What does "Zhuang" mean in moxibustion?
In the introduction and discussion of moxibustion, especially in ancient moxibustion classics, the word "Zhuang" often appears. It is an important measurement unit of moxibustion. Every time you light an moxa cone and do moxibustion, it's called moxibustion. Zhuang originally meant mature people. In moxibustion, Zhuang is used to calculate the times of moxibustion, and it is usually calculated by mature people. When using moxibustion for fitness or treatment, it is usually necessary to decide the intensity of moxibustion according to the specific moxibustion object. For people who are physically weak, chronically ill and seriously ill, less moxa sticks are used than standard mature people, and the number of strong moxibustion is also less; For people with strong constitution, initial illness and minor illness, moxa cone can be used more often and strong moxibustion can be used more often. When moxibustion is applied, it is as strong as 1, as strong as several, and as strong as hundreds or even thousands. When reading some ancient moxibustion books, I often see that when friends are treating some diseases, one acupoint needs 500 strong moxibustion, so many strong moxibustion can be understood as the number accumulated several times, but in some special cases, I think that continuous moxibustion of several hundred strong moxibustion is the specialty of long-term moxibustion, such as me. For patients with brain tumors, moxibustion can be applied continuously for up to 36 hours, and the number of strong moxibustion reaches 500 times, which successfully shrinks the tumor, so the number of strong moxibustion needs to be explored in practice. For severe and acute diseases, if the body can adapt, the stronger will promote treatment.
