When there is imbalance between Yin and Yang in human body, the balance of Yin and Yang can be adjusted and qi and blood can be reconciled by applying Shenque point, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating evil and treating diseases. Interesting story
Mu's Du Gong Tan Bian recorded an anecdote: Jin Sheng, a native of Jiaxing, was in charge of the punishments department during Yongle period. During a thief begging, the government caught many robbers. To Jin's surprise, the leader of the robbers is a birthday boy who is "1825 years old", but he looks like a boy without any old age. Chu Jin did not believe it, so he proposed to send someone to the prisoner's hometown to investigate and collect evidence, and the result was correct. King then tried the thief's head himself. "Ask him why he died." The prisoner said: When I lived in Jingshan (now Hunan Province) when I was young, I heard a stranger tell me that grass moxibustion often made people live longer. So I practiced this technique for a long time, "so I know this."
There are similar records in other ancient medical books. For example, the "Acupuncture Classic" in the Song Dynasty said: "If someone is old and looks like a boy, he will moxibustion his navel with rat dung every year." There is a navel prescription in the Selected Prescriptions of Qingtai Hospital, which is called Yulin Guben Ointment. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi used this ointment to treat gastrointestinal dysfunction.
What is an umbilical cord?
Umbilical cord, commonly known as umbilical cord. From the point of view of modern medicine, "umbilical cord" is only the scar tissue left by neonatal umbilical cord; However, Chinese medicine believes that navel is an important acupoint with therapeutic effect, and it is named "Shenque". This point is considered as the general pivot of the meridians, where the meridians and the Qi Sea meet, and it can manage the meridians and veins of the human body. When there is imbalance between qi and blood and yin and yang in human body, applying medicine at * * or Shenque point can adjust the balance of yin and yang, harmonize qi and blood, and achieve the effect of eliminating evil and treating diseases.
The role of "umbilical moxibustion"
Interestingly, some scientists used Huang Jinlv to measure the human body. They were surprised to find that the ratio of the length from navel to toe to the length from navel to the top of the head was exactly 0.6 18, that is, the navel was located at the "point" of the human body. Modern scientific research shows that 0. 168 plays an important role in health preservation, so "acupoints" should be the best acupoints for regulating human functions. Experimental research also proves that it is helpful to regulate the nervous system and endocrine activities of human body, especially to significantly improve the immune function of human body, thus playing the role of strengthening the body resistance, eliminating pathogens and prolonging life.
Generally speaking, moxibustion on navel has three points to pay attention to: First, it is forbidden for those with umbilical injury and inflammation; Second, it is not appropriate to just eat a meal or moxibustion navel on an empty stomach; Third, moxibustion should not be too close to the navel, otherwise it is easy to burn.
