in warm. Skin is the largest organ of human body, which has many functions such as secretion, absorption, infiltration, excretion, feeling and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation is to make use of the physiological characteristics of skin and the characteristics of drugs entering the meridians and viscera, so that drugs can be absorbed through the surface layer of skin and enter the blood circulation, meridians and viscera to achieve therapeutic effects.
Chinese medicine fumigation therapy is physical therapy. Its mechanism is to stimulate local or systemic skin by warming, promote vasodilation, blood and lymphatic circulation, promote metabolism, improve local or systemic tissue nutrition and metabolism, and regulate the functions of systemic nerves and muscle joints, that is, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in Chinese medicine theory. The medicine has large absorption area through skin, direct action, no influence of internal environment, reduced gastrointestinal side effects and convenient administration. Huangdi's moxibustion fumigation therapy is a new Chinese medicine therapy developed on this basis. Chinese herbal medicines with special therapeutic effects on diseases are selected to make Huangdi Imperial Moxibustion Fumigation Health Care Package, which is heated by fumigation evaporator to form steam mist, which directly penetrates into the skin and is absorbed, thus achieving the functions of treatment, health care and disease prevention.
The symptoms and signs specifically targeted by moxibustion and fumigation therapy in Huangdi can be summarized as pain, swelling and joint dysfunction. We use bone fragments to supplement liver and kidney and strengthen bones and muscles; Angelica sinensis, safflower, frankincense and myrrh promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Notopterygii Rhizoma, Fructus Chaenomelis, Radix Saposhnikoviae and dehumidification, all of which are used together to promote qi circulation and blood circulation, warm channels and relieve pain. The physical dual functions of traditional Chinese medicine and fumigation therapy are integrated, so that the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine can open sweat glands under the warming effect, and directly penetrate into the skin and viscera through the whole body skin, orifices, points, infiltration, absorption, diffusion and radiation, so as to achieve the purposes of promoting qi and blood circulation, warming meridians and relieving pain, strengthening the body resistance, regulating the balance of yin and yang, enhancing immune function, regulating higher nerve centers and systemic physiological processes, and reducing the excitability and relaxation of nerve endings.
Drug fumigation should be based on personal physique, and the choice of Chinese medicine packages should vary from person to person and from illness to illness. If the lesion is small, local fumigation and washing can be taken; If the lesion is large, systemic fumigation can be taken; Patients with blood stasis choose a bathing prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; Patients with cold coagulation can use the prescription of warming and dispersing cold.
In addition, patients with severe heart disease, hypertension and other diseases should pay special attention to choosing the appropriate method of medicated bath. People with open wounds, infectious diseases, too old or extremely weak constitution are definitely not suitable for medicated bath and fumigation.
History of fumigation therapy in traditional Chinese medicine
Fumigation therapy has a long history, with the development of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 3000 years.
Fifty-two Prescriptions for Diseases is a silk book unearthed in Mawangdui. There are 238 Fang Yaozhong in the book, and there are 147 prescriptions involving external treatment. Among 52 diseases, 36 diseases were treated by external therapy, including fumigation and washing therapy. Fumigation therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is the earliest historical data.
There are records of fumigation therapy in Neijing. For example, "On Su Wenzhi's Jane" contains: "The bath of friction is the robbery of thinness; When it started, it was appropriate. " Another example is Lingshu Wan, which says, "If you are threatened, your name will be invalid every day ... You can boil one liter of grass roots in a bucket of six liters of water. After exhausting three liters, drink hard and sit on the kettle with thick clothes, which is enough to sweat. " This shows that fumigation therapy existed in the era of Neijing, which is the basis of fumigation therapy in later generations.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing initiated the dialectical treatment of exogenous typhoid fever and internal injury miscellaneous diseases, and was honored as a "medical sage" by later generations. In the book synopsis of the golden chamber, it is recorded that "washing it with Langya decoction" is used to treat vulvar sores.
The Elbow Emergency Prescription written by Ge Hong in Jin Dynasty is specifically aimed at emergencies. The book is divided into eight volumes, and the fumigation method is also introduced: for example, to cure cholera, "take a liter and a half of salt and a bucket of water, and if it boils, it will burn your hands and break your feet." In the chest, wash it with soup. "Another example is" Use a bucket of red beans, which is badly cooked. Take four or five liters of juice and keep it below the knee. "Treatment of edema.
From Tang Dynasty to Ming Dynasty, with the prosperity and development of prescription medicine, fumigation therapy has been further developed. In Qianjin Fang Yao, people introduced steaming to treat colds and fever, and fumigation to treat and prevent febrile diseases. Taiping Shenghui Prescription adopts the method of washing bones with medicine and steaming them. Compendium of Materia Medica also records a large number of prescriptions for fumigation therapy.
In Qing Dynasty, Wu Shiji wrote "Theoretical Parallel Prose", which recorded a large number of fumigation therapies, involving internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), fumigation therapy, as a traditional external treatment, has developed rapidly, enriched and improved as well as the whole cause of Chinese medicine. Especially since China's reform and opening up, fumigation therapy has made more remarkable achievements in popularization and application.
Today, the fumigation fever is popular all over the world. Because of its convenient operation, remarkable curative effect, wide application range, no pain and no side effects, Chinese medicine fumigation is more easily accepted by people. The Yellow Emperor excavated the fumigation prescriptions by moxibustion fumigation therapy, and made a comprehensive study of modern new prescriptions to make them more suitable for the needs of modern people's lives. In today's trend of advocating returning to nature, Huangdi's internal moxibustion and steaming therapy will become the inevitable trend of health care, and will play a more important role in preventing diseases and ensuring people's health.
The role of fumigation therapy
The whole function of fumigation is to stimulate the absorption of drugs by fumigating a certain part of the skin pores and acupoints, thus causing pharmacological effects and regulating the whole body.
Through fumigation, the skin can directly absorb, regulate meridians, distribute viscera, distribute blood and circulate blood.
cutaneous absorption
The skin covers the body surface, with a large area and many pores. It can not only protect tissues and organs in vivo from various external stimuli, but also has the functions of excretion and transdermal absorption. When drugs fumigate local skin, they may be transported and absorbed into the body through local skin mucosa, sweat gland hair follicle, stratum corneum, cells and their gaps. During fumigation, damp-heat drugs can strengthen hydration and skin permeability, and accelerate skin absorption of drugs, thus causing overall pharmacological effects.
(B) the role of meridian regulation
The human body is an organic whole, with meridians all over the body, closely connected with the skin, nine orifices of viscera and limbs. It can activate qi and blood, regulate tendons and veins, benefit joints and nourish yin and yang. Therefore, local fumigation is to regulate the meridian system through the stimulation of drugs and hot air to the skin meridians, so as to achieve the overall pharmacological effect and achieve the effect of pure visceral dysfunction and disease prevention.
(3) the function of viscera in cloth transportation
Body surface and viscera belong to exterior and interior, and meridians are connected. When drugs fumigate local skin, the drugs pass through the skin, enter the zang-fu organs through the channels and collaterals, and then are distributed to the whole body through the distribution function of the zang-fu organs, thus playing a role in treating diseases and preventing diseases.
blood circulation
Through fumigation, drugs are absorbed through skin mucosa, stratum corneum (including intracellular diffusion and interstitial diffusion) and epidermis. In addition, the stratum corneum is hydrated, so that drugs enter the blood circulation through one or more routes.
(5) Physical stimulation
Through drug fumigation, the heat of drugs can increase the skin temperature, dilate skin capillaries, promote the circulation of blood and lymph, improve the nutrition of surrounding tissues, help to dissipate hematoma and edema, and achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
(6) adjusting poison and sterilizing.
Through drug fumigation, toxic pathogens can move outward, pull out outward and penetrate outward, so that pathogens are not trapped in viscera, and drugs can directly inhibit and kill germs. In addition, the nerve reflex caused by drugs can stimulate the self-regulation of the body and promote the formation of some antibodies, thus improving the immune function of the body. So as to achieve the purposes of preventing diseases, treating diseases and beautifying.
