1, Treatise on Febrile Diseases
In Treatise on Febrile Diseases, there is a discussion of "moxibustion taboo";
(1) pulse floating should be solved by sweating. With fire moxibustion, evil spirits can't get out. Because of fire, the disease will be serious from the waist down and joint pain, and the name of fire will be reversed.
If the pulse is floating, the disease is in the exterior, but it is not sweating, but fire. If the tendons are not opened, the evil will not come out, but it will be full of heat due to internal heat. Those forced by the evil of yang will enter the yin, and the pain will be from the waist down. For those with severe arthralgia, the evil will be forced by fire and be in the yin, so the fire goes against the sun.
If it is a common cold and sweating, don't moxibustion. If it is moxibustion, it will cause severe back and leg pain, and even lead to diseases of back and leg pain.
(2) Sun disease, which makes people impatient and vomiting blood when they are not sensible, is called fire evil.
This fire evil forces blood, and blood falls on the walker. If the sun is sick, smoke it with fire, but don't sweat, then evil can't come out, and hot air will be impetuous. On the sixth day, menstruation dried up, and on the seventh day, the disease should be fine. If it is not solved, the pathogenic fire will force blood to flow down the intestine, which will cause infant blood, infant blood and bloody stool.
Don't moxibustion if you have a cold. Moxibustion will also lead to bloody stool.
(3) Moxibustion of micro-pulse should not be used with caution. Because fire is evil, annoying and rebellious, chasing after deficiency and chasing after reality, blood scattered in the pulse. Although the internal fire is weak, the internal attack is powerful, which hurts the muscles and bones and makes it difficult to recover the qi and blood.
Those with weak pulse and heat should not be attacked by fire, and those who are resistant to moxibustion will be angry and annoyed. People who are troubled and rebellious are also troubled and rebellious. Blood is forced by fire, which is called chasing deficiency, and heat is driven by fire, which is called chasing reality, because blood is scattered and difficult to recover, bones and muscles are burnt and dull, and fire is harmful.
Don't moxibustion for those with slight pulse. If moxibustion is used, it will lead to scorching of bones and muscles (emaciation, dryness, dullness, weakness and blood deficiency).
(4) The pulse is floating, very hot and moxibustion is reversed, which is true. Treat deficiency with deficiency, fire when moving, throat when dry, and blood when spitting.
This fire evil force blood, blood rises to the walker. The pulse is very hot, which is a superficial phenomenon. In ancient times, needles were used for purging and tonifying deficiency, but doctors didn't know that. It is moxibustion to treat deficiency. Consistency, forcing blood to rush, will dry the throat and vomit blood.
Pulse floating and hot, not moxibustion, if moxibustion, will cause dry throat and vomiting blood.

4. Pay attention before and after moxibustion.
Before moxibustion (1)
Because you can't blow during moxibustion, please close the doors and windows before moxibustion, and the room can't be ventilated. Summer, too. No ventilation or air conditioning.
Moxibustion should not be done immediately after meals, but only after meals 1 hour, because it is too full to do so.
Pulse exceeds 90 times per minute without moxibustion; Hunger, satiety and drunkenness prohibit moxibustion; Abdomen and lumbosacral region of pregnant women are not suitable-forbidden; Don't moxibustion the inflamed part of the body!
(2) In moxibustion
Don't be too full or hungry when moxibustion, and you can't moxibustion when you are in a good mood. You should keep your mind calm and relaxed.
In moxibustion, if there is moisture on the surface of acupoints, the cold in the body will be discharged through acupoints, and the cold in the body will be heavier, so moxibustion will play a role.
(3) After moxibustion
Do not wash your hands or bathe in cold water within half an hour after moxibustion. . After moxibustion, the pores of the whole body are open and it is easy to catch cold.
Drink more warm water than usual after moxibustion (never drink cold water or ice water) to facilitate detoxification, and the water temperature can be slightly higher. You can't drink cold boiled water, not even in summer. Help the excretory organs to excrete toxins from the body;
You can't take a bath immediately after moxibustion. For the same reason. Under normal circumstances, moxibustion is carried out after bathing. Or after moxibustion, take a bath a few hours later.
After moxibustion, it is normal to feel tired and depressed. At this time, the body is resting, but you can have a rest without being too tired.
5, other matters needing attention

(2) Moxibustion tonic method, warm moxibustion, and massage acupoints after the fire is extinguished; Drainage method, blowing with the mouth, supporting combustion, opening its points, plays a role in dissipation.
(3) A strong man is stubborn with falsehood and reality, and his flesh is deep, so it is advisable to apply large columns and multiple piles; Type I weakness, chronic disease, chronic disease, should be small columns and few piles.
(4) Don't directly apply moxibustion to the five senses, the great blood vessels of the heart, the heart meridian area, the private parts of women, the important meridians and joints, so as to prevent danger or scar from affecting the function.

7. Pay attention to moxibustion.
(1) Concentrate, patiently adhere to the concentration during moxibustion, and don't be distracted during moxibustion, so as to avoid the moxa stick moving away from the acupoint and affecting the effect. For health moxibustion, we should persist for a long time, and occasionally moxibustion can not achieve the expected effect. It is necessary to find a suitable support point to keep the hand holding the moxa stick stable, so as to avoid the burning moxa stick from touching and scalding the skin due to unstable hands.
(2) Pay attention to the accuracy of posture and acupoint selection. On the one hand, the posture should be suitable for the needs of moxibustion, at the same time, it should be noted that the posture should be comfortable and natural, and the position and acupoints should be determined according to the prescription to ensure the effect of moxibustion.
(3) Eyes should avoid the smoke generated by moxibustion to avoid discomfort such as tears in eyes. The room for moxibustion should be ventilated, so (4) as the moxa sticks burn, ashes will be generated, and the ashes should be bounced off in time to avoid falling on the body and burning the skin. The ashtray should be made of nonflammable iron, glass, etc. To prevent sparks from rekindling in the ashes.
(5) After moxibustion, one end of the lighted moxa stick can be stuffed into a bottle slightly larger than the diameter of the moxa stick, or put into a container with a small amount of water to facilitate extinguishing. If moxibustion is applied on the same day or the next day, a new moxa stick can be taken. The remaining moxa sticks can be reused after a few days of air drying.
(6) Keep warm to prevent heatstroke. Expose part of the body surface during moxibustion, keep warm in winter, prevent heatstroke in hot summer, and pay attention to exchange fresh air indoors in time.

(10) Pay attention to the adjustment of moxibustion temperature. For children with sensitive person's skin, put fingers and middle fingers on both sides of the moxibustion site to sense the temperature of the moxibustion site, so as to achieve a good effect of not scalding the skin.
(1 1) After moxibustion, it is normal for local skin to become hot and red.
(12) If you burn your skin carelessly and local blisters appear, you can let it absorb as long as you are careful not to scratch it. Don't squeeze or scratch, and avoid hair and sexual intercourse.
