Therefore, to treat a disease, we should put it first and then make it up. You must publicize it first, and don't make it up as soon as you come up. If it's not empty, it can't be made up. Without the ability to digest and absorb, it is irreparable.
On the day of summer solstice, there is another way of keeping in good health, that is moxibustion. Generally speaking, moxibustion is used to treat diseases from summer to morning; Moxibustion in winter solstice is healthy.
Moxibustion is very popular in Chinese mainland now, but we should pay attention to it. For example, people with blood deficiency should use it with caution, and women should use it with caution during menstruation and pregnancy.
The days from summer solstice are basically four days before and after, plus nine days from summer solstice, moxibustion can treat many diseases.
Solstice moxibustion in summer is to cure diseases, and solstice moxibustion in winter is to preserve health. Moxibustion in massage parlors now uses moxa sticks, which are called fumigation moxibustion and hanging moxibustion. Where is the fumigation moxibustion? Summer solstice moxibustion basically has two very important acupoints, called Zhongwan and Guanyuan.
Zhongwan point, where is it? Let's first find out what we call xiphoid process, that is, the junction of two ribs in the chest, and the midpoint of the line connecting with the navel, that is, Zhongwan. Many people have a hard time here, which is related to depression and overeating. You'd better press here before going to bed every night, it will burp and fart. Over time, the spleen and stomach will be much more comfortable, the spleen and stomach will be better, and the whole body will be better.
Because the stomach is a place of anger and bleeding. Many anemic people always look for medicine first. Western treatment of anemia always makes you supplement iron, but it often has little effect. It is rice that is most easily digested and absorbed by the spleen and stomach, not iron and calcium.
If you want to be full of qi and blood, you must start with eating. Speaking of invigorating qi, some people drink astragalus water, which not only can't replenish qi, but also may confuse qi and blood. In fact, the medicine tube doesn't work, it's all in compatibility. Qi is handsome for blood, and always exists with essence and blood. People who only replenish qi but not blood will feel dizzy. If Chinese medicine wants to replenish qi and blood, the dosage of prescription drugs is also particular.
In ancient times, the formula didn't work, that is, I could pass it on to you, but it didn't work. What is the so-called heat? It's the dose. The sender is not angry and just won't tell you the dose. In fact, there is nothing wrong with not passing the dose. Dosage generally depends on the patient's physical strength. But Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases is a dose, so it is really a compassionate saint. For example, we all know that Angelica enters the liver meridian to replenish blood, while Astragalus enters the lung meridian, spleen meridian and heart meridian to replenish qi. This is just common sense. In fact, Astragalus membranaceus has a unique blood-enriching effect. Because qi is invisible and blood is tangible. Tangible blood can't be born soon, but intangible qi must be born. Therefore, Radix Astragali used by Angelica sinensis can help Angelica sinensis to produce blood. If you want to replenish blood, the dosage of Astragalus membranaceus is twice as large as that of Angelica sinensis, that is, to replenish blood, you must first replenish qi and increase the strength of qi. Although there are few things that enrich the blood, as long as the qi goes up, the blood will move. If you want to replenish qi, you must also use blood-enriching drugs. When you use angelica and ginseng to replenish qi, your qi and blood are full and your qi is vigorous. This is the wonderful use of TCM compatibility.
Moxibustion can treat all diseases of middle energizer, such as abdominal distension, asthma, choking cough, inability to eat, indigestion, stomachache, poor complexion (because the stomach meridian mainly goes to the face), stomachache and even epilepsy. Because zhongwan belongs to Ren meridian, it is also the pull-door point of the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, and it is also one of the eight points (zhongwan is the root of six fu organs), so this point can cure spleen and stomach diseases, chondromalacia patellae (stomach meridian belongs to knee), and moxibustion at zhongwan point can quickly restore spleen and stomach functions.
Moxibustion at Guanyuan point can treat various diseases of lower energizer. Guanyuan point is in charge of the palace essence room, which is the hidden place of Yuanyin and Yuanyang, and the gate of Dantian, so it is called Guanyuan point. This place is a place where men hide sperm and women hide blood, and it is also an acupuncture point for raising small intestine. Moxibustion will stimulate yang, that is, increase digestive function; Moxibustion, with long yin qi, absorbs more nutrients. Yang is qi and yin is blood, so invigorating qi and enriching blood will lead to deficiency.
Moxibustion at Guanyuan point can treat almost all gynecological diseases, such as incontinence, diarrhea, constipation, frequent micturition, enuresis, nocturnal emission, impotence, white turbidity, amenorrhea, infertility, amenorrhea, hematochezia, hematuria and blood stasis in abdomen. Doctor Xu Lingtaiyun said: "Asthma can't be carved from the roots without moxibustion." This sentence means asthma. Roots can't be removed without moxibustion.
In fact, among all solar terms, the best way to keep fit is to rest, so the summer solstice should really be a holiday.
The first characteristic of wormwood is heat. Its heat can drive away ghosts, and diseases are ghosts. The second characteristic of wormwood is its strong psychic ability. It is recorded in ancient books that how to find water in the desert? Just light the wormwood and look around. Where there is smoke, you can know where there is water, because the place where moxa smoke passes is the waterway. This psychic power is manifested in the body, that is, dredging meridians. Don't be afraid to buy expired moxa sticks. The longer the shelf life, the more precious the moxa sticks are. Old Ai drives out old ghosts, while new Ai drives out new ones.
The second is natural moxibustion. At noon from the summer solstice, find an open-air balcony, spread the moxa sticks on the ground, get down naked, and find someone to help spread the moxa sticks all over your body until you sweat a little. This method is very cool and refreshing. Specializing in joint pain, postpartum wind, etc. But don't blow after getting up. You'd better dry your body before you start.
Why can moxibustion cure a serious illness from summer to Sunday? Because the summer solstice is more yang and less yin, it is necessary to rely on yang to exorcise evil spirits. Let me ask you a question. Is summer solstice moxibustion painful or winter solstice moxibustion painful? It must be that summer solstice moxibustion is particularly painful, because qi and blood are on the body surface from summer solstice, so it is particularly painful.
