Sequence of moxibustion points
In ancient works, the sequence of moxibustion was discussed in detail. Sun Simiao, who was praised as the "King of Medicine" by later generations, clearly recorded in his book Qian Jin Fang that moxibustion should follow the principles of yang first, yin later, left later, right later and up later. Most of the ancient ancestors in China were engaged in farming, with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. Therefore, Chinese medicine attributed their backs and upper bodies to Yang. The abdomen and lower body belong to yin. In the theory of yin and yang, the head is yang and the foot is yin; Yang on the left and Yin on the right.
Therefore, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the order of moxibustion treatment is generally moxibustion on the upper part first, and then moxibustion on the lower part; Moxibustion on the back first, then moxibustion on the abdomen; Moxibustion on head and body first, then moxibustion on limbs; First moxibustion on the left side, then moxibustion on the right side. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and the order of conditioning moxibustion for some diseases is not static. Symptoms can be relieved first, such as moxibustion at Ashi point. In short, it is people-oriented and patients are comfortable.
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. Generally speaking, 9: 00 pm to 3: 00 am is a winter day, which is called Sunday winter; 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.
In the morning, people's vitality begins to grow, and the human body is prone to illness; Japanese and China people are the most energetic, and can overcome diseases and evils. So the best time for moxibustion in a day is around noon (1 1 ~ 1). During this period, the yang of the human body and nature gradually turns prosperous, reaching a peak at noon, and the curative effect is the best at this time; Therefore, the ancients said "dog days moxibustion", which is the truth of treating winter diseases in summer. However, when the human body meets nature at the intersection of Yin and Yang in the morning, early (5-9 am), late (5-7 pm) and late (7-9 pm), the effect of moxibustion will be slightly reduced because of the low ambient temperature.
Therefore, the combination of drugs and acupoints, coupled with more appropriate treatment opportunities, can make moxibustion achieve better therapeutic effects.
