What are the methods of moxibustion? What should I pay attention to?
Moxibustion has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, and its efficacy has been confirmed by clinical practice. But the understanding of its mechanism is still an unsolved mystery. At present, it is considered that the overall therapeutic effect is exerted through local stimulation, meridian regulation, immune regulation and pharmacological action.

Our common moxibustion methods are:

Moxibustion with moxa sticks includes Taiyi Shenzhen and Leihuoshen Shenzhen.

We use moxibustion according to the needs of patients' condition in clinic. Common therapeutic methods include scar moxibustion, traceless moxibustion, warm moxibustion, indirect moxibustion, ginger moxibustion, garlic moxibustion, salt moxibustion, aconite cake moxibustion, solid moxibustion and new moxibustion.

Scar moxibustion is also called purulent moxibustion, that is, it forms purulent state from the moxibustion place to the moxibustion place. The method is to apply a small amount of garlic juice to the acupoints where moxibustion is applied, mainly to increase or decrease the adhesion and stimulation, and then put the moxa cone of appropriate size on the acupoints to ignite moxibustion. Every strong moxa cone should be burned, the ash should be removed after burning, and then moxibustion should be continued until a strong moxa cone is burned. This moxibustion method is to burn the skin with fire, so it will produce severe pain. If the pain is unbearable during moxibustion, you can gently pat around the acupoints to relieve the pain. In general, around 1 week, the moxibustion site suppurates to form a moxibustion wound, and after about 5-6 weeks, the moxibustion wound heals itself, and the scab falls off to form a scar. This moxibustion is only used to treat chronic diseases such as asthma, tuberculosis and carbuncle.

That is, mild moxibustion rotates moxibustion, bird pecking moxibustion rotates moxibustion to foaming moxibustion.

First, apply a small amount of vaseline to all acupuncture points to be moxibustion. Then put the moxa cone of appropriate size on the acupoint and light it for moxibustion. When two-fifths or a quarter of the moxa cone remains and the patient feels slight burning pain, another moxa cone can be put to continue moxibustion. Generally, moxibustion should be applied to local skin flushing without foaming. Because it won't burn the skin, it's called scarless moxibustion. After moxibustion, it does not fester and leave no scars. This method is suitable for deficiency-cold diseases.

Generally, copper moxibustion apparatus, stainless steel moxibustion apparatus and bamboo moxibustion apparatus can be selected. The bottom of the vessel is sharp and flat, with a small tube inside and holes around it. When moxibustion is applied, moxa or medicine is added into the small barrel of the warm moxibustion device, and after ignition, the warm moxibustion device is covered and buckled, and then it can be placed at the acupuncture point or the part to be moxibustion for ironing moxibustion, and the skin of the direct moxibustion part is rosy. This method has the functions of harmonizing qi and blood, warming middle warmer and dispelling cold.

Indirect moxibustion is also called "moxibustion", including ginger moxibustion, garlic moxibustion, salt moxibustion, cake moxibustion, yellow wax moxibustion and sulfur moxibustion. The method is to separate moxa cone from the skin with medicine at the acupuncture point where moxibustion is applied, and then moxibustion is applied.

Choose a fresh piece of old ginger, cut it into 0.2~0.5 cm thick ginger slices along the fiber longitudinal direction of ginger, and the size can be determined according to the size of acupuncture points and the size of moxa cone. Punch a small hole in the middle of ginger slices with toothpick or triangular prism needle. Then put it on the acupoint, and then put the same size of Artemisia argyi leaves on the ginger and light it. When moxibustion has a burning sensation locally, lift the ginger slices slightly, or replace the moxa cone to continue moxibustion, with a strong moxibustion of 5~ 10 each time, with local flushing as the degree. After moxibustion, apply safflower oil on the moxibustion site to prevent the skin from being burned, and also to better enhance the efficacy of moxibustion in promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dispelling cold and relieving pain. You can also use the method of ginger moxibustion, which has a good effect on some diseases. But moxibustion and dialectics must be mastered before they can be used.

You can use garlic and garlic paste for moxibustion.

It is a common moxibustion method in clinic.

Methods: Take the patient to lie on his back and expose his navel. Take a proper amount of pure and dry white salt, stir-fry until it is warm, and put it in the navel to be flush with the navel. If the patient's navel depression is not obvious, it can be wetted around the navel first, and then added with salt. If you need to use other drugs for moxibustion, first fill in the ointment or powder of other drugs, and then add salt. Then place the moxa stick for moxibustion until the patient has a slight burning sensation, and then replace the moxa stick. In order to prevent the salt from bursting and scalding the skin after being heated, you can put a thin piece of ginger on your navel and then moxibustion. Generally, moxibustion is 3~9 strong, and acute diseases can be more moxibustion.

Grinding Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata into powder, concocting with wine into Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata cake with a diameter of about 3 cm and a thickness of about 0.8 cm, placing it on the acupuncture point needing moxibustion in the middle with a toothpick or needle, and applying moxa sticks on it until moxibustion is finished. This method is used to treat impotence, premature ejaculation or chronic ulcer.

This moxibustion method needs to be mastered very well to be used freely. This method is to superimpose 10 layer of gauze on the acupuncture point where moxibustion 2 is to be done with Leihuoshen needle. Then press the lighted end directly on the acupoint, stay for 1~2 seconds, lift it, blow off the ash, press it again, and repeat it several times. When the gauze is hot, you don't need to blow the fire. The function of this method is to promote qi and blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis and reduce swelling, and regulate all kinds of pain and cold furuncle.

The new recumbent moxibustion evolved from the traditional long-dragon moxibustion and absorbed the ginger-separated moxibustion. The essence of medicinal moxibustion. Change the traditional ginger slices into ginger paste, add more than ten kinds of Chinese medicines, and then add Chinese medicines into wormwood, which has synergistic effect, fragrant all over the body, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals. The curative effect is very good. This method can treat cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation, back myofascitis, hyperosteogeny, rheumatism, rheumatoid disease and other diseases, and the curative effect is very remarkable.

Moxibustion is widely used among the people, especially in some health centers. But when you choose moxibustion, do you know what will happen after moxibustion? Let's talk together.

1, after moxibustion, there is often a reaction of disease aggravation, which is a normal phenomenon of fighting between good and evil, just like shooting with the enemy, which deepens the reaction of hatred. Our bodies are like a country. There are good and evil factions in a big family. It is impossible for a big society to allow only healthy qi to exist and completely crush and destroy evil spirits. Then our bodies are the same, spies lurk in them for a long time, and spies will not be easily found, arrested, killed or deported. So when he has all the information, he will certainly take action to send it to his country; When he was discovered by Zhengfang and wanted to disintegrate his mind in the right way and hand over the spy's information, the spy resisted with tenacious resistance. At this time, if the healthy qi of the body is insufficient and the evil spirits stubbornly resist, there will be various positive and negative resistance reactions. When the vital qi is very strong, the pathogenic factors can't resist the vital qi and slowly disintegrate. It is what we often say, with moxibustion, after the body slowly accumulates strong resistance, the disease will gradually be driven out of the body.

2, insomnia after moxibustion If insomnia occurs after the first moxibustion, it is a reaction, and the patient is very tired or sleepy. However, after moxibustion for a period of time, the symptoms are relieved or energetic, which is a good effect after moxibustion.

Because moxibustion is smoked by fire, if we don't pay attention to it, it may cause local skin burns. In addition, moxibustion consumes some Xue Jing, so some parts of our body can't be moxibustion. As follows;

Conclusion: Moxibustion is a convenient and effective Chinese medicine treatment method. It is a method that people like to accept, and it is a good method for people to directly moxibustion. At that time, when you didn't master moxibustion techniques and methods, it was best not to use them casually. Good use can cure the disease, but bad use will aggravate the condition.
