Acupuncture has a long history.According to textual research, it originated in ChinaPrimitive societyOfclan communeInstitutional period.China has had it since 4 million years agohuman activity, entered the clan commune system about 40000 years ago, and has continued to 4000 years ago.In this era, the ancestors used stone tools as their main production and living tools, soarchaeologyIs calledStone Age。From ancient times to 10000 years agoPaleolithic AgeFrom 10000 years ago to 7000 to 8000 years agoMesolithic AgeFrom 7000 to 8000 years ago to 4000 years ago, it was the Neolithic Age.Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy was probably born in the Neolithic Age.There are some legendary materials about the origin of acupuncture in ancient books, all referring to this era.As tranquil as Huangfu《Imperial century》It is recorded in: too howlingFuxiIt is made by tasting hundreds of herbsNine Needles”,Luobi《History of roads》It was said that Taihao Fuxi "tasted grass to cure Bian and to cure people's diseases".You Huangfu Mi《Acupuncture and moxibustion A and B meridians·The preface says:“Yellow Emperorseek the opinion ofQibo、Bogao,ShaoyuThe disciples... How can the needle be created? "Sun Simiao said in his Preface to Prepare for a Thousand Golden Prescriptions:" The Yellow Emperor was ordered to create nine needles. ".

Originating from the Neolithic Age, it can also be demonstrated from the original acupuncture tools.In ancient books more than 2000 years ago, it is often mentioned that the original acupuncture tools are stone tools, called Bian Stone.Such as《Master Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals》It is mentioned in a section of historical data collected in 550 BC“The beauty is not as good as the evil stone”,《shanhaiching》It is recorded that "there is a stone like jade in the Gaoshi Mountain, which can be used as a motto."《Plain question·On the Complete Form of Baoming;"Making Bian stone is small and big", etc.These are the evidences of ancient people's treatment of diseases with Bian stone.Bian stone therapy was originally used to puncture abscess, and then to puncture collaterals and purge blood.Our country hasInner MongoliaDuolun CountyA piece of 4.5cmThe long needle stone has a flat curved edge at one end, which can be used to cut the abscess, and the other end is in the shape of a pyramid, which can be used to bleed.In Shandong ProvinceRizhao CityIn a tomb in the late Neolithic Age, two Bian stones were also found buried, with the length of 8.3cm-9.1cm, and the tip of the pyramid and cone, which can be used for bleeding and reconciliationMeridian qi。The discovery of Bian stone provides strong evidence that acupuncture originated in the Neolithic Age.

Bian stone therapy
It comes from the ethnic groups living on fishery in the eastern coastal areas of China.According to Su Wen · On the Suitability of Different Methods, "The people eat fish and are fond of salt. They are all safe in their places and enjoy their food. Fish makes peopleHot。Salt is better than blood.Therefore, its people are all black, and its diseases are carbuncles and ulcers, which should be treated by Bian stone.Therefore, Bian stone also comes from the east. "The "East" here is equivalent to ChinaShandongOne Belt.In recent years, a group of Han people with needle needle as the theme have been found in Shandong ProvinceRelief stone, half a man is carved on the relief stoneHalf birdThe magic doctor of Xing is treating people with stone needle or fine needle.The bird shape obviously originated from the totem worship of primitive clans, and the stone relief reflects the legend of the origin of needle needle in ancient times.
Moxibustion
It also originated from the period of clan commune system in primitive society.According to the record in Suwen · Theory on the Suitability of Different Methods, "The north is the place where heaven and earth are closed. It is cold and cold in Gaoling, and milk is eaten in the folk music. The Tibetan cold is full of diseases, and moxibustion is suitable for treatment. So moxibustion is also from the north." This record shows that the discovery of moxibustion is closely related to the habits of life in cold and cold environments.People living in the north of the primitive society could not live without a fire for heating. In addition, their living habits of living in the wild and feeding milk easily made them prone to abdominal cold pain, fullness and other diseases, which was very suitable forHyperthermia。Therefore, through long-term accumulated experience, moxibustion and ironing therapy were invented.According to the investigation, the ancestors drilled wood to make fire or beatFlintIn making fire, moxa wool is often used as kindling material. Bone divination, which originated in the late primitive society, also uses moxa wool to burn animal bones.It is obvious that this method of ignition with moxa wool provides for the invention of moxibustionnecessary condition。

From the Warring States Period toQin and Han DynastiesDuring the period, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic (abbreviated as《Internal meridian》)be published in book formAs a sign, the physicians at this time not only have built a theoretical framework with collateral theory as the core, but also have effectively used acupuncture, moxibustion and other techniques to prevent and treat diseases, and are good at combining theory with practice. They have constantly developed and updated theory in practice, initially forming a unique theoretical system of acupuncture and moxibustion with principles, methods, prescriptions, acupoints and techniques as a whole.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chinaslave societystride intofeudal society, productivity improvement andsocial systemAnd the progress of various academic ideas,Ancient PhilosophyThe influence of acupuncture and moxibustion has promoted the deepening of acupuncture and moxibustion from practical experience to theoretical height.Acupuncture tools have developed from stone needle, bone needle and bamboo needle to metal needle, thus expandingAcupuncture therapyRange of application.According to《Master Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals》It is recorded that Yi Yan and Yi He were good at acupuncture and moxibustion during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.Pre Qinfamous doctorFlat magpie(Qin and Yue people) is administering to Crown Prince GuoNecrotic syncopeAt that time, he asked his disciple Ziyang to take over the Three Yang and Five Meeting to revive the crown prince, and made his disciple Zibao to iron medicine under his two threats, while the crown prince sat up.It proves that needle needling, fire moxibustion, medicinal ironing, etcAll haveIt is widely used in the treatment of various diseases.In 1973, there were two kinds of ancient books on the meridians in the medical silk books unearthed from the No. 3 Han Tomb at Mawangdui in Changsha, which recorded the circulation, symptoms and moxibustion treatment of eleven meridians.According to the naming characteristics of foot arm, yin and yang, it is called "Foot Arm Eleven Pulse Moxibustion Meridian" and "Yin Yang Eleven Pulse Moxibustion Meridian", which reflects the early appearance of the meridian theory, the core theory of acupuncture and moxibustion.
《Internal meridian》The coming out of was the inevitable result of the development of medicine from the Pre Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty.This book was written from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was still revised and supplemented from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.《Internal meridian》Including Plain Questions and《Lingshu》Two parts, 18 volumes in total, 162 articles. On the basis of previous literature, it takes Yin and Yang, five elements, zang fu organs, meridians, acupoints, spirit, qi and blood, body fluid, etc. as examplesfundamental theory, mainly acupuncture and moxibustionmedical technology, usingatheismThe viewpoint, holistic viewpoint, development and change viewpoint, and the viewpoint corresponding to the human body and the nature discussed the physiology, pathology, diagnosis essentials and principles of disease prevention and treatment of the human bodyFundamentals of Acupuncture and MoxibustionAmong them, the acupuncture theory contained in Lingshu is more abundant and systematic, so Lingshu is also called "Acupuncture Classic".

Many famous doctors' works have appeared, which has promoted acupuncture and moxibustionTheoretical systemDevelopment of.

Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties
During the Song, Jin and Yuan DynastiesTypographyThe wide application ofmedical literatureIt has accelerated the spread and development of acupuncture and moxibustion.Famous acupuncturistWang YiyiWith the support of the Northern Song Dynasty government, the location and meridians of 354 acupoints were revised, and the main symptoms and syndromes of acupoints were added. It was written in 1026 AD《Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Diagram and Manual》, EngravingMonument, issued by the government.In A.D. 1027, two bronze models designed by Wang Yiyi were made, with channels and acupoints carved on the outside and viscera embedded inside for teaching and examinationAcupuncturistUse.Southern Song DynastyAn acupuncturist ofWang ZhizhongBy《Zisheng Meridian of Acupuncture and Moxibustion》, attaching importance to practical experience, which has great influence on later generations.Famous medical scientist in Yuan DynastySlippery longevity, examining the meridian circulation and its relationship with acupoints, in the Yuan DynastyKutai must be strongCompiled on the basis of Jinlan's Diagram of Acupoint Selection along Meridians《Fourteen meridiansPlay ", taking the post for the first timeGovernor vesselandTwelve MeridiansIt is also called "fourteen meridians", which further develops the theory of meridians and acupoints.During this period, there were many famous doctors who were good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and their works were quite rich《Preparation of acute moxibustion》、《Mysterious Moxibustion of Carbuncle》The publication of books such as Cursive Acupoint Moxibustion marked the in-depth development of acupuncture in various departments.Early Southern Song DynastyXi HongAll generations have specialized in acupuncture and moxibustion, and the handed down Xi Hongfu pays special attention toNeedling method。SimultaneousSinus materialBy《Bian Que Heart Book》The burning moxibustion method is highly recommended, with each moxibustion dozens or even hundreds of strong.At that time, Yang Jie and Zhang Ji observed the autopsy in person, and advocated usinganatomyKnowledge guides the selection of acupuncture points.He Ruoyu and Writing in Jin Dynasty《Meridian Flowing Needle Meridian》OfYan Mingguang, advocate on timeAcupoint selection method。Famous doctors in Jin and Yuan dynastiesDou HanqingBoth respectedMeridian streamer, and advocateEight method streamer, take acupoints on time, he compiled《Biao You Fu》YesAcupuncture song fuA famous article in.
Acupuncture and moxibustion is based onTCM TheoryFor guidance, useacupunctureAnd moxibustion to prevent and treat diseases.It is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, including meridians, acupoints, acupuncture methods, clinical treatment, acupuncture medical classics, experimental acupuncture, etc.
Acupuncture and moxibustion haveIndicationsWide, obvious curative effect, convenient operation, economic safety and other advantages, it has been widely accepted for thousands of yearsworking peopleWelcome toChinese nationHas made great contributions to the prosperity of.
Acupuncture and moxibustion is a kind of medicine created and developed by the working people and medical experts of all previous dynasties in the long-term struggle against diseases.It has a long history and its origin is difficult to examine, but from the literature recordsunearthed relic、Law of social developmentSuch exploration has sprouted long before the creation of characters.
According to the Soul Pivot, Nine Needles and Twelve Plains, "It's useless not to be poisoned if you want more."Bian stone, want toMicroneedleIt can be seen that the predecessor of needle is Bian stone."Shuowen Jiezi" records: "Bian, stone stabs the disease."《Mountain and Sea Classic · East Mountain Classic》:“Gaoshi MountainThere are many jades on it, but there is no jade on itstone probes or needles”。Guo PuNote: "It can be used to treat the pain and swelling of the patient with the hammer (needle)".This isBian techniqueEarlier records.The ancients lived in the land of flood and famine. They fought with birds and beasts, and could not be free from disease.When they get sick, they will instinctively use their hands orFlakeTouching and massaging a part of the body surface can sometimes relieve the disease.Through long-term experience accumulation, the method of Bian stone treatment is gradually formed.In 1963,Inner MongoliaAutonomous RegionDuolunThe flag head is hollowNeolithic AgeA ground one was unearthed from the siteStone stylusAccording to the appraisal, it is believed that it is the original tool of acupuncture, Bian Stone.Therefore, the origin of Bian stone can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 10000 to 4000 years ago, or even earlier.
1968 in HebeiMancheng CountyThe excavated tomb of Liu Sheng in the Western Han Dynasty contains nine gold and silver medical needles.The production is quite fine, which proves the continuous progress of metal needles.
Moxibustion came into being after the discovery and use of fire. People found that the pain of a certain part of the body was felt comfortable or relieved by the fire. Through long-term practice, moxibustion was formed from various branches to moxibustion.The Simple Questions · Theory of the Suitability of Different Methods says: "The Tibetan cold is full of diseases, and its treatment is appropriateMoxibustion。”That is to say, with the progress of medicine in later generations, it has developed into a variety of moxibustion methods.
Due to the gradual reform of acupuncture and moxibustion equipment and materials, the scope of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment has been expanded, the therapeutic effect has been improved, and the development of acupuncture and moxibustion science has been effectively promoted.
Acupuncture and moxibustion at foot points
The development of acupuncture and moxibustion has gone through a long process.In Hunan in 1973ChangshaAmong the medical silk books unearthed from the 3rd Han Tomb in Mawangdui, there are two kinds of books on ancient meridians, namely“Moxibustion Meridians of Eleven Meridians of Foot and Arm”、“Yin Yang Eleven Meridians Moxibustion”。It describes the circulation distribution, symptoms and moxibustion treatment of the Shiyi pulse.According to preliminary research, his works are older than《Inner Canon of Huangdi》,Meridian theoryWe can see the early appearance of.
The Huangdi Internal Classic has a detailed discussion on the meridians, acupoints, acupuncture and moxibustion methods, as well as indications and contraindications《Lingshu》The acupuncture theory contained in the book is more abundant and systematic, so Lingshu is also called "Acupuncture Classic".It can be seen that acupuncture and moxibustion science was relatively mature at that time, which laid a theoretical foundation for the development of acupuncture and moxibustion science in later generations.
The earliest existing acupuncture monograph except《Lingshu》First promoted by Huang Fumi of the Jin Dynasty《Acupuncture and moxibustion A and B meridians》。Author Reference《Internal meridian》Mingtang Kongxue Zhiyao discusses the theory of viscera and meridians, describes the fu points according to the head, face, chest, abdomen, back and other positions, develops and determines the location, indications and operation of 349 points on the basis of Neijing, and introduces acupuncture techniques, taboos and treatment of common diseases.This is the following《Internal meridian》Later, another summary of acupuncture and moxibustion played a connecting role in the history of acupuncture and moxibustion.There are 109 prescriptions for acupuncture and moxibustion included in "Reserve Emergency Prescriptions" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 99 of which are moxibustion prescriptions, which has aroused people's attention to moxibustion, making moxibustion and acupuncture developed as well.Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty explained the selection and application of "Ashi acupoint" in "Thousand Golden Prescriptions", and drew the "Three People in Mingtang Hall", which divided the front, back and side of the human bodyTwelve Meridians,Eight Extra MeridiansPainted in different colors, especially the method of moxibustion to prevent diseases, has made contributions to preventive medicine.
Later, Wang Tao wrote《Secret of the Outer Stage》The comprehensive introduction of moxibustion plays an active role in promoting moxibustion.Sui and Tang Dynasties“Imperial Medical Department”, in chargemedical education Acupuncture and moxibustion became one of the specialized disciplines, with doctors, assistant professors and acupuncturists working in teaching, which shows the importance attached to acupuncture and moxibustion at that time.Northern Song DynastyWang Yiyi compiled the "Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Diagram", which described the meridians, acupoints and other contents, and verified 354 acupoints. The book was once carved on a stone tablet and set up in Bianjing (now HenanKaifeng)For the learners of acupuncture to print and read.The next year, two bronze figures were designed and cast, which is the earliest in ChinaAcupuncture model , for identificationAcupointsAnd teaching.Hua Biren of the Yuan Dynasty believed thatRen and DuAlthough it is an extraordinary sutra, there are special acupoints, which should be discussed together with the twelve meridians. It can be summarized as fourteen meridians《Exert the Fourteen Classics》This paper systematically expounds the route of the meridians and related fu points, which is very beneficial to the study of the meridians by later generations.The Ming Dynasty witnessed the flourishing development of acupuncture and moxibustion.Yang JizhouOn the basis of the family heirloom "Mysteries of Hygienic Acupuncture and Moxibustion", we collected the acupuncture works of previous dynasties and wrote《Acupuncture and moxibustion》, rich in content, following《Internal meridian》、《Class-A and Class-B》After that, another summary of acupuncture and moxibustion was made.Until today, it is still the main reference book for studying acupuncture and moxibustion.At that time, Chen Hui《God response sutra》, Xu Feng's《A Complete Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion》,Gao WuOf《Acupuncture and moxibustion JuyingPlay ",Wang JiOf《Acupuncture and moxibustion》、Li ShizhenOf《Research on the Eight Meridians of Qi Jing》And so on. Each school has its own advantages, forms different schools, contends with each other, and promotes the development of acupuncture and moxibustion.In the Qing Dynasty, although there wereWu QianYi Zong Jin Jian Acupuncture and Moxibustion Mental Skill andLiao RunhongThe book "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Integration" and other books were published, but there were few new meanings. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, acupuncture and moxibustion had declined.
Although acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, which has been popular for thousands of years, has been developing continuously, its speed is relatively slow due to the limitation of historical conditions, especially in the Qing Dynastyruling classBe bound byfeudal ethics In 1822, it was ordered to stop with the absurd reason of "acupuncture and fire moxibustion are not suitable for the emperor"Taihu HospitalUse of acupuncture and moxibustion, abolishedAcupuncture, General“Confucian doctor”Also pay attention toDecoction medicineLight acupuncture.After the defeat of the Opium War,ImperialismInvasion, setting up church hospitals andMedical college, repel and attack ChinaMedicineThe cause of traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture and moxibustion, has declined even further, and has almost never recovered.However, because acupuncture is economical, convenient and effective, it is popular among the working people. Although the Kuomintang government tried to kill it, it was still applied and spread among the people.At the same time, people with lofty ideals all over the country set up societies and schools to cultivate talents and made certain contributions to the promotion of acupuncture.
New China was foundedLater, due to the implementation of the Chinese medicine policy of the Party, traditional Chinese medicine gained new life and brought about the revival and prosperity of acupuncture and moxibustion.It has been established in all parts of the countryTraditional Chinese MedicineThe hospital and the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine have set up acupuncture specialty andspecialtyAnd established special research institutions, which have made great achievements in acupuncture teaching, medical treatment and scientific research.
Over the past 30 years, he has compiled and published a large number of books on acupuncture and moxibustion.National AdvancedMedical collegeUnified acupuncture and moxibustion teaching materials were used, and《Internal meridian》《Dysmenorrhea》Classics A and B《Acupuncture and moxibustion》There are more than ten thousand papers on acupuncture published in newspapers and periodicals all over the country.It has created good conditions for learning acupuncture and moxibustion, and greatly enriched the contents of acupuncture and moxibustion medicine.
Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion
The clinical work of acupuncture and moxibustion has made great progress, and the treatment of diseases has been expanding.Clinical practice shows that acupuncture has different effects on more than 300 kinds of diseases in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics, and has good or very good effects on about 100 kinds of diseases.Acupuncture and moxibustion treatmentCardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases、Biliary calculi、bacterial dysenteryWe not only confirmed the curative effect with scientific methods, but also used modern physiology, biochemistrymicrobiology、immunologyAnd so on.Since the 1960s, China's medical community has adoptedAcupuncture anesthesia, successfully carried out a variety ofsurgical operation, foranaesthesiaMethods New contents were added, which attracted the attention of scholars all over the world and promoted the development of acupuncture medicine.
In recent years, the principle of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment has been studied in depth through multidisciplinary cooperation.Prove that acupuncture and moxibustion have different effects on the bodysystem functionIt can adjust and enhance the disease resistance of the body.The study of acupuncture analgesia principle has gone deep intonerve cell、ElectrophysiologyandNeurotransmitterSuch as neuropeptide and other molecular biochemical levels.
For thousands of years, acupuncture and moxibustion medicine has not only played a significant role in the health care of our people, but also spread abroad for a long timemedical careThe cause has also made certain contributions.About the sixth century AD, acupuncture medicine was introduced into Korea, and《Acupuncture and moxibustion A and B meridians》Other books are textbooks.In 562 AD, Wu people in ChinaZhicongCarry《Mingtang Map》, The Classics of Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B came to Japan.In 701, Japan began to set up medical educationAcupunctureUp to now, it has also opened a junior college of acupuncture and moxibustion, which is very popular with Japanese people.At the end of the 17th century, acupuncture was introduced to Europe.In addition to setting up acupuncture specialties, some countries have also set up special institutions to study acupuncture medicine and held international acupuncture academic conferences for many times.Some provinces and cities in China have set up international acupuncture training bases to train a large number of acupuncture doctors for countries around the world.At present, there are more than 120 in the worldcountries and regions We carried out acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, scientific research and education.world health organizationIt also recommends acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for 43 diseases to all countries in the world.In November 1987, with the support of the World Health OrganizationWorld Federation of Acupuncture and MoxibustionThe inaugural meeting and the first World Acupuncture and Moxibustion Academic Conference.China's unique acupuncture and moxibustion medicine has become an important part of world medicine, and has a positive and widespread impact.
Moxibustion refers to the application of high temperature (mainly the warm heat generated after the burning of moxa or other substances) or low temperature, or certain materials (drugs or other substances that stimulate the skin)direct contact The stimulation generated after the skin surface acts on the acupoints or specific parts of the human body to prevent or treat diseases.It is the main component of acupuncture and moxibustion medicine and one of the important traditional non drug therapies in China.
Overview of moxibustion

Moxibustion belongs to thermotherapy and is closely related to fire. The history of fire in China can be traced back to the era of "Beijingers" or "Lantian people" 500000 years ago, or even further.According to archaeological researchZhoukou StoreRemaining ashes and burned animal bones or earth and stone are found in the bone bearing fossil stratum excavated.As early as the primitive clan commune about 50000 years ago, our ancestors knew how to use fire to heat and cook food, especially the "cave people" who lived at the top of the mountain 18000 years agoManual ignitionMethod.Moxibustion sprouts with the application of fire, and develops continuously in its application practice.
When the ancients simmered for warmth, they were accidentally burned by fire and relieved some kind of pain, thus gaining the enlightenment that burning can cure diseases, which is the origin of moxibustion.The word "moxibustion" is in《Analytical Dictionary of Characters》It is interpreted as "burning" in Chinese, which means burning to cure diseases. The earliest possible method is to use branchesFirewoodSmoked, ironed, burned and scalded by fire to eliminate pain, moxa was gradually used as the main moxibustion material.Ai, which has been growing all over China since ancient times, has become the best material for moxibustion instead of ordinary branch fuel because of its fragrant smell, warm and flammable nature, and mild firepower.According to《Master Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals》Record,Lu Chenggong10 years (581 BC),Jin JinggongDisease,the Qin stateThe imperial physician ordered Yi Huan to come for a diagnosis. Yi Huan said, "You can't do anything fast. If you are above the blind and under the ointment, you can't attack it. If you can't reach it, you can't cure it with medicine."Jin dynastyDu YuNote: "attack" refers to moxibustion, and "reach" refers to acupuncture.Han dynastyZhang ZhongjingOf《Treatise on typhoid and miscellaneous diseases》There are records of "can fire" and "can't fire", and the fire mentioned in them also refers to moxibustion.
The word "moxibustion" is first mentioned in the existing literature records in Zhuangzi o Robber's Foot, such asConfuciuspersuadeWillow plantar"Qiu's so-called self moxibustion without disease" also recorded in "Mencius leaving Lou" that "people who want to be king today are like seven years of disease and three years of wormwood", which obviously also refers to moxibustion.It can be inferred thatSpring and Autumn Period and Warring States PeriodMoxibustion is very popular in the times.In 1973, No. 3 Han Tomb was excavated at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan Province, China.In the unearthed silk books, there are three articles recording the meridian moxibustion method, which are found at present《Internal meridian》The earliestPrecious literature。In medical monographs, moxibustion was first seen in《Internal meridian》.According to the book, "In the north, the heaven and earth are closed to Tibet. It is located in Gaoling, where the wind is cold and the ice is cold, and where the folk music is wild, they eat milk,Visceral coldThe full disease should be treated by moxibustion on Bing, so the moxibustion on Bing also comes from the north. "It shows that the emergence of moxibustion is closely related to the living habits, conditions and disease characteristics of people in northern China.
Moxibustion was initially used by the ancientsDirect moxibustion, andMoxa coneLarger,Strong number(moxa coneCounting unit)More, such as《Taiping Shenghuifang》It was pointed out that "although the number of moxibustion cones is sufficient, the sores will become festering, which is bad; if the sores do not become festering, the disease will not be cured." The Medical School Jinjian o Tips on Acupuncture and Moxibustion Mind Skill also said that "for all diseases of moxibustion, the fire must be sufficient to qi, and then it can be cured." At the same time, the ancients highly praised the application of itPurulent moxibustionHealth care and disease prevention.Modern moxibustion rules have made great progress. In order to alleviate the pain of patients receiving moxibustion, young moxibustion with small moxa cones is often used, and a variety of moxibustion methods have been developed, such asMoxa stick moxibustion, medicinal stick moxibustion (including Taiyishen acupuncture, Leihuoshen acupuncture, etc.)Warming moxibustion、Warming acupuncture、Celestial moxibustion、Light moxibustionEtc.According to different conditions, indirect moxibustion is often used, and the separated items are mostly ginger slices, garlic slices, saltfermented soya beanCakeAconite cakeEtc.Moxibustion has made great contributions to human health care.

Summarizing the practical experience from ancient to modern times, moxibustion mainly performs the following functions.
Moxibustion apparatus
Warming Meridians and Dispelling Cold
Normal human bodyLife activitiesIt depends on the function of qi and blood,When qi flows, blood flows,If qi stops, blood stopsThe popularity of blood and qi in the meridians is due to the push of "qi".Various reasons, such as“Cold leads to qi contraction, hotQi disease”And so on, which can affect the prevalence of blood gas and cause various diseases.The air temperature is blood slippery, and the cold air is blood astringent, that is to say, the movement of qi and blood has the characteristics of dispersing when encountering the temperature and coagulating when encountering the cold.thereforeZhu DanxiHe said: "When blood is hot, it will go; when cold, it will coagulate.".Therefore, all diseases with astringent qi and blood and no heat phenomenon can be treated by warming qi.It is said in the chapter of Soul Pivot - True Evil of Stab Festival: "The blood in the pulse can be coagulated and stopped, but can't be taken without the fire tone".The Miraculous Pivot Forbidden Clothes also said: "Those trapped in it, their veins and blood are tied in the middle,Blood coldTherefore, moxibustion is appropriate.Moxibustion is to use its warm stimulation to warm meridians and relieve arthralgia.adoptHot moxibustionWarm stimulation of meridians and acupoints can warm meridians and dispel cold, strengthen the bodyHP operationTo achieve the purpose of clinical treatment.Therefore, moxibustion can be used to prevent blood cold from running smoothly and prevent stagnation and astringencyArthralgia syndrome, diarrhea and other diseases, the effect is very significant.
Promoting qi and unblocking collaterals
Meridians are distributed in all parts of the human body,inlineThe zang fu organs cover the body surface, muscles, bones and other tissues.In a normal body, qi and blood flow around the meridians in a continuous and orderly manner. If wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, etcexternal causeInvasion of human body or partStagnation of qi and bloodIf the meridians are blocked, swelling, pain and other symptoms and a series of dysfunction can occur. At this time, moxibustion at certain points can play a role inHarmonize life, dredge the meridians,Balancing machineIt can be used clinically for sores, boilsfrostbite、Urosis、sterility, TwistcontusionEspecially in surgery and traumatology.
Strengthening yang and strengthening detachment
Life depends on Yang Qi. If you get what you want, you will live. If you lose what you want, you will die. SoYang diseaseWhen yin is abundant, it means cold and syncope, or the energy is weak and the pulse is weak. When this happens, it is just like《Plain question·According to Jue Lun, "Yang Qi declines below, then it isCold syncope”。If the yang qi is weak, the yin qi is strong alone. If the yang qi is not connected to the hands and feet, thenCold hand and foot。In case of serious illness, Yang Qi will decline,Yin and Yang are separatedIsopathy,Use largeThe cone heavy moxibustion can dispel the cold yin and restore the yang.This is beyond other acupoint stimulation therapies.The Acupuncture and Moxibustion Zisheng Sutra of the Song Dynasty also mentioned: "Anyone who drowns can be saved for one night. He can get rid of the clothes of the dead and live by moxibustion in the navel".《Typhoid theory》It is pointed out that:“Shaoyin diseaseTuliThe hands and feet are cold against the cold... If the pulse does not reach, moxibustion will be used for Shaoyin and Qizhuang "."Lower profits,Febrile hand and foot, irritability, moxibustion Jueyin, and moxibustion for those without pulse.It indicates that Yang Qi such as vomiting, weakness, cold hands and feet, weak pulse, etcCollapseOf critically ill patients, such as heavy moxibustion with large moxa coneGuan Yuan、ShenqueOther acupoints, because the wormwood leaf has the nature of pure yangCatch fireIt belongs to Yang originally, and two Yang are derived from each other. It can often play the role of helping the Yang to get rid of, restoring the Yang to save the adverse, and saving the dying disease. It is commonly used in clinical practiceapoplexyGet rid of symptomsAcute abdominal painVomiting and diarrheadysenteryWait for emergency treatment.
Ascending Yang and Lifting Sink
It can be caused by weak and unstable yang qiUpper vacuity and lower solidity,Qi deficiency subsidence, appearsProlapse of anus、Yin Ting、Long catharsisChronic dysentery、Metrorrhagia、Slip tyreEtc《Soul Pivot - Energy Channels》Article Yun:“Moxibustion occurs when sinking”Therefore, qi deficiency, sagging and organ ptosis are commonly usedMoxibustion。aboutSinkageOne disease, founder of spleen and stomach theoryLi DongyuanIt is also believed that "those who sink into the Yin Qi are not allowed to suffer from cold", "there is nothing else in the world, but only Yin and Yang. Yang is on the outside, and Yin is on the inside. Now, those who sink into the Yin Qi are trapped in the Yin Qi, and Yin is on top of it to recover its Yang. Those whose pulse and syndrome are both seen outside, then moxibustion".Therefore, moxibustion can not only benefit qiWarming yangIt also has effects on those with weak yang defence and loose striae.Make the body function return to normal.Moxibustion can be used for diseases such as anal prolapse, yin stiffness, chronic diarrhea, etcBaihuiAcupoints are used to improve yang, and "pushAbove”, and《Wing of Classics Diagram》As the saying goes, "For those who have anal prolapse in the process of discharging cold through a hole, moxibustion will strengthen the water supply.".In short, this is also one of the unique functions of moxibustion.
Detoxification and heat release
Many physicians have proposedHeat syndromeFor the problem of moxibustion prohibition, as pointed out in the "General Record of Sacred Aid", "If the moxibustion is caused by the disease of Fuyang, it is a great rebellion";Many modern acupuncture textbooks also regard heat syndrome as one of the forbidden moxibustion.But ancient and modern physicians have different views on this.It is also recorded in ancient literature that "moxibustion can be used for heat"Carbuncle gangreneIt was first seen in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, and moxibustion has been used asThis diseaseAn important treatment of syndrome.The Tang Dynasty's "Preparation for Emergency Prescriptions" further points out that moxibustion has a negative effect on the internal organsExcess heatIt has a cathartic effect. In many places, the book alsoHot poisonCarbuncle and gangrene caused by accumulationSyndrome of internal heat due to yin deficiency"The small intestine is full of heat, and moxibustionYin capital, growing stronger with each passing year“Carbuncle of intestineBend two elbows, and moxibustion on the sharp bones of the elbows will lead to pus and blood, which is bad.“Quench thirst,XerostomiaIntolerable, moxibustion on the small intestine to Yu Baizhuang,Horizontal three cubitsMoxibustion ".Zhu Danxi, a doctor in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, believed that moxibustion in the heat syndrome meant "following the treatment";《Introduction to Medicine》Then clarifyheat symptom-complexThe mechanism of moxibustion: "Heat is moxibustion, which can induce the qi of stagnation and heat, and the meaning of fire is dryness".It is pointed out in the "Yi Zong Jin Jian: Carbuncle and Gangrene Moxibustion Method" that "within seven days from the beginning of carbuncle and gangrene, it is best to start and end the moxibustion with drugs, and the moxibustion with no pain will stop until the pain is felt, and the moxibustion with sore pain will stop until the pain is felt".In a word, moxibustion can induce heat with heat and make the heat go out.Moxibustion energyDispel coldIt can also clear away heat, indicating that it can improve the original functional state of the bodyBidirectional regulationeffect.Especially with the increase of moxibustion and the expansion of clinical scope, this role is increasingly recognized by people.
Disease prevention and health care
Chinese ancient physicians had long recognized the importance of disease prevention, and put forward the idea of "preventing disease before it happens"“Prevent disease”In addition toTherapeutic effectIn addition, it has the function of disease prevention and health care, which is one of the methods of disease prevention and health care, which is recorded in many ancient documents.As early as in the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine;To preventrabies。It is said in the book "Prepare for Emergency Prescriptions" that "when officials travel to Wu and Shu, they often need to moxibustion in three or two places on their bodies. Do not let the sores fester temporarily, which will lead to malariaWarm malariaPoison gas can't touch people ".Explain that moxibustion canprevent infection。《Acupuncture and moxibustion》Mention moxibustionZusanliIt can prevent stroke..As the folk saying goes, "If you want to be in good health, don't do it for three miles", "moxibustion for three miles will not stop, and all disasters and diseases will stop".Since moxibustion can warm the yang and tonify the deficiency, moxibustion at ZusanliZhongwan, which can make the stomach qi always full, and the stomachSea of ValleyRong Weizhi's five viscera and six internal organs are all affected by his qi. If stomach qi is always full, then qi and blood are full;The gate of life is where the true fire of the human body lies, and is the foundation of human beings;Guan YuanGas sea is the essence of reservoirHematopoiesisMoxibustion on the upper acupoints can make the stomach full of qi and yang sufficient,Blood essenceFilling, thus strengthening the bodyResistanceThe disease and pathogen are difficult to commit, so as to achieve the goal of disease prevention and health care.In modern times, moxibustion has become one of the important health care methods for disease prevention and health care.
