Moxibustion (灸, Jiǔ) – Short Description with Ancient References
Moxibustion is a therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves burning dried mugwort (Ai Ye) near acupuncture points to warm the meridians, tonify Qi and Yang, and expel Cold and Dampness.
Ancient References
• In Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) it is stated:
“When acupuncture cannot treat the disease, treat it with moxibustion.”
This shows moxibustion was used especially for cold and deficiency conditions.
•The classical text Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing by Huangfu Mi systematically described moxibustion points, indications, and techniques.
•In Zhen Jiu Da Cheng, Yang Jizhou emphasized preventive moxibustion and recommended regular moxa on Zusanli (ST36) to strengthen health and longevity.
Summary:
Ancient physicians used moxibustion mainly to warm Yang, strengthen Qi, treat cold disorders, and prevent disease. It has been an essential therapeutic method in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. 🔥
