So how to choose the time of moxibustion? When is moxibustion best in a day? How to moxibustion in a year?
First, solar moxibustion is better in a year.
1, solar terms change, righteousness fluctuation
Man is born with the qi of heaven and earth, and is bound to be influenced by the qi of heaven and earth. During the solar term, the celestial bodies changed dramatically.
Spring and summer belong to the sun, spring is warm and summer is hot, and warmth is the same. From spring to summer, from rising to floating, rising naturally floats; It is cloudy in autumn and winter, cool in autumn and cold in winter, and cold and cold are the same. From autumn to winter, from convergence to hiding, convergence naturally hides.
But changing from summer to autumn is different. Summer belongs to yang, autumn belongs to yin, and the transformation from yang to yin requires a cardinal.
This cardinal's name is Yang Shu, and that one is Shao Yang, and Shao Yang is fire. If the internal heat exerts its force, it can reverse the rising trend of yang, from floating to converging.
So does the change from winter to spring. Winter belongs to yin, spring belongs to yang, and it takes a cardinal to change from yin to yang.
This cardinal is called yin pivot, also called shaoyin, and shaoyin is the monarch fire. When the internal heat exerts its force, it can reverse the situation that the yang is closed and rise from Tibet.
Therefore, the human body has two cardinals, one is shaoyang and the other is shaoyin, and both cardinals belong to fire. People regard fire as the cardinal, because human life is a group of yang. Man's life originates from the sun, the sun is fire, and the man standing on the fire is also fire.
The change of yin and yang in life requires firepower as the cardinal. Therefore, solar moxibustion is particularly needed.
2, solar moxibustion, get twice the result with half the effort
There are ups and downs of yin and yang in nature.
These are relatively large nodes, and they are also the time when cardinals are most needed.
During the solar term, people's popularity has also changed greatly, so that people with weak constitution are prone to illness, even aggravation or recurrence. If you want to pass smoothly, you need to take fire as the fulcrum.
Moxibustion uses the fire of pure yang, so the week before and after the twenty-four solar terms is a good day to prevent and recuperate diseases with moxibustion, which should not be missed.
It is suggested that you do more health moxibustion in solar terms, that is, moxibustion at Zhongwan, Shenque and Guanyuan points for health preservation, which has the functions of reducing yin and turbidity, venting the atmosphere, supporting yang and consolidating the foundation.
Second, in terms of seasons, moxibustion in summer and winter.
Summer, especially the dog days, is the most prosperous time of the year. At this time, the human body has the strongest yang and vigorous metabolism. When the sun goes down, the geothermal energy rises, and the qi of heaven and earth meets up and down. At this time, the human body should conform to heaven and raise the sun well.
At this time, moxibustion can not only resist the summer heat and humidity, but also store yang for autumn and winter, so that there is enough yang in winter to fight against yin and cold, improve disease resistance, and get sick less all year round.
Winter, especially March 9, is the coldest time of the year. At this time, yang is accumulated, qi and blood are blocked, skin is dry, and pores are blocked. At this time, moxibustion can warm yang and replenish qi and improve resistance.
Therefore, moxibustion in winter every year, especially on March 9, can strengthen and consolidate the therapeutic effect of moxibustion in summer.
Thirdly, starting from every month, moxibustion is done on the eighth day of every month.
The eighth day of the first month is the eight days when the sun rises, from the new moon to the eyebrow moon and then to the first quarter moon.
The new moon, the moon phase has not yet come out, the yang machine has moved, and it is not comparable to the end of the dark moon. He is the end of Yang, and this is the beginning of Yang. Although it is not clear, its male machine is completely different.
At this time, you can use Kun hexagrams to match, but it is the end of Kun and the beginning of Yang. At the eyebrow moon, the sun's spirit begins to rise, and the moon will be bright, so it is consistent with the shock divination at the beginning of the sun's spirit. At this time, it is time to help Yang, so as to promote the rise of Yang.
The first quarter moon, that is, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, is half dark and half bright, and yin and yang are equal. But at that time, although the moon phase was bright, it was still a loss, so it was matched with yin and yang. From the perspective of Yin and Yang, it is not only half of Yin and Yang, but also a symbol of Yang's prosperity and an understanding of acquired gossip.
So from Kun to Li, it is the time when Shaoyang begins to rise. This time period happens to be the first day to the eighth day of the lunar calendar. One month, moxibustion is the best.
Fourth, from moxibustion every morning.
1, moxibustion in the morning, get twice the result with half the effort.
According to Neijing Lingbi, the ancients divided a day into four periods: spring in the morning, summer at noon, autumn at sunset and winter at midnight.
According to the specific time, it is:
3 am to 9 am is the spring of the day, called Richun;
9 am to 3 pm is a day of summer, called the sun;
From 3 pm to 9 pm is an autumn day, called Riqiu;
9 pm to 3 am is a winter day, called Sunday winter.
In the morning, the yang of nature and human body begins to rise, so moxibustion can get twice the result with half the effort.
It is worth noting that after 1 1 in the afternoon, moxibustion is not allowed unless it is an emergency.
2. After 1 1 in the afternoon, be cautious in moxibustion.
Noon 1 1-1 is noon, which is the time for the heart to work. The center of the five elements belongs to fire. The ancients said that it was "meridian sleep, Mao Yougong", so it was not suitable for moxibustion at noon. If moxibustion is carried out at noon, it is easy to get angry.
In a day, moxibustion health care is generally: 10- 1 1 am, and the effect is good.
3. Moxibustion time varies greatly due to different constitutions and diseases.
According to different constitutions and diseases, the time of moxibustion is different. This is closely related to the running time of the twelve meridians.
Now a day and night is 24 hours, and in ancient times it was 12 hours. This 12 hour is dominated by the twelve meridians respectively, that is to say, in each hour, one meridian mainly works and plays a major role in the body.
12 hour is:
Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si,
In the afternoon, no, Shen, you, Xu and Hai.
When I was a child, I worked in the gallbladder, and when I was ugly, I worked in the liver.
Yin Shi is the work of lung meridian, and Shi Mao is the work of large intestine meridian.
Chen is the function of stomach meridian, and Si is the function of spleen meridian.
At noon, the heart meridian works, and finally the small intestine meridian works.
Kidney is the function of bladder meridian, especially the function of kidney meridian.
The strange stone is the work of pericardium meridian, and the stone sea is the work of triple energizer meridian.
For example, if the lungs are not good, you can't get up in the middle of the night for moxibustion. At this time, it is necessary to take advantage of the relationship between the two meridians, or the two meridians with the same name.
For example:
① The lung meridian and the large intestine meridian are a pair of external and internal meridians, just like the relationship between husband and wife, but the action time of the large intestine meridian is from 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning, which is not suitable for moxibustion.
② The lung meridian is the Taiyin meridian of the hand and the Taiyin meridian of the foot is the spleen meridian. The lung meridian and spleen meridian have the same name, just like brotherhood. The working time of spleen meridian is 9: 00-1 1: 00 in the morning. At this time, moxibustion conditioning is related to the lungs, and the effect is good.
③ Lung belongs to gold in the five elements. According to the principle that the five elements produce gold and the gold produces water, and according to the principle of "tonifying the mother and nourishing the son", if the lung heat is real, moxibustion can be carried out at 5-7 pm when the kidney meridian is working, because the kidney belongs to water.
Everything else is the same, so you can draw inferences from others.
In the final analysis, there is no question whether moxibustion is good in the morning or good in the evening. The key is to see what problems you regulate.
If the schedule is not good, there is no need to force it. Moxibustion is better than no moxibustion. Health moxibustion usually ends before 9 pm. In case of emergency, moxibustion should be done in time.
