The role of acupuncture and moxibustion
* * * One * * * Warming meridians and activating qi and blood.
The Book of Lingshu says: "Those who are meridians can promote qi and blood, nourish yin and yang, drown bones and muscles, and benefit joints." Only when the execution of qi and blood is popular along the meridians can we run the whole body and nourish the body, while moxibustion is warm, which can warm the meridians and promote blood execution. As "Su Xiang's Theory of Pricking Truth and False" said: "The blood clots in the pulse and stays, and the Buddha can take it from the fire." The execution of qi and blood has the characteristics of dispersing due to warming and coagulating due to cold. Moxibustion promotes blood circulation by warming meridians.
* * * Two * * * Cultivate vitality and prevent diseases.
Moxibustion has the functions of strengthening yang and preventing and treating diseases. Bian Que's mind book says: "The true element of a wife is the master of the whole body. When the true qi is strong, people are strong. If the true qi is insufficient, people will get sick. When the true qi is taken off, people die. Moxibustion is the first way to save their lives. " Ai is a medicine for Xin Wen and aversion to heat, which is assisted by fire. The combination of two kinds of Yang Can can strengthen yang and tonify kidney. If it is sufficient, the human body will be strong. "Righteousness can be hidden inside, and evil is not feasible." Therefore, we know that moxibustion can nourish vitality and prevent diseases.
* * * three * * spleen and stomach, nourishing the day after tomorrow.
Moxibustion has obvious strengthening effect on the spleen and stomach. "Classic of Acupuncture" said: "Anyone with poor diet, swollen heart and sallow complexion, known as spleen nephropathy, should be treated with moxibustion." Moxibustion can warm spleen and yang, tonify middle energizer and replenish qi. Frequent moxibustion at Zusanli can not only make the digestive system function vigorous, increase the absorption of nutrients and nourish the whole body, but also achieve the effects of preventing and treating diseases, resisting aging and prolonging life.
* * * Four * * * Nourish yang and strengthen skin.
"Su Wen? The meridian article says: "Moxibustion is the way to sink". If qi deficiency sinks, the fur will not be cold, and Qing Yang will not lift it, so Weiyang is not solid and the texture is loose.
Regular moxibustion can nourish yang, tighten muscle surface, resist external evils, reconcile camp and health, and play a role in fitness, disease prevention and treatment.
Matters needing attention in acupuncture therapy
Acupuncture can cure diseases, and it is not suitable for everyone.
Acupuncture is a good method to treat diseases, which can reduce weight, relieve physical fatigue, treat epilepsy and other diseases, but it cannot be used blindly and is not suitable for everyone. The most common pregnant women and diabetics can't use acupuncture.
At the same time, some people are not suitable for acupuncture. Let me introduce four typical people who are not suitable for acupuncture.
1. Diabetic population: Because the blood sugar of diabetic patients is relatively high, once a wound is formed, even a small acupuncture pinhole is not easy to heal. If you don't pay attention to the needle mouth or control your diet, it may cause wound and needle mouth infection, so it is not suitable for diabetic patients to have acupuncture.
2. People with coagulation dysfunction: such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura and other diseases, because such people have long coagulation time or difficulty in coagulation, and the needle mouth is easy to bleed, so people with coagulation dysfunction are not suitable for acupuncture.
3. Infection, ulcer, scar and tumor of the face plate are not suitable for acupuncture.
4. Leukemia patients are not suitable for acupuncture.
