Moxibustion was created in ancient times in China, because its mechanism of action is similar to that of acupuncture, and it has complementary therapeutic effects with acupuncture, and usually acupuncture and moxibustion are used, so it is called acupuncture. Acupuncture and moxibustion have had a profound impact on the treatment of diseases at home and abroad, but when modern people say acupuncture and moxibustion, most of the time they only refer to needle therapy, which rarely includes moxibustion anymore. We usually think of acupuncture and moxibustion as the same kind of therapy, but this is actually not the case. Although they are both based on the knowledge of meridian points in the human body, acupuncture produces only physical effects, while moxibustion is a combination of medicine and physics. The scope of treatment is also different between the two, and the difference is referred to by the saying “what acupuncture does not do, moxibustion does”. We say that moxibustion is a miraculous treatment because it does have a lot of unusual features. First of all, moxibustion’s healing effects are amazing. Moxibustion therapy has a wide range of indications and was the main treatment for diseases in ancient China. In the words of Chinese medicine, it has the effect of warming the Yang, tonifying the Qi, warming the meridians, dispersing stasis and nodules, and nourishing the middle and benefiting the Qi. It can be widely used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and diseases of the five senses, and it has special effects on mastitis, prostatitis, frozen shoulder, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical spondylosis, and diabetes. Secondly, moxibustion has peculiar health care effects. Moxibustion has been used for thousands of years in China to prevent diseases and prolong life. The “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, “the great wind sweat, moxibustion Yi Xi points”, is a health care moxibustion method. The Zhuangzi records that the sage Confucius “moxibustion without disease”, also refers to the use of moxibustion for health care. The moxibustion research done by the Japanese, such as Sudo Sakae, also showed that moxibustion can activate the potential anti-cancer effect in the skin tissue, and play a role in the treatment of cancer. Moreover, the origin of moxibustion is even more amazing. According to the research, the invention of moxibustion should be primitive people with fire, a certain part of the disease by the fire baking and feel comfortable, they took the initiative to use fire burning to treat more diseases. In ancient times, mugwort was also called ice platform, the ancient people before the divination, the production of ice to get fire, moxa as a guide, in this ritual atmosphere to lead the fire of the sky, the witch to the tortoise nail zhaoge and the blood vessels of the human body to obtain a simulated imagination, thinking about the theory of fire and gas in Chinese medicine, and then produced moxibustion, a magical means of treatment. In modern society, acupuncture has been developed, while moxibustion has been neglected. Moxibustion burns the patient’s meridian points during the treatment process, leaving scars on the body. Mr. Zhou Fansheng, a moxibustion master, pointed out that it is the double pain brought by the disease and the moxibustion sore that makes moxibustion fall into disrepair, and called for an in-depth study of moxibustion to promote its modernization. There are some modernized moxibustion therapy instruments on the market, but most of them are based on photoelectric method, which is close to the pure physical therapy, and the compound effect of drug and heat source produced by moxibustion with moxa as heat source is completely different, and it is also incompatible with the principle of Chinese medicine of moxibustion, and the health and medical effects are very limited. In recent years, with the recognition of the uniqueness of moxibustion’s therapeutic effects, moxibustion therapy has regained the attention of the medical community, and the pace of modernization research is accelerating. Modern moxibustion therapy instrument should be the combination of traditional moxibustion materials and photoelectric instruments, under the action of modern new heat sources (such as infrared, magnetic therapy) to give full play to the drug effectiveness of moxa, and has the characteristics of easy to use, simple operation, will not burn the skin to produce scars. Moxibustion therapy can be fitness, disease prevention and treatment, in China has thousands of years of history. As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, people have begun to use moxibustion method widely, such as “Zhuangzi” there are “Yueren smoked with moxa”, “Mencius” also has “seven years of illness for three years of moxa” record. The medical writings of the past generations abound. Moxibustion can stimulate and improve the body’s immune function and enhance the body’s ability to resist disease. Now introduces several common self-care moxibustion methods, it is fast, easy to operate, relatively free of drug injury worries, the reader may wish to try.
