On the question of moxibustion, you have to see

The effect of moxibustion is very great. The former sages concluded that moxibustion can: "strengthen the root, protect the body, fumigate the original, but eliminate all diseases, the pain of the five internal organs, and preserve the health of the whole body." When we are sick, we can Moxibustion can be used to treat diseases; if you are not sick, you can also use moxibustion to prevent diseases. The following is to answer several questions about moxibustion encountered in clinical practice one by one.

1. Is it still possible to moxibustion at the beginning of autumn when gold qi dominates?

It is absolutely possible, and it is very necessary to continue moxibustion. Although it is the beginning of autumn, the dog days have not ended, and it is still in the middle period, so it is recommended to continue moxibustion. Generally speaking, moxibustion can be used in the whole process of dog days, which is most helpful for Yang Yang. Ordinary people can keep moxibustion until the end of the dog days. Moxibustion can help the yang. If you have a yang-deficiency constitution, you can moxibustion at any time, regardless of the four seasons.

2. Can people with internal heat get moxibustion?

Generally speaking, moxibustion can be done, but it is not recommended to moxibustion acupoints on the upper part of the body, such as Baihui, Zhongwan, Shenque, etc. Zusanli or Yongquan acupoints can be moxibusted, which can cause the fire to descend; small moxa sticks can be used, or moxa sticks can be used for moxibustion. Moxibustion, or using Moxa Moxa, is easy to operate, with mild firepower and no fire; moreover, the time of moxibustion can be less, as long as you feel comfortable. If the internal heat increases after moxibustion, drink some mung bean soup to solve it.

3. The summer temperature in the place where I live is only 18°, do I also need moxibustion?

Need, still need. The yang qi of the human body has the law of rising in spring, floating in summer, harvesting in autumn, and hiding in winter. Even if you live in the Antarctic, there is still such a law. Of course, if the summer is hot, the yang qi will more easily float out. Moxibustion in summer helps the body to replenish the internal yang. The more prosperous the inner yang, the healthier the person is. It can be said that moxibustion in dog days is suitable for almost everyone.

4. Can people with damp-heat constitution get moxibustion?

I think so. Yang qi is life, moxibustion can help yang, and yang qi can make vitality healthy. When the righteousness is healthy and vigorous, the evil spirits are dispelled powerfully. The so-called: righteousness exists, evil cannot do it, which is the truth. After moxibustion, if the righteous qi is prosperous, it can not only dispel cold pathogens, but also heat pathogens, such as high fever, moxibustion on the body column or Dazhui. People with damp heat use moxibustion, and it should be done slowly, but not too hastily.

5. Can moxibustion be done during menstruation?

Can. If the uterus is deficient and cold, directly moxibustion at Guanyuan or Zhongji can best warm the uterus; if the uterus is hot and menstrual flow is heavy, moxibustion on the lower abdomen is not recommended, but Zusanli or Sanyinjiao can be used; If it is cold, then moxibustion should be done on the lower abdomen or sacrum. The more pain, the more moxibustion, the stronger the yang qi, and the spontaneous dispersal of yin and cold.

6. If you get angry after moxibustion, do you still need to continue moxibustion?

Moxibustion can be continued, but it must be combined with nourishing yin. After moxibustion, the yang qi is healthy and vigorous, and the qi transformation is favorable. Of course, if you have red eyes, insomnia, oral ulcers, nosebleeds, sore throat and other discomforts, you can stop moxibustion for a few days, or use 50 grams of Rhizoma Imperatae and 50 grams of Rhizoma Imperatae to decoct the offspring tea, which can be relieved. Or, drink some green tea, or mung bean soup, can also quickly relieve. Generally speaking, the more serious the disease, the more anger will appear after moxibustion, which is mostly a reaction of expelling evil spirits.

7. The tongue coating is yellow and thick when the damp heat is moxibustion, what should I do?

Moxibustion can be stopped first. The internal stagnation of dampness and heat will hinder the yang qi and lead to the unfavorable transformation of yang qi. At this time, there is no need to use moxibustion, but the dampness can be eliminated first, and the dampness and qi will also be dissolved. Dissolving dampness, the decoction is effective, and Sanren Decoction can be used. Then moxibustion is used again, and the qi and dampness are also dissolved. At the same time, avoid eating cold and greasy, sticky and slippery foods to avoid humidification.

8. I get sick every year in the beginning of autumn. Can moxibustion be used?

If a certain disease occurs every year at the beginning of autumn, I recommend starting moxibustion from the summer solstice. Continuous moxibustion until the beginning of autumn can completely improve the constitution of yang deficiency. The fundamental reason why one falls ill at the beginning of autumn is that the body's yang qi is insufficient, and it cannot keep up with the pace of heaven and earth. Moxibustion with the power of heaven and earth can make the yang qi healthy and vigorous, synchronize with heaven and earth, and naturally not get sick.

9. Can moxibustion be done at night?

OK. You can moxibustion at any time of the day, and you can do it at your own convenience. Of course, if possible, moxibustion at noon is recommended. The noon of a day corresponds to the summer of the year, 12 noon corresponds to the summer solstice, and 3 pm corresponds to the beginning of autumn. Moxibustion during the period from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm can also use the yang of heaven and earth to support yang and suppress yin, improve yang deficiency constitution, especially treat yin and cold syndromes.

10. Some people feel inexplicably uncomfortable as soon as the solar term arrives. Can moxibustion be used?

From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs govern qi, and the lungs govern festivals. This qi and festival refers to solar terms. If the lungs are weak and cannot control qi and govern festivals, people may not be able to keep up with the rhythm of heaven and earth, and health problems may occur during solar terms when the qi mechanism of heaven and earth changes greatly. Seeing the disease and treating the disease are the symptoms; moxibustion in Feishu or Shenzhu is the root cause. Make the lungs healthy and vigorous, and naturally do not get sick during the solar terms.

11. Can people with yin deficiency constitution take moxibustion?

We all know that moxibustion can nourish yang, but we do not know that moxibustion also nourishes yin. Yin and yang are mutually rooted, and when yang is supported, yang can qi transform into water and grain essence, and yin essence is self-sufficient; when yin is nourished, yin can collect and store yang qi, and yang also returns to the root. People with yin deficiency are prone to see fire flourishing, and proper use of moxibustion while nourishing yin and reducing fire can strengthen the power of nourishing yin. The key is to be moderate, not over moxibustion. When nourishing yin and moxibustion are combined, nourishing yin will not stagnate, and moxibustion will not cause fire.

12. Can children have moxibustion?

If the child is sick, of course moxibustion can be used. For example, if you have a cold and a fever, you can moxibustion on Dazhui, and the fever subsides due to sweating; if you have abdominal pain or diarrhea after eating raw and cold food, you can moxibustion on Zhongwan or Tianshu to heal quickly. If the child's constitution tends to be deficient and cold, it is also recommended to use moxibustion at ordinary times. For example, if a child is pale, lethargic, or has aversion to cold and cold limbs, that is, nourishing yang and warming yang, and moxibustion at Shenque and Zusanli is most helpful to improve physical fitness.

13. I have no discomfort at ordinary times, my spirit is good, my physical strength is good, I sleep well, eat well, do I still need moxibustion?

Moxibustion is still possible. Especially during the period from the summer solstice to the beginning of autumn, moxibustion can be used in time, and the yang of the heaven and earth can be used to nourish the yang of the human body, so that our yang energy will be strong and vigorous throughout the year, and all diseases will not occur. Why not do it? Moxibustion can cure diseases and maintain health. As far as health care is concerned, everyone can use moxibustion without being rigid.

14. After moxibustion, dizziness, palpitation, irritability, insomnia, or sore throat, can moxibustion be performed again?

After moxibustion, the anger rises, and the possible causes and treatment methods are analyzed. One is too much moxibustion, and the fire is activated, so use less moxibustion; two, if the vitality is insufficient, a little moxibustion will cause the fire, and the vitality will be replenished first; three, the yin deficiency and fire are strong, and the moxibustion is not resistant to fire. Yang deficiency constitution, Yang deficiency in the lower, fire floating in the upper, can moxibustion Zusanli or Yongquan.

15. Some people say that moxibustion should never be done casually, and moxibustion should only be used in critical and critical situations. Is that true?

no. Moxibustion can maintain health, support yang and suppress yin, improve physical fitness, and make people healthier. People who are not sick can use moxibustion. Usually, it is good to hang moxibustion for Zusanli. If you are sick, it is recommended to use moxibustion with wheat grains, that is, scar moxibustion. But for health, a scar is worth it. I advocate that all women should use moxibustion. Even if a moxibustion scar is left in Zusanli or Sanyinjiao, it is still the most beautiful, because healthy women are the most beautiful.

16. Can moxibustion be used in advance to prevent influenza?

Yes, and very necessary. For example, Sun Simiao once said: "Everyone in Wu and Shu has to moxibustion in three or two places on his body. Don't let the sores heal temporarily, then the poisonous gas of miasma and malaria will not be able to reach people, so Wu and Shu often practice moxibustion." Moxibustion can improve the immune function of the body, thereby resisting the invasion of pathogens. Therefore, moxibustion can prevent infectious diseases. Wu Shu Pan Guide Fang is a place with severe damp heat and epidemic air, and people are susceptible to it and become infectious diseases. It can also be extended to use moxibustion in the epidemic season of infectious diseases.

17. Can pregnant women get moxibustion?

of course. If pregnant women feel uncomfortable, they can choose acupuncture or moxibustion. Moxibustion focuses on Tongyang and Wenyang, which is suitable for pregnant women to nurse the uterus to nourish the fetus. Furthermore, if pregnant women have a cold and fever, moxibustion can also be done at Dazhui or Shenzhu points, which has a quick effect. In addition, if the fetal position is not correct, moxibustion can be applied to Yin, and the curative effect is extremely high. During the second trimester of pregnancy, pregnant women often feel hot, or are afraid of heat and prefer cold, so they can stop moxibustion. However, it should be noted that pregnant women should not moxibustion on the abdomen, Hegu and Sanyinjiao, so as not to disturb the fetal air.

Eighteen, how did you moxibustion yourself?

Every year from Lixia, I start moxibustion. What I chose is that the time is during the lunch break every day, usually from 1:50 pm to 2:30 pm. I put the moxibustion box on the navel, and added three small moxa segments to make the fire a little fiercer. If it is slightly hot during moxibustion, you can move the position of the moxa box at any time. After moxibustion, the abdomen was warm and comfortable, and the skin was slightly rosy, but there was no scar. With such moxibustion, I feel that my energy and physical strength are very good, which can help me to be competent for daily high-intensity clinical work. Moreover, the more moxibustion, the cooler the whole body, even in the summer season, it does not feel sultry and uncomfortable.
