Moxibustion is a health care method sought after by modern people because it is green, natural, safe and has no side effects. Generally speaking, according to different diseases, Chinese medicine always gives multiple acupoints. So many acupoints, which one should be moxibustion first? I believe many people don't know that this is just like eating western medicine before and after meals. If the time is wrong, it will affect the absorption of the drug effect. Similarly, the order of moxibustion points plays an important role in the curative effect of moxibustion to a certain extent. Let's talk about the order of moxibustion today! 1 Moxibustion acupoint sequence "The King of Medicine" Sun Simiao clearly recorded in the book Qian Jin Fang that moxibustion should follow the principles of yang first, yin first, left first, right last and up last. So how do different parts of the human body divide yin and yang? As a big farming country, ancient ancestors generally lived with their faces facing the loess. Therefore, Chinese medicine attributed the back and upper body to yang, and the abdomen and lower body 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, moxibustion on the lower part first, moxibustion on the head and body first, moxibustion on the left side first, and moxibustion on the right side later. In daily health care moxibustion, moxibustion according to the above methods will have a good effect. Of course, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and many methods of conditioning diseases are not unique. Generally, symptoms should be relieved first, such as moxibustion at Ashi point and other key points. 2 The Best Time for Moxibustion According to Neijing Lingbi, the ancients divided a day into four periods: spring in the morning, summer at noon, autumn in the middle of the night and winter in the middle of the night. The specific time is as follows: 3: 00 am to 9: 00 am is a spring day, 9: 00 am to 3:00 pm is a summer day, 3: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm is an autumn day, and 9: 00 pm to 3: 00 am is a winter day, which means that the yang of nature and human body begins to rise in the morning. With this time, moxibustion can get twice the result with half the effort, especially for people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency, such as those who are afraid of the cold. Of course, according to different constitutions and symptoms, the time of moxibustion is also different. For example, to regulate the function of the spleen and stomach, moxibustion can be used at 9- 1 1 in the morning, moxibustion can be used to tonify the kidney at 5-7 in the afternoon, and moxibustion should be used before going to bed for insomnia. General moxibustion health care is generally:10-11am; 2-4 pm is appropriate. From 2000, Sun moxibustion and Xia Dong moxibustion are the best. First, from the perspective of seasons, Xia Dong moxibustion has the best curative effect. Summer, especially the dog days, is the most prosperous time of the year. At this time, the human body has the strongest yang and vigorous metabolism. When the sun goes down, the geothermal energy rises, and the qi of heaven and earth meets up and down. At this time, the human body should conform to heaven and raise the sun well. At this time, moxibustion can not only resist the summer heat and humidity, but also store yang for autumn and winter, so that there is enough yang in winter to fight against yin and cold, improve disease resistance, and get sick less all year round. Winter, especially March 9, is the coldest time of the year. At this time, yang is accumulated, qi and blood are blocked, skin is dry, and pores are blocked. At this time, moxibustion can warm yang and replenish qi and improve resistance. Therefore, moxibustion in winter every year, especially on March 9, can strengthen and consolidate the therapeutic effect of moxibustion in summer. Second, solar moxibustion has the best effect in a year. Man is born with the qi of heaven and earth, and is bound to be influenced by the qi of heaven and earth. During the solar term, the qi of heaven and earth changed dramatically. Spring and summer belong to the sun, spring is warm and summer is hot, and warmth is the same. From spring to summer, from rising to floating, rising naturally floats; It is cloudy in autumn and winter, cool in autumn and cold in winter, and cold and cold are the same. From autumn to winter, from convergence to hiding, convergence naturally hides. But changing from summer to autumn is different. Summer belongs to yang, autumn belongs to yin, and the transformation from yang to yin requires a cardinal. This cardinal's name is Yang Shu, and that one is Shao Yang, and Shao Yang is fire. If the internal heat exerts its force, it can reverse the rising trend of yang, from floating to converging. So does the change from winter to spring. Winter belongs to yin, spring belongs to yang, and it takes a cardinal to change from yin to yang. This cardinal is called yin pivot, also called shaoyin, and shaoyin is the monarch fire. When the internal heat exerts its force, it can reverse the situation that the yang is closed and rise from Tibet. Therefore, the human body has two cardinals, one is shaoyang and the other is shaoyin, and both cardinals belong to fire. People regard fire as the cardinal, because human life is a group of yang. Man's life originates from the sun, the sun is fire, and the man standing on the fire is also fire. The change of yin and yang in life requires firepower as the cardinal. There are ups and downs of yin and yang in nature, and yang rises and yin falls, rising and falling, and falling and rising, so the second solstice (summer solstice, winter solstice) is a big node; Ascending and descending balance, equality of yin and yang, and dichotomy (vernal equinox and autumnal equinox) are also important nodes; There are four others (beginning of spring, Changsha, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter), which are also big nodes. The change of six qi also has six nodes, namely, great cold, vernal equinox, small fullness, great summer heat, autumn equinox and light snow. These are relatively large nodes, and they are also the time when cardinals are most needed. During the solar term, people's popularity has also changed greatly, so that people with weak constitution are prone to illness, even aggravation or recurrence. If you want to pass smoothly, you need to take fire as the fulcrum. Moxibustion uses the fire of pure yang, so the week before and after the twenty-four solar terms is a good day to prevent and recuperate diseases with moxibustion, which should not be missed. It is suggested that during the solar term, energy balance moxibustion should be used, that is, moxibustion at Zhongwan, Shenque and Guanyuan points to protect health, which has the functions of reducing yin and turbidity, venting the atmosphere, supporting yang and consolidating the foundation. The function of zhongwan point in 1 moxibustion, the wrist point is born in the Taiyin of hand, Shaoyang of hand and Yangming of foot, and it is the intersection point of ren meridian. It can regulate all diseases of the five internal organs (stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, large intestine and small intestine), especially stomach diseases, and has the effects of invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness, dredging middle-qi and tonifying middle-qi The stomach is a sea of five zang-organs and six fu-organs, so the cloud "was born with stomach qi, but died without it". "All patients must first reconcile stomach qi, which will lead to the generation of valley qi, so acupoints are the focus of health care. The diaphragm is located in the anterolateral midline of the upper abdomen, 4 inches above the umbilicus. Time moxibustion 10- 15 minutes. 2 Moxibustion at Shenque point plays a role. Shenque point is the most secret and crucial point in human life, and it is also a longevity point. It is an important acupoint that runs along the meridian in front of the human body and the door of human qi. Moxibustion on Shenque can regulate the symptoms of physical weakness and fatigue. Shenque point is located in the middle of abdomen and navel. Time moxibustion 10- 15 minutes. 3 Moxibustion Guanyuan point plays the role of Guanyuan point, which is the place where the true yang produces sperm and is a big point to enhance vitality. Moxibustion on Guanyuan point can make the clear yang rise, the turbid yin fall, the Yuanyang warm, the qi and blood full, the kidney tonify and strengthen, the qi replenish and yang restore, the chong and ren functions are regulated, and the qi is regulated and the blood is promoted. Location Guanyuan point is located on the midline of the lower abdomen, 3 inches below the umbilicus. Time moxibustion 10- 15 minutes. Starting from every month, moxibustion is best on the eighth day of the first month, from the new moon to the eyebrow moon, and then to the first quarter moon. The new moon, the moon phase has not yet come out, the yang machine has moved, and it is not comparable to the end of the dark moon. He is the end of Yang, and this is the beginning of Yang. Although it is not clear, its male machine is completely different. At this time, you can use Kun hexagrams to match, but it is the end of Kun and the beginning of Yang. At the eyebrow moon, the sun's spirit begins to rise, and the moon will be bright, so it is consistent with the shock divination at the beginning of the sun's spirit. At this time, it is time to help Yang, so as to promote the rise of Yang. The first quarter moon, that is, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, is half dark and half bright, and yin and yang are equal. But at that time, although the moon phase was bright, it was still a loss, so it was matched with yin and yang. From the perspective of Yin and Yang, it is not only half of Yin and Yang, but also a symbol of Yang's prosperity and an understanding of acquired gossip. So from Kun to Li, it is the time when Shaoyang begins to rise. This time period happens to be from the first day to the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and moxibustion has the best effect for one month. 5 From the daily point of view, moxibustion around noon is best recorded in Neijing Coffin: the ancients divided a day into four periods: morning spring, afternoon summer, sunset autumn and midnight winter. According to the specific time, it is: 3: 00 am to 9: 00 am is a day of spring, 9: 00 am to 3: 00 pm is a day of summer, 3: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm is a day of autumn, 9: 00 pm is a day of winter, and the yang of nature and human body begins to rise in the morning. With this time, moxibustion can get twice the result with half the effort. It is worth noting that after 1 1 in the afternoon, moxibustion can no longer be done unless it is an emergency. 1 1- 1 Noon is noon, which is the time for the heart to work. The center of the five elements belongs to fire. The ancients said it was "a nap, not moxibustion." If moxibustion is carried out at noon, it is easy to get angry. In a day, moxibustion health care is generally:10-11am; 2-4 pm is best. Of course, according to different constitutions and diseases, the time of moxibustion is also different. This is closely related to the running time of the twelve meridians. Now a day and night is 24 hours, while in ancient times it was 12 hours, which were respectively dominated by the twelve meridians, that is to say, every hour there is a meridian that mainly works and plays a major role in the body. 12 hour is: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Zi is 1 1 p.m.-morning 1 p.m., Chou is 1 p.m. When I was young, I practiced gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, lung meridian, stomach meridian, heart meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian and triple energizer meridian. For example, there is another problem here, the lungs are not good. You can't get up in the middle of the night for moxibustion. At this time, you need to take advantage of the relationship between the inner and outer meridians, or the two meridians with the same name. For example, the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian are a pair of exterior and interior meridians, just like the relationship between husband and wife, but the working hours of the large intestine meridian are from 5 am to 7 am, which is not suitable for moxibustion. The lung meridian is the hand Taiyin meridian, the foot Taiyin meridian is the spleen meridian, and the lung meridian and the spleen meridian have the same name, just like brotherhood. The working time of spleen meridian is 9: 00- 1 1: 00 in the morning. At this time, moxibustion is effective in treating lung-related problems. Lung belongs to gold in the five elements. According to the principle that the five elements produce gold and the gold produces water, and according to the principle of "tonifying the mother and nourishing the son", if the lung heat is real, moxibustion can be carried out at 5-7 pm when the kidney meridian is working, because the kidney belongs to water. Everything else is the same, so you can draw inferences from others. In fact, there is no question whether moxibustion is good in the morning or good in the evening. The key is to see what problem you solve. 6 points for attention in moxibustion 1. Those who are extremely tired, hungry, full, drunk, sweaty and emotionally unstable are not suitable for moxibustion. 2. Some infectious diseases, high fever, coma, convulsions, or extreme physical exhaustion, skinny, etc. 3. Don't drink cold water and eat cold rice during moxibustion, which is just like moxibustion withdrawing fire, which is not conducive to the treatment of diseases. 4. It is best to drink a cup of warm water before moxibustion, which is higher than the body temperature. After moxibustion, it is best to add a cup of hot water of about 60 degrees, and it is appropriate to burn your mouth slightly. 5. If you wash your hands immediately after moxibustion, I hope you can use hot water, which is about 50 degrees higher than your body temperature. If it is not rheumatic disease, cold disease or postpartum rheumatism, you can wear cold water 30 minutes after moxibustion, but in principle, don't rush to use cold water. 6. Take a bath 20-30 minutes after moxibustion. At this time, the meridians are basically in the state of dressing after moxibustion, and the heat after moxibustion is gradually volatilized and utilized. It will be very comfortable to take a bath with hot water at this time. Moxibustion Tips: Anti-vertigo moxibustion is rare, but once it is dizzy, it will cause dizziness, dizziness, nausea, pallor, palpitation and sweating. , even fainted. Immediately after the occurrence of dizzy moxibustion, stop moxibustion, lie on your back, add moxibustion at Zusanli, and gently moxibustion for about 10 minutes.
