Moxibustion originated in ancient China, because its mechanism of action is similar to acupuncture therapy, and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture therapy. Usually, acupuncture and moxibustion are used together, so it is called acupuncture. Acupuncture has a far-reaching influence at home and abroad, but modern people say acupuncture only refers to acupuncture, and rarely includes moxibustion. We usually think that acupuncture and moxibustion are the same therapy, but they are not. Although they are all based on the understanding of human meridians and acupoints, acupuncture only produces physical effects, while moxibustion is a compound effect of medicine and physics. Moreover, the treatment scope of the two is different. The so-called "acupuncture does not do what it does, moxibustion is appropriate" refers to the difference. We say that moxibustion is a magical therapy because it really has many advantages. First of all, the curative effect of moxibustion is amazing. Moxibustion therapy is widely used, and it is the main method to treat diseases in ancient China. In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the functions of warming yang and benefiting qi, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, removing blood stasis and resolving hard mass, and tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi. It can be widely used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and facial diseases, and has special effects on mastitis, prostatitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical spondylosis and diabetes. Secondly, moxibustion has a peculiar health care function. For thousands of years, moxibustion has been used to prevent diseases and prolong life in China. Huangdi Neijing "Sweating in strong wind, moxibustion means loving points", which is a kind of health moxibustion. According to Zhuangzi, the sage Confucius "moxibustion is not a disease", which also refers to the use of moxibustion for health care. The anti-cancer research of moxibustion made by Japanese people such as Suto Zuo also shows that moxibustion can activate the potential anti-cancer effect in skin tissue and play a role in treating cancer. And the origin of moxibustion is even more magical. According to textual research, the invention of moxibustion should be that when primitive people used fire, a certain part of the pain was roasted comfortably by fire, and they took the initiative to burn it with fire to treat more pain. In ancient times, wormwood was also called an ice platform. Before divination, ancient artificial ice made fire, guided by wormwood. In this ritual atmosphere of attracting skyfire, witches simulate tortoise shell omen and human blood vessels, and think about the fire theory and qi theory of traditional Chinese medicine, thus producing moxibustion, a magical therapy. After entering the modern society, acupuncture therapy has been developing continuously, but moxibustion has been ignored by people. In the process of moxibustion treatment, burning the meridian points of patients will leave scars on their bodies. Mr. Zhou Meisheng, a master of moxibustion, pointed out that it was the double pain of disease and moxibustion sore that made moxibustion recover, and called for in-depth study of moxibustion to promote its modernization. There are some improved modern moxibustion instruments on the market, but most of them are based on photoelectric method, close to pure physical therapy. It is completely different from the compound effect of medicine and heat source produced by moxibustion with moxa sticks as heat source, and it is also incompatible with the traditional Chinese medicine principle of moxibustion, and its health care and medical function is also very limited. In recent years, with people's understanding of the unique efficacy of moxibustion, moxibustion therapy has once again attracted the attention of the medical community, and the pace of modern research is also accelerating. Modern moxibustion therapeutic instrument should be a combination of traditional moxibustion materials and photoelectric instruments. Under the action of modern new heat sources (such as infrared rays and magnetic therapy), it gives full play to the medicinal effect of moxa, and has the characteristics of convenient use, simple operation, no skin burn and no scar. Moxibustion therapy can strengthen the body, prevent and treat diseases, and has a history of thousands of years in China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to widely use moxibustion. For example, there is a record in Zhuangzi that the Yue people smoked it with moxa, and there is also a record in Mencius that it takes three years to get sick for seven years. It is more common in medical works of past dynasties. Moxibustion can stimulate and improve the body's immune function and enhance the body's disease resistance.
