Moxibustion therapy has been used for thousands of years, and with the progress of society and the needs of different people, the use of moxibustion therapy has further developed in the form and scope of treatment. The types of moxibustion therapy can be divided into three categories from the perspective of historical inheritance and development: cone moxibustion, moxibustion, and warm moxibustion, each of which has its own characteristics and efficacy, meeting the needs of different people at different times. The moxibustion is the most primitive type of moxibustion method and was most popular in ancient times. It is called moxibustion, moxibustion with skin, moxibustion with flesh, which is a method of applying moxibustion by placing the moxa cone directly on the skin. The method of moxibustion is to use the best moxa cone, pinched into a cone and ignited. The cone can be divided into three types: large, medium and small. The big one is the size of beans, the medium one is the size of S beans, and the small one is the size of wheat grains, all of which are cones with a large tip, easy to place and ignite. The method is divided into four types: hot moxibustion, foam moxibustion, scar moxibustion, and indirect moxibustion, according to the degree of skin irritation after moxibustion. The method is to use small and medium-sized moxa cones on the skin and then ignite them from the upper end of the cone, when about 2/5 of the cone is left and the patient feels hot, then use forceps to hold the cone away and replace it with another cone, generally 3-7 strong, to local skin congestion and redness. The skin is not blistered after moxibustion, or blistered without forming sores, leaving no scar, so it is easy for patients to accept. Zhihe moxibustion is suitable for chronic cold diseases such as asthma, dizziness, chronic diarrhea, wind-cold paralysis and skin warts. However, it should be used carefully for coma, children and patients with sensory paralysis to prevent foaming or burning of the skin. 2. foaming moxibustion: the operation method is to use the wheat grain size of small moxa cone placed on the skin moxibustion, ignited when the patient local appear to have a burning pain, and then continue moxibustion 3 to 5 minutes, at this time the moxibustion part of the skin can be seen S spot, and sweating, after 1 to 2 hours, will be foaming (if long and not hair, available hot comfort, or repeated moxibustion), but do not need to be broken, so that the natural absorption. In general, pigmentation will remain in the moxibustion area in a short period of time, but no scarring will be left. The indications for bubble moxibustion are the same as for scar moxibustion, which is often used for anemia, vertigo, etc., and is more often used by people with weaker constitutions. The most important thing is that it is not only a good idea to use a small moxa cone, but also a medium moxa cone. The patient should take a flat and comfortable position before applying moxibustion (generally the extremities and chest and abdomen are in supine position, the back is in sitting or prone position, because the moxibustion treatment to place the moxa cones and treatment time is long, so the patient’s position on the point and moxibustion relationship is very important), first applied to the moxibustion site with a small amount of petroleum jelly or garlic liquid to increase adhesion and stimulation, and then placed moxa cones (moxa cones required to achieve tight), with the incense wire When burning near the skin and the patient has a burning pain, the hand can be used to pat around the empty space to alleviate the pain, must wait until each strong moxa cone burned out, before removing the ashes, before changing the cone. Each change 1 strong, are coated with petroleum jelly or garlic liquid 1 time, can be 7 to 9 strong moxibustion. After applying moxibustion, eat more nutritious food such as mutton and tofu to promote the normal transmission of moxibustion sores, which will help improve the healing effect. The moxibustion site can be purulent in about 1 week (normal sterile pus, pus color is light, mostly white), after the pus is changed once a day (during the pus of the moxibustion sore, local attention should be paid to clean, to avoid infection), the moxibustion sore about 45 days to heal, may leave a permanent scar. If there is secondary infection (pus color is mostly S green) should be given active treatment. The patient’s consent and cooperation must be obtained before moxibustion because of the scarring that often remains after the application of this method. A large number of clinical data confirm that direct scar moxibustion is indeed effective, and the “Acupuncture and Moxibustion Zishengjing” says: “Where the sore is obtained with moxibustion, the disease will stop, and if the sore does not develop, the disease will not be cured”. It can be seen that the development and non-development of moxibustion sores is closely related to the efficacy, but its burning pain is its drawback, which is not easily accepted by patients, thus affecting the scope of use of these methods. Scar moxibustion is indicated for the treatment of asthma, chronic gastrointestinal disease, epilepsy, scrofula, developmental disorders, and for hypertension to prevent stroke. As far as moxibustion sores are concerned, they are localized tissues that have become septic after burns and have curative health effects. The first is that the skin is not only a source of health problems, but also a source of health problems. This method has four main functions: (1) to protect the skin from burning; (2) to use the role of the spacer itself to enhance the therapeutic effect; (3) to reduce the pain of the patient when applying moxibustion; (4) to play a fixed role for the cone of moxa, and to fill certain depressions. There are many kinds of indirect moxibustion methods, which can play the role of moxibustion and the function of drugs when treating, and thus have special effects, and are widely used for various clinical conditions. The following is a description of several methods commonly used clinically according to the different drugs spaced. The method of moxibustion: the specific operation of this method is to use fresh ginger cut into thin slices of about 2-3 cm in diameter and 0.2-0.3 cm in thickness (before moxibustion can be based on the size of the moxa cone, along the longitudinal ginger fiber cut into slices with a knife, the diameter of the ginger block should be slightly larger than the diameter of the moxa cone. Ginger contains spicy ginger, volatile oil contains gingerol, gingerene, camphorene, watercressene, lobster, citral, eucalyptus oil, etc., has a certain stimulating effect on the skin, can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation. The effect of moxibustion can be enhanced several times after the cone is heated, thus strengthening the effect of moxibustion), the middle with a needle piercing several holes, the upper moxa cone placed on the part to be moxibustion, and then ignited to apply moxibustion, when the moxa cone is burned out, can be easy cone moxibustion again. Generally moxibustion 5-10 strong, to the skin redness and not blistering as degree. In the process of applying moxibustion, if the patient feels the burning heat is unbearable, the ginger piece can be lifted upward or slowly move the ginger piece. This method is widely used clinically for all deficiency cold diseases, and is more effective for vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, spermatorrhea, impotence, premature ejaculation, infertility, dysmenorrhea, facial paralysis and wind-cold damp paralysis. Garlic moxibustion: The specific operation of this method is to select fresh garlic head and cut it into thin slices of 0.2 to 0.3 cm longitudinally along the garlic buds with a knife (there are many types of garlic and, with purple-skinned garlic being the most suitable. Garlic contains volatile oil of allicin and has more mucilaginous liquid, which has a strong stimulating effect on the skin, but after 1 to 2 cones of moxibustion, the temperature can make its stimulating degree decrease. The mucous liquid of garlic can fix the moxa cone firmly on the skin and it is not easy to fall off, so it is an excellent spacer material to fix moxibustion when applying moxibustion on slanted skin), pierce several holes with a needle in the middle, place the moxa cone on the acupuncture point part or the affected area, then ignite and apply moxibustion, wait for the moxa cone to burn out, and then moxibustion with easy cone, generally moxibustion 5 to 7 strong. Because of the irritation of garlic liquid on the skin, local blistering is easy after moxibustion, if you do not want to make it blistering, you can lift the garlic piece upward, or slowly move the garlic piece. In addition, there is still a folk from the big push point to the lumbar Yu point to lay a layer of garlic moxibustion method (also known as long snake moxibustion), that is, 400 to 500 grams of garlic, pounded like mud paste, laid on the spine between the large vertebrae to the lumbar Yu point, 2 cm wide, 0.5 cm thick, surrounded by cotton paper protection, and then in the large vertebrae to the lumbar Yu between each spine depression, moxibustion with S beans large moxa cone, in order to feel the smell of garlic in the mouth and nose as degree. This method is suitable for tuberculosis, lumps in the abdomen, ulcers, snakes, scorpions and poisonous insect bites. The method of moxibustion with salt: the specific operation of this method is to fill the umbilicus with pure and dry table salt (salt is very easy to absorb moisture, 1. holding the moxa The operator pinches the moxa with the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right or left hand, the ring finger is slightly raised upwards, and the wrist is placed next to the point to be moxibuted to apply moxibustion. The posture of holding the moxa can be divided into three types: vertical holding with the fire head vertical, oblique holding with the fire head at an angle of 45 degrees, and horizontal holding with the fire head parallel, according to the direction of the fire head of the moxa stick. In the process of applying moxibustion, the three angles of holding moxa will be changed continuously, so that the moxibustion victim will have a different feeling of warmth, and the moxibustion victim will be relieved of the fatigue of applying moxibustion. The use of moxa stick techniques There are four major techniques in the actual operation of moxa stick moxibustion. (1) rotary moxibustion: the operator will ignite one end of the moxa stick, mental attention, placed at a certain distance from the skin about 3 ~ 4M height, around a fixed point for left and right spiral rotation of the application of moxibustion. It is appropriate to make the person being moxibustion local warmth and no burning pain, generally 10-15 minutes per point, until the skin is flushed. The technique is important: the rotary moxibustion technique should be flat and round, the rotation has a force, the ash should be diligently played, the high is light, the low is heavy, light and heavy combination, there is the efficacy of warming and opening acupuncture points. (2) Mild moxibustion: the operator will ignite one end of the moxa, mental attention, placed on the skin at a certain distance of about 3 to 4M height, fixed at a point to stop moving or slightly twisting and lifting, so that the local warmth or slight burning pain is appropriate. Generally each point moxibustion 10 to 15 minutes, until the skin flushed for degree. The technique is important: gentle moxibustion technique should be stable, do twisting or pulling to feel powerful, moxa ash to play diligently, the high is light, the low is heavy, light and heavy combination, the role of warmth and blood. (3) sparrow pecking moxibustion: the operator will ignite one end of the moxa, mental attention, placed on the skin at a certain distance of about 3 ~ 4M height, an up and down, together with the application of moxibustion, drop with a sense of spray fire, lifting with a sense of lifting. This operation is repeated for about 15-20 minutes, because the method of moxibustion when the heat is strong, so should pay attention to avoid burning the skin. The technique is important: the technique of bird pecking moxibustion is rapid and steady, lifting and pulling with force, the ash should be diligently played, keep the distance, there is the role of stimulating the meridian gas. (4) tail swinging moxibustion: the operator will ignite one end of the moxa stick, mental attention, placed at a certain distance from the skin about 3-4M height, the application of moxibustion will swing the moxa fire left and right, along the application of moxibustion parts for straight or arc movement. The technique is to have a sense of rhythm, and the ash should be played diligently, with the high being light and the low being heavy, with a combination of light and heavy, to guide the qi and blood. *The first of these is the “moxibustion machine”, which is also known as the “moxibustion machine”, a metal cylinder moxibustion device. It has a long history in China, and the oldest moxibustion apparatus was replaced by some kind of object. It is also known as the moxibustion apparatus. The moxibustion apparatus inherits the characteristics of moxibustion method with remarkable curative effect, improves the shortcomings of traditional moxibustion method which is tedious and time-consuming to operate, and also eliminates the patient’s fear of traditional moxibustion method by direct burning on the skin. The characteristics of warm moxibustion device are: simple operation, significant effect, low cost, no toxic side effects, is the traditional green natural treatment, can be suitable for all kinds of people.
