Can acupuncture prevent tumor recurrence? Moxibustion can significantly prevent tumor recurrence! I will start by describing why tumors recur. First, the site is deficient after surgery, and qi and blood tend to be deficient; the second reason for recurrence is because of localized stagnation. Qi stagnation, blood stasis, and phlegm obstruction are required to form a tumor. When there is a tumor locally, after surgery, the place is also relatively weak and prone to qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction, as well as cancerous toxin. In order to prevent postoperative recurrence, moxibustion can be done locally at the surgical opening. One of the functions of moxibustion is to warm and replenish the local qi and blood after surgery; the second is to warm and pass the qi and blood, and the third is that the high temperature can fight against cancer. That is to say, after the surgery, moxibustion can make up for the lack of positive energy; moxibustion has the role of infrared rays, which can penetrate and promote local blood circulation. In addition, moxibustion also has the role of Xin Tong, Xin can disperse, regulate qi, blood. Often the stagnation of qi and blood stasis can cause phlegm obstruction, moxibustion temperature is high, can dissolve qi and dissipate stasis, can eliminate phlegm and dampness. Therefore, in order to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery, we are especially emphasizing moxibustion, which can be used to strengthen the yuan moxa. What acupoints to choose? In fact, there is not a special point, that is, around the site of the surgery or localized points, are commonly used points. Can I scrape and cupping before moxibustion? It is possible to scrape and cupping before moxibustion. However, it is not necessary to do gua sha cupping before moxibustion. The function of scraping Gua Sha is to scrape out the Gua Sha, in fact, just like our Xiao Chai Hu Tang, the role of the outward penetration, the heat of the blood to penetrate out. When treating serious illnesses, there is a method of scraping gua sha, that is, patting gua sha, patting the elbow and knee joints. Not only will the blood heat from the skin out, but also increase the body’s non-specific immunity, so that the granulocytes and macrophages out to improve the body’s immune function. In this regard, we have done clinical observation, simple Gua Sha can be very good to elevate neutrophils. Cupping and gua sha have similar effects, but cupping can target specific points for stimulation. And moxibustion is mainly warm yang tonic qi, warm menstruation, eliminate stasis and dissipate the knot, tonifying the efficacy of qi. The role of the three are different, the indications are also different, so as for moxibustion with gua sha, cupping, how to combine the three treatments or according to the specific situation of each patient to follow the doctor’s advice. Can moxibustion be used every day? There is no strict limit. It has to do with your body type. If there is nothing wrong with one’s body, just for health care, one can moxibe when there is time and not when there is no time. In general, 10-20 minutes of moxibustion is enough for normal people. But for tumor patients, moxibustion should be done every day, so that the strength is enough, and each point should be moxibued for at least half an hour. Because for tumor patients, the strength is strong enough, it will have the effect. Can I moxibe several points at the same time? Yes, it is possible. But as I said before, some people have chest tightness and swelling after moxibustion, which means that moxibustion should be sequential. If the moxibustion before a fire, then there is a need for a sequence, to the epigastric region, the first moxibustion, so that it is not easy to fire and not easy to chest tightness. For example, if you have moxibustion, you need to moxibustion the center of the stomach first; if you have moxibustion, you need to moxibustion the period of the door first. The first 10 minutes of moxibustion is enough. What are the most effective acupuncture points for moxibustion according to the season? For example, spring is coming, spring, the main hair, people are prone to fire, I moxibustion period door; summer, the stomach is easy to catch cold, diarrhea, then moxibustion in the epigastrium and Shen Que; autumn, cold fire closed, the person is easy to body tight, head swelling, because the cold fire closed, the fire can not come out, directly rushed to the door of the brain, the head swells, moxibustion vertebrae, it is said that vertebrae is the confluence of the six yang meridians, yang meridians through the fire out of it! The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have the right amount of money to pay for the services you need, and that you have the right amount of money to pay for the services you need. These are for health maintenance, not for tumor patients. Tumor patients still need to determine the acupuncture points for moxibustion according to their disease and condition. Is it better to apply moxibustion according to the time of meridian flow injection? Meridian flow is a very important point in acupuncture, if the patient knows the time of meridian flow, and moxibustion is applied at this time, then the effect will be better. This can be done according to your personal situation and knowledge of Chinese medicine, and it is not always necessary to follow the meridian flow to moxibustion. Can I do moxibustion at night if I don’t have time during the day? Yes, but moxibustion at night, it has a defect, after doing moxibustion, is to give people to replenish the yang qi, so after doing it, he is not easy to sleepy, yang qi enough, people love to move. Look at the children, we Chinese medicine tube children called “pure yang body”, yang qi is too much, running back and forth, you press him to sleep, he does not sleep; and the elderly, yang qi is not enough, he stayed there, in the countryside, in the winter, a bunch of old men and women sitting in the sunshine sunbathing, the children in the winter is also running around. So, moxibustion is to replenish yang qi, and at night yang qi should be astringent, instead you do moxibustion, yang qi is enough he doesn’t sleep. Moxibustion in the morning, which is helpful for Yang Qi, this is a little better. If you don’t have time in the morning, you can do moxibustion in the afternoon, and if you don’t have time in the afternoon, you can do moxibustion in the evening, but don’t moxibustion for too long, it affects his sleep. Are there any special moxa sticks for oncology patients? We have developed different moxa strips for common and different diseases in oncology department, which are called five god moxa. The moxa strips for elevating white blood cells are called Bai Bai Ai; the moxa strips for replenishing vital energy are called Zhuang Yuan Ai; the moxa strips for treating numbness in the hands and feet are called Ma Ma Ai; the moxa strips for treating cancer pain are called Lixiao Ai; and the moxa strips for treating pleural and abdominal fluid and other malignant effusions are called Lei Zha Ai. So according to different diseases, we add different medicines. For tumor patients, we value the quality of the moxa sticks, that is, the quality of the moxa floss, and a good moxa floss will be a little more effective. If, for example, there is fluid in the brain, it is definitely better to choose the one with added medicine, and the ordinary one for health care is fine. The strength of the moxa stick is very critical, I recommend using thick ones for tumor patients, while thick and thin ones are fine for health care. Can moxibustion of Baihui point be used for glioma with edema? Glioma caused edema, is blocked, can moxibustion, but not all glioma edema can be moxibustion first, some people have a lot of fire, first moxibustion may be uncomfortable, this time you can first in the head with floating needle treatment or in the large vertebrae stabbing blood cupping before moxibustion. Glioma edema can moxibustion Baihui, and the effect is very good. Because the scalp is very thin, moxibustion should be careful not to moxibustion broken. Should brain tumor patients moxiba their feet after moxibustion of the head to draw the fire downward? Honestly, the effect of moxibustion to draw fire downward is very weak. So what to do? If you have a headache or toothache when you do moxibustion of Baihui on the head for a brain tumor, you can moxiba the DaShi point first when you moxiba Baihui, or do blood cupping at the DaShi point. In this way, moxibustion of the head of the fire through the meridian circulation downward, it is not easy to fire. If you don’t do this treatment, it is easy to catch fire. Is there anything I can do about moxibustion if my hands and feet are sore and numb after chemotherapy? The twelve meridians converge in the fingers and toes, which are rich in nerves, but the blood vessels in this area are thin and the circulation is poor, so it is easy to cause stagnation and blockage, so the hands and feet will be numb due to the damage to the nerves during chemotherapy. Moxibustion plays a role in warming, can promote local blood circulation, toxins are easy to metabolize, numbness of the hands and feet can be relieved. Therefore, the use of hemp moxa can smoke these parts of the hands and feet, hands and feet numbness can be quickly improved. If you can add moxibustion Laogong point, the effect will be more obvious.
