Why can moxibustion cure diseases that cannot be cured by acupuncture and drugs?
1. What's the difference between acupuncture and moxibustion?
Acupuncture can only pass the meridians, but not tonify Yuanyang. Moxibustion can benefit Yuanyang and dredge meridians at the same time. Although acupuncture therapy has the principle of "reinforcing and reducing, welcoming and following", it can only treat the symptoms of "deficiency" in general; Moxibustion can be used regardless of cold or heat.
Second, why can moxibustion cure diseases that cannot be cured by acupuncture and drugs?
It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing: "Medicine is not as good as needle, it must be moxibustion." Acupuncture activates meridians by mobilizing primitive energy. If the human body is full of vitality, acupuncture activates meridians, and the effect is immediate.
If the human body is qi-deficient, there is not enough vitality to adjust, and the natural curative effect is not good. However, people with weak vitality generally have poor absorption of gastric function, and it is difficult to fully digest and absorb drugs. Therefore, acupuncture and drugs are not as good as moxibustion, which can directly compress the meridians, eliminate cold evil and regulate the meridians without going through the stomach meridian.
3. What are the effects of wormwood?
Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Folium Artemisiae Argyi is used as medicine, which is warm in nature, bitter in taste, non-toxic and pure in yang, and has the functions of dredging the twelve meridians, restoring yang, regulating qi and blood, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold. Use it to moxibustion, which can pass through hundreds of veins and remove all diseases. " Wormwood is bitter, pungent and warm, and enters the spleen, liver and kidney. It shows that Folium Artemisiae Argyi, as a moxibustion material, has the effects of dredging channels and collaterals, dispelling yin and cold, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, and restoring yang to save adverse events.
Fourth, why can moxibustion supplement human yang?
"The sun in the sky, the wormwood on the ground", the fire of wormwood is pure yang fire, which has the function of walking through three yin and communicating with the twelve meridians. The fire of moxibustion burns continuously, which can make the pure yang and warm air of wormwood penetrate from the muscle surface, and because it is related to the viscera, it can make Yang Qi accessible.
Guanyuan point, in particular, is the intersection of foot, three yin and ren meridian, and it is also locked here by Jiao and Zhen Yang, so moxibustion with this warm gas can go straight to Jinggong and help Yuanyang. Yuanyang is the true yang, which is the motive force of yang activity. It can also be said that Guanyuan is the source of yang, and persistent moxibustion can get through Guanyuan and greatly benefit Yuanyang.
Coupled with the special formula of moxibustion, moxibustion produces radiation with special frequency when burning, which makes its aphrodisiac power more obvious, thus achieving the function of health preservation and aphrodisiac.
5. Where did the disease come from and where to go?
The ancients said, "Warm things are not as good as cold things." Modern people often do the opposite. Living in an environment where air conditioners, refrigerators and cold drinks are everywhere since childhood, women wear navel-revealing clothes and backless clothes for beauty. Use a lot of cold medicine and hormones.
Overeating cold food, even wearing skirts and riding electric cars all the year round, consumes the body's yang, resulting in low immunity, dysfunction of various systems of the body, cold and freezing, leading to various illnesses, sub-health, lifelong diseases and chronic diseases.
The best way is to moxibustion Guanyuan point, Zusanli point and Zhongwan point. Supplementing the body's yuan yang. This is the root cause. At the same time, it cooperates with local pain points of moxibustion. This is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.
6. Is there any season for moxibustion?
No. Moxibustion can be used in any season. Some people say that moxibustion is not allowed in summer, but moxibustion in summer is outward and inward. It's nonsense to say that you will be outspoken. Yang Can will always be supported.
Although human diseases are easy to recur when trees germinate in spring, moxibustion is better at this time, treating winter diseases in summer, moxibustion in dog days is better and so on. These are all relative.
If there is anything wrong with it, moxibustion is good early, and there is no need to wait until a specific solar term to moxibustion.
7. Can Ai Zhen continue his life?
Yes, moxibustion can supplement Yuanyang, human life energy, minimize diseases and enjoy its natural life. Life-saving method, mourning is the first.
"Bian Que Heart Sutra" records: "You must know how to raise yang, so that you can eliminate yin and refine pure yang, and then sanctify the world, and the clouds will take off." Therefore, as the saying goes, "Yang Jing is strong for a thousand years, while Yin Qi is deadly." There is another cloud: "Yin Qi is immortal, but Yang essence will last forever." Therefore, as doctors, we should know that protecting yang is the foundation.
People are old and weak in yang, so their hands and feet are not warm and tired. People don't die when they are alive, but Yang is born when they are alive, so Yang dies. When people are not sick, they often moxibustion Guanyuan, Qihai, Mingguan and Zhongwan, and even take Baoyuan Dan and Baoshi Yanshou Dan. Although he is not a fairy, he can live for more than one hundred years. "
Eight, people with hot constitution can not moxibustion?
Moxibustion has the function of two-way regulation, and regulates the deficiency of cold and heat in the body through conduction.
Moxibustion heat syndrome, Jing Lei said, "If you open a window, if you uncover a quilt, it is called hair." Moxibustion with moxa fire can dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood flow and promote resuscitation, so as to achieve the purpose of "suppressing fire" to dissipate heat, reduce fever and eliminate evil spirits, so it is called "fire has the power of pulling out."
Therefore, you need not be afraid. The function of our body is amazing, healthy qi is endogenous, and the evil of cold and heat naturally comes out. So hot people can moxibustion!
9. What is the feeling of moxibustion?
Moxibustion is essential for the effectiveness of qi. Moxibustion sensation is the change of qi that patients feel during moxibustion. All kinds, even strange and wonderful. Without personal experience, it is difficult to understand the mystery.
The first one is moxibustion fire along meridians: it is mostly manifested as three thermal sensation phenomena: diathermy, thermal expansion and heat transfer, indicating that the qi of meridians in the body is activated and promotes circulation; For example, when you moxibustion Zusanli, the hot air will pass down and feel the calf.
The second type is the beat: it is mostly manifested as a feeling of moxibustion, with sour, numb, bloated, painful and itchy feelings, indicating that the qi of meridians in the body is stimulated and automatically confronts the focus. The most common is that patients with high atmosphere itch, and patients with high humidity locally emit moisture.
The third is to open the door to exorcise evil spirits: wind, cold, cold and moxibustion are the most common manifestations, indicating that the menstrual qi in the body is sufficient and the sick qi begins to be excreted. Even some patients obviously feel a breath running out of their toes. The fourth type is qi foot, and the strange meridians and eight veins are unblocked. For example, it is warm all day, not afraid of cold in winter, not afraid of heat in summer, and so on. The feeling of moxibustion varies greatly among individuals, not everyone or every time.
