Third, dog days stickers, dog days moxibustion competition
1, therapeutic principle competition
Dog days stickers don't need fire, and the therapeutic principle of dog days stickers is that they are used to treat winter diseases in summer. Because there is no fire, it is also called "cold moxibustion". It is worth noting that in recent years, the "three-volt stickers" broke out rapidly, attracting people from all walks of life to come to harvest. In addition to Chinese medicine hospitals, various roadside shops and shopping networks are also selling "three-volt stickers". The raw materials used in various three-volt stickers on the market are different. Some three-day stickers are made from mustard seed, corydalis tuber, kansui, asarum and ginger in Zhang Yitong, and can also be mixed with musk, ephedra, cinnamon and fennel. Among them, white mustard seed can make the skin turn red and warm, and even cause blisters. Asarum contains aristolochic acid which can cause renal failure, and also contains more hepatotoxic safrole. Some three-day patches are mugwort leaf patches, which are made of mugwort leaf and heating layer, and the curative effect is difficult to guarantee. 20 13 state administration of traditional chinese medicine issued a notice to strengthen the application and management of the three-volt patch technology, requiring that the institutions providing the three-volt patch service should be medical institutions registered with the approval of the administrative departments of health and family planning and traditional Chinese medicine, with the subjects of Chinese medicine, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine or ethnic medicine diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it is stipulated that the prescription and acupoint selection of Sanfutie should be drawn up by a Chinese medicine doctor with the qualification of attending physician or above, and the contraindications and related precautions should be made clear. Law enforcement agencies also specially reminded that non-medical institutions such as pharmacies, beauty salons and massage centers are not allowed to carry out three-volt stickers services. Dog days moxibustion uses fire, and the therapeutic principle of dog days moxibustion with Artemisia argyi leaves as raw material is moxibustion therapy for winter disease in dog days and summer treatment. Moxibustion stimulates acupoints on the body surface by burning mild heat of moxa, and stimulates the functions of viscera and meridians in the way of meridian conduction, thus regulating the operation of yin, yang, qi and blood (regulating qi) of the body. Of course, the prerequisite for moxibustion to play a role is that it must be moxibustion with moxa sticks. The heat of moxa sticks is incomparable to other things that give off heat. The warmth of wormwood is the yang of the earth, which has the effect of warming meridians and dispelling cold; Artemisia argyi has a fragrant smell, which has the effects of developing orifices and penetrating skin. The burning heat of pure moxa is sufficient. Folium Artemisiae Argyi is moxibustion with fire, and its medicinal properties (from Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen) are as follows: "Pure yang, dredging twelve meridians, activating three yin, regulating qi and blood, expelling cold and dampness, warming uterus, dredging meridians, and eliminating diseases", which can fully penetrate into the body, thus regulating human yin and yang and improving healthy qi.
2. Competition of origin
Three-volt stickers originated in the Qing Dynasty and were popular in the recent 10 year. There are almost no records about three-volt stickers in the voluminous ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine (all from the Republic of China). It is generally believed that Sanfutie originated from Zhang's Medical Hall in Qing Dynasty. The original text mentioned: "Cold asthma moxibustion Shu Fei, plaster, sudden response, not. In the dog days in Xia Yue, white mustard seed coating is usually effective. The prescription uses one or two tablets of white mustard seed, one or two tablets of Rhizoma Corydalis and one or two tablets of Asari, and * * * is fine powder. Add half a dollar of musk, mix well, and apply ginger juice to Shu Fei and other acupoints. It hurts after application. Don't go right away. Wait until three pots smell good. Apply it once ten days later, and if you do it three times, the root of the disease will disappear. " Judging from time, medicine and acupoints, this method is basically the same as many three-day stickers today. The method is painting, similar to pasting. In ancient times, there was only an isolated prototype of three-volt stickers, which was not widely popular and had no efficacy verification. Many people equate three-volt paste with three-volt moxibustion, saying that three-volt paste has a long history, which is wrong. Searching China HowNet shows that there were 1 papers in 2003, 2004 and 2006, 2 papers in 2005 and 4 papers in 2007, and then gradually increased, reaching a peak in 2065, with 76 papers in 438+06. In other words, the real history of three-day stickers is only about ten years. Dog days moxibustion has a long history and is popular in the introduction of ancient medicine. It says, "medicine is not enough, needles are not enough, and moxibustion is appropriate." Moxibustion therapy plays an important role in traditional medicine, and has a good effect on 100 diseases. Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are a harmonious and unified whole. In the process of recuperation and treatment, the balance of yin and yang of the human body and the climate characteristics of the four seasons are organically combined to maximize the potential of the human body to adapt to the environment and resist diseases, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. The dog days are the hottest and most yang-filled time of the year. At this time, people's joints are relaxed, and meridians and qi and blood are circulating. At this time, moxibustion with the help of the power of the Yang of the sky, the Yang of the earth and the Yang of the people will have better effects than usual, whether it is treating winter diseases in summer or strengthening the foundation and supporting the Yang. In ancient China, the mainstream of dog moxibustion was warm moxibustion and scar moxibustion, especially in the first half of beginning of autumn, which was the most important in a year. It can be said that in this half a month, from dignitaries, royalty to ordinary people will use moxibustion for health care.
3. Competition of treatment time.
Three years ago, a course of treatment lasted for three days. Many dog days stickers were posted on the first, second and third day of the lunar calendar, and they were posted three times. Now you can apply at any time in dog days, but the interval should be 7 ~ 10 days. In addition, high-temperature stickers in summer may cause skin inflammation, and many stickers last only 4 hours or even less. And the application therapy will last for 3 years as a course of treatment, and patients with long course of disease should extend the course of treatment. There is a saying that moxibustion in dog days has no course of treatment. Some diseases will be cured by moxibustion several times, some diseases will be cured after a while, but some diseases need moxibustion for the whole dog days, even after the dog days.
4. Which is better, dog moxibustion or dog sticking?
Which is better, dog moxibustion or dog paste? As a Chinese medicine lover, compared with the new folk custom of "three-volt paste" that suddenly caught fire in recent years, I certainly recognize the three-volt moxibustion with a long history and definite curative effect. However, if you are a person with a simple plan, you can also use the three-volt sticker, but remember to pay attention to the raw materials of the three-volt sticker and pay attention to safe use.
