Therefore, in the case of more moxibustion points, if the moxibustion sequence is improper, it will directly affect the therapeutic effect and may even bring some unnecessary troubles.
Some patients say that they get angry with moxibustion, and they have a headache and brain fever, which is very uncomfortable. After judgment, it is not a physical reason. Why is this?
It turns out that the order of his moxibustion is too random. After applying moxibustion on the abdomen and back, he remembered the head problem and began to apply moxibustion on the head. My breathing is messed up. No headache!
The movement of yin and yang in the body has its own laws, generally from the part with sufficient yang to the part with weak yang. What's wrong with some people's cold hands and feet? Because the middle is blocked, the yang can't pass, or the yang is already weak, and it has already "exhausted its strength" before it reaches its hands and feet.
To do moxibustion, we must know how to conform to the laws of healthy exercise in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
What order should moxibustion follow?
Qian Jin Yao Fang: "All moxibustion begins in Yang and ends in Yin, ends in left and ends in right". Moxibustion must follow the law of yang first, yin later, upper and lower first, left and right first, and back and abdomen first.
Yang comes first, then Yin. The standard of yin and yang here can be found in Huangdi Neijing. There is a cloud in Yan Si, a synopsis of Su Wen's golden chamber: "When a husband talks about Yin and Yang, the external Yang is internal Yin. When it comes to yin and yang of the human body, it means that the back is yang and the abdomen is yin. Upper yang and lower yin, left yang and right yin, in the limbs, the palm is connected with the arm and abdomen as yin, and the back of the foot and the front of the leg are yin, and vice versa. "
According to the above order, Yang comes first, then Yin, and from Yang to Yin, there are not too many disadvantages. From top to bottom, you can avoid the feeling of facial discomfort. Less first, then more, mainly to enhance Ivy's firepower from weak to strong, so that people can easily accept it. People who need strong moxibustion can start with little moxa cone and gradually replace big moxa cone, or use little moxa cone to replace strong moxibustion. Clinical moxibustion should be based on personal circumstances.

The principle of first up and then down.
The head is the meeting of all yang, and the yang of the human body comes from the sun. When the sun fell to the ground, the earth rose to the sky and everything was born. This legal principle that "Yin rises while Yang falls" cannot be violated. If the weather rises instead of falling, and the atmosphere falls instead of rising, the world will be blocked and everything will be lost.
Therefore, people who want to use moxibustion to warm yang and meridians must follow the order from top to bottom, guide the yang in the sky to release from top to bottom, warm bones and muscles, bring forth the new, and turn turbidity into yin. Although the work is a little slow, it is gradual and solid, and it will never be frequent in the future. Otherwise, not only can we not get rid of the disease, but evil spirits will also attack and become a bad card.
Dongji in the Song Dynasty recorded the method of moxibustion to treat beriberi, that is, from top to bottom, moxibustion was applied to Shi Feng, Futu, Niubi, Inner Knee Eye, Zusanli, Shanglian, Xia Lian and Hanging Bell in turn; There is also the spray-frying method, which expounds the importance of sequential treatment and the consequences of misuse.
The author is a patient in Ceng Zhi. His foot is swollen and painful. The doctor is unknown. He pushed from bottom to top and dispersed, resulting in crane-knee syndrome and stiff and painful joints. To correct this mistake, it took three months from summer to winter. What is the key to the order? Can you be sloppy?

The principle of less first and more later.
All moxibustion should follow the principle of gradual progress, with less first and more later. I can't make up for it once, and I don't know how to control it. But when you see yang deficiency, you often burn moxa fire, fearing that the effect will be slow. It should be noted that yin and yang are mutually rooted, so-called yang deficiency, if not caused by acute diseases, will also have yin deficiency, named after yang deficiency. People who don't know the inside story are happy for a while, and when they see the symptoms of yang deficiency, they often use large doses of moxibustion to make up for it. Not only can they not nourish, but they can also cause other symptoms.
Every time the sages teach precepts, such as "deficiency can't be supplemented", "yang can't be supplemented and it hurts yin", "yin can't be supplemented and it hurts yang" and so on. If moxibustion is a kind of green therapy, it doesn't matter if it is misunderstood as adding more moxa fire, just like eating too much ginseng and getting poisoned. There is no difference between good and bad therapy itself, but the key lies in the good use of users. Therefore, moxibustion treatment must be done slowly and not rashly.
Doctors should understand and correct some patients' own misunderstandings, and should not blindly follow their own interests and let it go. A patient with kidney deficiency and low back pain in Ceng Zhi felt obviously better after moxibustion, and frequently asked to extend the moxibustion time, but he could only double the amount of moxibustion. The next day, I came to see a doctor and asked him if he slept well yesterday. He should be fidgeting at night, urinating yellow and chewing gum. This is caused by excessive heat and yin injury, so it can be seen that repairing the foundation was not done in a day. If we are insatiable and aggressive, what can we do without hurting the fundamentals?

The principle of yang first and yin later.
How to divide yin and yang in different parts of the human body?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the back and upper body belong to yang, and the abdomen and lower body belong to yin. The head is yang and the foot is yin; Yang on the left and Yin on the right. Therefore, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the order of moxibustion treatment is generally:
Moxibustion on the upper part first, then moxibustion on the lower part.
Moxibustion on the back first, then moxibustion on the abdomen.
Moxibustion on the head and body first, then moxibustion on the limbs.
First moxibustion on the left side, then moxibustion on the right side.
In daily health care moxibustion, moxibustion according to the above methods will have a good effect. Of course, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and many methods of conditioning diseases are not unique. Generally, symptoms should be relieved first, such as moxibustion at Ashi point and other key points.
Experience sharing of moxibustion

Experience 1: there is more moxibustion on the back and less moxibustion on the chest and diaphragm.
Generally speaking, head, face, chest and diaphragm are not suitable for moxibustion, while fleshy parts such as back and lower limbs are harmless, especially long-term moxibustion at back acupoints is harmless, and any moxibustion method can be used.
There are many important acupoints on the back, such as Shu Fei, Xinshu, Shu Ge, Ganshu, Qihai Shu, Guanyuan Shu and Sanjiao Shu. Frequent moxibustion at Dachangshu can promote qi circulation and relieve depression, and clear the bowels and relieve constipation. Frequent moxibustion at Guanyuanyu point can regulate menstruation and control menstruation. These acupoints correspond to internal organs one by one, so back moxibustion can relieve diseases and prolong life.

Experience 2: Yang first, then Yin, then left and then right.
Moxibustion sequence is discussed in detail in ancient works. Sun Simiao, who was praised as the "King of Medicine" by later generations, clearly recorded in his works that moxibustion should follow the principles of yang first, yin later and retention later. In ancient China, most ancestors took farming as their profession, facing the loess and facing the sky, so Chinese medicine attributed the back and upper body to Yang. The abdomen and lower body belong to yin.
In the theory of yin and yang, the head is yang and the foot is yin. Therefore, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the order of moxibustion treatment is generally moxibustion on the upper part first, and then moxibustion on the lower part; Moxibustion on the back first, then moxibustion on the limbs; First moxibustion on the left side, then moxibustion on the right side.

Experience 3: slow fire tonic, violent fire diarrhea.
According to Yang Jizhou's "Acupuncture" in the Ming Dynasty, those who burn slowly from small to large without blowing out firepower can play a role in warming yang and tonifying deficiency. If blowing fire makes patients feel fever, it is purgative method, which can play the role of dispelling cold and resolving hard mass. This is what the ancients said, "slow fire is a tonic, and fierce fire is a diarrhea."

Basic law of moxibustion reinforcing and reducing

Basic law of moxibustion reinforcing and reducing
"Soul Pivot Back" says: "Those who make up for it with fire will die if they don't blow their fire; Purge fire with fire, and those who blow fire to express their feelings will be extinguished by fire. " That is to say, when moxibustion is used as a supplementary method, don't blow fire, which will naturally go out and facilitate the gradual deepening of firepower. When purging fire, the fire is continuously blown after burning, which makes the moxa fire burn out quickly. This is purging fire.
The author realized that the key to the operation lies in the time when the heat of moxa fire goes deep. If there is no interference, it must be made up. Any remedy should not be quick, but it is useless to be quick. For example, when pouring tea into a cup, you must walk slowly, but if it is turbulent, it will be less and less. Once it enters, the internal and external meridians are connected, and the internal heat runs outward through disease blowing. For example, opening stagnation and closing stagnation means introducing classics, and excessive cold and heat need to be countered.

Enhancement and weakening of irradiation direction of moxa sticks in warm acupuncture
Generally, it doesn't matter whether the direction of the moxa stick is from top to bottom when operating the warming needle. In practice, many colleagues are used to lighting from the bottom, because the flame is upward, so it is more convenient to light naturally from the bottom.
However, the author believes that in order to achieve the purpose of heating, it is necessary to follow the top-down Ai Huosheng, with the starting point at the top and the foothold at the bottom, so that Yang Can belongs to the inside and Yang Can imitates from the top down; On the other hand, if you want to attract a layman, you must make a fire from the bottom up, starting from the inside and staying outside, so as to make the fire disappear, imitate the underground fire and attract heat with heat.

Reinforcing and reducing direction of rotating moxibustion
The author noticed that when rotating moxibustion was used, the reinforcing and reducing effects were different due to different directions. It gradually narrows from outside to inside, from shallow to deep, such as spiral, in order to supplement the law and reflect the meaning of the sun entering the ground, and the action is similar to screwing in;
It gradually expands from the inside out, and gradually becomes shallow from deep to shallow, such as the gushing of spring water. It is a kind of purging method, and it also takes the meaning of igniting fire and stretching out, quite like a screw. Specifically, it can imitate the twisting and reinforcing method of acupuncture and moxibustion, and combine the difference between left and right and the difference between men and women.
