“Moxibustion cannot be done without smoke and fire!” The original meaning of the word moxibustion is to describe and express long-term roasting. Therefore, it can be seen that moxibustion must have fire. According to the basic definition of classic moxibustion, it cannot be done without fire. Call it moxibustion. But this does not mean that the bigger the moxibustion fire, the better. Rather, it is necessary to strictly define the boundaries of acupoints, distinguish meridians, and pay attention to moxibustion materials, prescriptions, methods, and amounts of moxibustion, in order to obtain good clinical effects of moxibustion.
Just like the opinions of previous teachers, the bigger the moxibustion fire, the better. In addition to what everyone said, moxibustion needs to be applied to each person, there is a more important and basic reason: the basis of moxibustion must be According to the meridian theory, moxibustion is performed on acupoints according to the objective distribution rules of acupoint infusion. Acupoints have boundary sizes, and meridians have traveling directions and anatomical structures. As clearly stated in "Lingshu·Nine Needles and Twelve" in the Huangdi Neijing: " Huangdi said: I would like to hear the origin of the five internal organs. Qibo said: The five internal organs are five and twenty-five are, the six internal organs are six and six are six, the meridians are twelve, the collaterals are fifteen, and the generals are twenty-seven. Qi, up and down. Where it comes out is the well, where it escapes is the shu, where it flows is the shu, where it flows is the meridian, and where it enters is the union. The twenty-seven qi flows are all at the intersection of the five and the shu. In the Five Meetings, those who know what is important will end in one word, but those who do not know what is important will be scattered endlessly. Scientists from New York University in the United States released the latest research results: announcing the discovery of a new human "organ". The dense connective tissue that was once thought to be distributed throughout the body is actually a fluid-filled interstitium network and acts as a "shock absorber." ” role. They likened the structure to a "highway of flowing liquid." The research team believes it is surprising that this organ has not been discovered until now. This discovery may be of great help to research on fluid exchange and cancer spread! Some domestic scholars believe that perhaps the interstitial network is the organizational basis for the survival of meridians, and it also provides a new material and information cognitive basis for the mechanism interpretation of moxibustion.
It can be seen that moxibustion must follow the objective rules of meridians and acupuncture points, the anatomical basis, pay attention to distinguishing people and diseases, acupoint prescriptions, selecting suitable moxibustion materials and moxibustion methods, and applying the appropriate amount of moxibustion, in order to obtain the best results. Good moxibustion effect. It’s not that the bigger the moxibustion fire, the better the effect, nor does it mean that the meridians, especially the anatomical locations of the acupuncture points, are not distinguished. One moxibustion is just a large area indiscriminately, and the very particular point selection is just like the “finishing touch” and “targeted” moxibustion. , it has become a "roast" of limbs or large areas of the trunk regardless of meridians or acupuncture points. The result may be that you feel warm and sweaty. Don’t you know that using a large amount of moxibustion on multiple acupuncture points and across the meridians at the same time may greatly disturb the order of the body’s meridians, break the body’s inherent biological clock rhythm, and at the same time also It greatly affects the stress response balance of the neuroendocrine immune network induced by moxibustion. Clinically, dry mouth, dizziness, skin erythema and blisters after moxibustion, and even fainting after moxibustion, all indicate the body's excessive response to moxibustion to a certain extent.
The research results of the National 973 Large-Scale Moxibustion Research Project also confirm that the appropriate effective temperature for moxibustion is approximately between 43-52°C. Lower or higher temperatures will not help improve the clinical effect of moxibustion. . It also provides more systematic and authoritative research evidence that excessive moxibustion should not be applied.
Moxibustion is not barbecue. The bigger the fire, the better. Too much heat may seal the acupuncture points. Neither the heat nor the medicinal power can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin through the acupoints, nor can it dredge the meridians and dispel cold. Moxibustion has the functions of removing dampness, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, balancing yin and yang, supporting yang and strengthening the foundation. Moxibustion should be gentle. Moxibustion should use the heat of burning moxa, moxa smoke and moxa essential oil to act on acupoints to make the moxibustion effect more effective. Remarkably, there is now a product that is an inheritance and innovation of traditional moxa sticks. It can make full use of the characteristics of moxa smoke to find water sources, use moxa smoke to remove cold and dampness, and find dampness in the body.

First of all, answer the question, which one is best for you? Let me explain again, the questioner is a person who is very good at observing and discovering problems. This is a good point. You should put forward your own different opinions so that you can better solve the problem. Let’s do an analysis of the main problem below. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
I remember one day when my daughter-in-law was watching "My Little Girl" at home, our Olympic champion Fu Yuanhui was doing moxibustion. The moxibustion site was at the Yintang point, and I sighed that our Chinese medicine is still relatively popular, and the celebrity effect will be great. Play a better publicity role.
We need to first explain the effect of moxibustion: one is the effect of moxa leaves. During the moxibustion process, the smoke absorbed percutaneously or inhaled through the respiratory tract has a certain effect; the other is mainly based on the continuous warm stimulation of moxibustion. This should be Relatively speaking, it plays a more important role.
Let’s get to the point below. The main question mainly involves the statistics of moxibustion amount. Different groups of people require different amounts of moxibustion. The amount of moxibustion is the gold standard for determining the efficacy of moxibustion. The amount of moxibustion is mainly related to three aspects:
Moxibustion is a treatment method. Of course, the health care effect is more accepted by everyone. It is effective for cold and heat deficiency. Because of its warming effect, we It is often used more widely when treating deficiency syndrome and cold syndrome, killing two birds with one stone. What suits you is the best. The elderly have relatively weak yang energy, so the amount of moxibustion should be greater; the amount of moxibustion for children and young people should be greater. For new or acute diseases, the amount of moxibustion should be small, while for chronic diseases, the amount of moxibustion should be large. The amount of moxibustion should be large for areas with rich muscles, such as the buttocks and back; for areas with poor muscles, the amount of moxibustion on the face should be small (see the table below for details)... It is best to choose the one that suits you. Of course, no matter where the moxibustion is applied, Moxibustion, the warming effect of moxibustion must reach a certain depth, and this is the goal we should pursue.
As for moxibustion beds and space capsules, I personally don’t agree very much. Moxibustion itself is used to treat diseases. It should not be deified or overused. The best method is the one that suits you. Of course, as a treatment method, its existence makes sense. Everyone should know this, so I won’t go into details.
Depending on my physical condition, I have been insisting on moxibustion. Because he fell ill. Start with regular moxa sticks. The thunder-fire moxibustion I used recently may have serious physical problems. As soon as the moxa stick comes close, I immediately feel a sharp pain. The pain is not big, but it penetrates deep. Look at my Jiexi point when I moxibustion it. It should be that the moxibustion fire went along the veins. During the moxibustion, a small blister appeared, and then it slowly expanded on its own. In the end, all that was found were pustules. It's gone now and is almost healed.
It varies from person to person and from disease to disease. Cold diseases are best treated with fire, so Zhendan started to use moxa sticks with a diameter of 4.0 in 2010. In 2011, it started to use moxa sticks with a diameter of 4.5 to 5.0, and it has developed to 5.0 to 6.0. However, it took out the 4.0 moxa sticks that had been stored for eight or nine years. After using it, I found that the permeability is better and the moxibustion sensation comes out more easily. For people with severe cold, the moxibustion sensation is more likely to occur due to fire.
Moxibustion focuses on acupoints, penetration, and moxibustion sensation.
Warm! By grasping this temperature, you can induce people's consciousness to concentrate on the acupuncture points, activate the acupuncture points, and make them smooth!
