The arrival of summer solar terms means the peak of human yang. At this time? Winter disease is cured in summer? Most suitable, solar moxibustion is one of the methods. The following is the summer solstice moxibustion health, welcome to read!

The summer moxibustion solstice solar term is that time.

According to the theory of the unity of man and nature in TCM, the summer solstice is the season when the human body's yang is the most vigorous, so the health preservation from summer solstice should conform to the characteristics of the summer yang exuberance and pay attention to protecting the yang.

Later generations according to "Su Wen? Four qi Diao ling:? Nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, from its roots. ? Have the principles been established? Winter disease is cured in summer, and summer disease is cured in winter? The thought of prevention and control embodies the prevention and control principles of yin and yang first, strengthening the foundation and strengthening the foundation at a specific time. In a certain sense, it is to conform to the law of yin and yang changes in nature and maximize the potential of the body to adapt to the environment and resist diseases. Ancient doctors in China invented many effective, simple and economical prevention and treatment methods. Solar moxibustion? This is a unique method. Solar moxibustion can get twice the result with half the effort.

Moxibustion in specific solar terms is a traditional method of disease prevention and health care, and it is a unique moxibustion health care method handed down from ancient times. It typically embodies Chinese medicine? Heaven and man correspond? The thought of prevention and control according to the time. Moxibustion is a traditional method to warm and replenish yang qi, stimulate the qi of meridians, mobilize and develop the potential of the body, strengthen the body and prevent diseases.

The occurrence of summer sickness is due to the cold evil hidden in the body in winter and latent fever in summer. On the solstice of summer, the yang of the human body reaches its peak. At this time, moxibustion therapy for summer diseases can better play its therapeutic role, effectively support yang to avoid cold, eliminate the root causes of winter diseases, and nourish and replenish yang in the body, so that external rheumatism and summer pathogens will not be easily violated, thus blocking the pathogenesis and making the latent pathogens in winter unable to be triggered.

When the seasons alternate between yin and yang, it is the period when the elderly, the chronically ill, the infirm and other people get worse, induce persistent diseases and are prone to new diseases. Solar-term moxibustion selects acupoints whose solar terms have an influence on the function of human viscera, and uses the medicinal hot air generated by burning moxa to smoke, burn and warm the acupoints, thus stimulating the qi of meridians, warming qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, helping the human body adapt to the changes in nature, mobilizing the potential of the body to the maximum extent, adapting to the environment and resisting diseases, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

Chinese medicine believes that people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency are more suitable for moxibustion therapy. Folium Artemisiae Argyi is warm and belongs to pure yang, which can warm meridians, dispel cold and dampness, and tonify human yang. Summer happens to be the peak of yang in nature, and the combination of yang and heat has a stronger warming effect. Therefore, moxibustion can achieve the best effect of radical cure of winter diseases when the sunshine is the most abundant in summer.

Scientific principle of moxibustion

Modern medical research has proved that there are exciting or inhibitory changes in gastrointestinal activities when moxibustion is carried out at Zusanli. If gastric juice is secreted too much, moxibustion can inhibit gastric juice secretion; But for people with less gastric juice, moxibustion can promote the secretion of gastric juice. Moxibustion also has a good regulating effect on bile and saliva.

After moxibustion at Tiantu and Baihui points, some indexes of rheoencephalogram have changed obviously, suggesting that moxibustion can dilate cerebral vessels, improve their elasticity and increase cerebral blood flow. The improvement of cerebral circulation can accelerate the recovery of brain function and brain cell metabolism, improve memory, improve sleep and obviously improve clinical symptoms.

Moxibustion at Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Quchi can improve microcirculation and reduce blood coagulation. Moxibustion at Dazhui point can increase the number of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, and enhance the phagocytosis of reticuloendothelial cells.

In a word, modern scientific experiments have confirmed that moxibustion has obvious regulating effects on digestive system, circulatory system and immune system.

Families are mainly divided into moxibustion and hanging moxibustion.

According to Chinese medical records, what are the main moxibustion methods of moxibustion? Foaming moxibustion? . This is a direct moxibustion method, also known as? Scar moxibustion? . The moxa stick is made of moxa, and it is directly attached to the affected part or acupoint on the body surface after being ignited. When the moxa stick burns, the skin surface will burn, blister and ooze. This recipe achieves the purpose of eliminating deficiency cold and warming yang for mild scald.

Experts say there are clouds in ancient books? If you want to be safe, Li San usually doesn't do this? If you want to be healthy, you can moxibustion Zusanli point for a long time to keep the point foaming and oozing blood for a long time. Foaming moxibustion is powerful, but it will not only burn the skin, but also leave scars, which is difficult to operate. In addition, joints, face, limbs and many other parts are not suitable for direct moxibustion. Therefore, foaming moxibustion is not recommended for families.

? Separated moxibustion and hanging moxibustion are more suitable for families. ? Experts said that the so-called moxibustion is to ignite the moxa stick, put it on ginger slices, garlic skins, salt or medicinal cakes, and then moxibustion the affected area or acupoint. This practice can not only prevent burns, but also strengthen the curative effect. Liang Wen said that ginger slices have divergent effects and are often used for exogenous moxibustion; Garlic slices have detoxification effect and are commonly used when the skin is swollen and inflamed; Salt-separated moxibustion is most commonly used to treat spleen and stomach diseases; The medicated cake is made of many kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, which have different strengthening effects according to the different components of the medicines.

Hanging moxibustion is to ignite the moxa stick and hang it above the skin surface of the affected area or acupoint, and realize the effect of moxibustion through heat conduction stimulation. Experts say that moxa sticks rotate above acupoints or affected areas. What is this called? Rotating moxibustion? , suitable for moxibustion in the whole region; What is the name of the moxa stick that keeps pulling closer and closer above the acupoint? Bird pecking moxibustion? , suitable for single point moxibustion; The moxa stick is aimed at the whole meridian line and moves slowly back and forth along the meridian line above the skin surface, which can achieve the stimulation effect.

On the premise of good health, moxibustion should be paid attention to.

Taboo 6: Many modern clothes are made of chemical fiber, down and other textures, which are easy to burn. Therefore, we must pay attention to prevent the fire from falling, especially when moxibustion with moxa sticks, to prevent the moxa sticks from rolling down. After moxibustion, the lighted end of the moxa stick can be stuffed into a bottle with a diameter slightly larger than that of the moxa stick to facilitate extinguishing.

If it is moxibustion according to the course of treatment, it is best to moxibustion continuously every day for the first three times, each acupoint lasts 15-20 minutes, and then moxibustion every other day 10 days, which can be regarded as a course of treatment.
