What is moxibustion Why moxibustion can keep sick?
First, the definition of moxibustion
Moxibustion refers to the use of moxa on the surface of the acupuncture points on the burning, hot iron and applicator, by the local moderate thermal stimulation and drug effects, through the meridian conduction, play a moderate blood, righting to prevent the role of anti- An external cure technique.
Second, the mechanism of moxibustion
Moxibustion in China has been more than two thousand years of history, the conditioning effect has been confirmed by numerous clinical practice. And its understanding of the mechanism, is still an unsolved fans. At present, the mechanism of moxibustion is related to the following five aspects.
Local irritation
Moxibustion is a basic part of the body through local warm stimulation to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment of treatment, the mechanism of the first and local warm stimulation. It is this warm stimulation, so that local skin congestion, telangiectasia, enhance local blood circulation and lymph circulation, relieve and eliminate smooth muscle spasm, so that the local skin tissue metabolic capacity to strengthen and promote inflammation, adhesions, exudates, Hematoma and other pathological products dissipate absorption; can also cause the proliferation of cerebral cortex inhibitory substances, reduce the excitability of the nervous system, play a sedative, analgesic effect; while the role of warming can promote drug absorption.
2. Meridian regulation
Meridian theory is an important content of the motherland medicine, but also the theoretical basis of moxibustion. People are a whole, internal organs, limbs bones are coordinated with each other, this mutual coordination relationship, mainly by the meridian of the regulatory role to achieve. Modern research shows that meridian acupoints have three characteristics:
(1) meridian acupoints on the drug with external sensitivity that is the same moxibustion method to choose a certain acupoints and general body surface, its role is significantly different.
(2) Meridian acupoints on the role of drug amplification of the meridian is not a simple body surface travel route, but multi-level, multi-functional, multi-shaped control system. In the acupuncture points on the acupuncture, the impact of its multi-level physiological function, in this cycle of induction process, they produce mutual excitation, mutual synergy, the role of superposition of the results, resulting in a physiological amplification effect.
(3) meridian acupoints on the storage of medicinal acupoints have the role of storage drugs, the physical and chemical effects of drugs for a long time to stay in the acupoints or released to the body, resulting in the overall regulatory role, so that the disease can be recovered.
3. regulate the role of immune function
Many experiments have confirmed that moxibustion has the effect of enhancing immune function. Many of the conditioning effects of moxibustion are also achieved by regulating the immune function of the human body, which has a two-way adjustment of the characteristics, that is, the lower can make it higher, high to make it lower, and in the pathological state, this regulatory role obvious.
4. pharmacological effects of the drug itself
Moxibustion main raw material Ai function, it is worth mentioning. Qing Dynasty Wu Yi-luo in the "Materia Medica from the new", said: "Ai Ye bitter, raw temperature hot, pure Yang of the s*x, can return to the dead of the sun, through twelve, take the three Yin, Wet, warm the uterus, only the blood, the temperature in the open Yu, tune the quail ... ... to Ai fire, through all the disease and disease. "It can be said that left Ai, moxibustion does not exist.
5. Comprehensive role
Moxibustion on the main performance of the human body is a comprehensive role, is a variety of factors affect each other, complement each other, play a common role in conditioning.
