Do you want to open the acupuncture point before moxibustion? Do I want to seal the acupuncture point after moxibustion? Answer: Generally not used.
There should be friends who do not know what it means to open and seal the hole. Opening the acupuncture point refers to pressing the place to be moxibustion before moxibustion, and then starting moxibustion, which is said to open the acupuncture point.
Sealing the acupuncture point refers to the place where the moxibustion has been rubbed a few times after moxibustion, and then a few taps, which is said to close the acupuncture point.
We use moxa sticks to hang moxibustion, and there is no need to specially press the moxibustion place before and after moxibustion.
Before general moxibustion, we will first do the technique near the moxibustion place, that is, simple circular moxibustion and fixed-point rotary moxibustion to stimulate menstrual qi.
The process of stimulating the meridian qi is to keep gently calling the mind and telling it that we are going to start moxibustion.
Soon all the spirit qi came over, the meridian qi became more abundant, and the absorption point of Ai Heat became more obvious:
Holding moxa sticks as a technique to stimulate menstrual qi and reveal hot suction spots is obviously much more reliable than pressing a few moxibustions with your hand to "open the hole".
The heart is hot, and the acupuncture points open themselves.
Generally, after moxibustion, you only need to cover the moxibustion with a towel or blanket to keep warm, and the moxibustion person gets up after recovering, the state is good, there is no need to specially seal the acupuncture, and there will be no abnormality.
I have only seen one case of moxibustion so far, and the person who was moxibustion felt very uncomfortable.
This friend, a woman in her thirties, began practicing meditation last year, her body is more sensitive, and she can feel the meridian qi in her body.
After going to the moxibustion hall in June, she always felt that her acupuncture points were not closed, and the sweat seemed to be more than usual, so she found me in desperation and asked me to help her close this acupuncture point.
After I asked her about the situation, I told her to lightly tap her finger on the middle of the body, and the acupuncture point would soon close:
The reason is very simple, people's acupuncture points are the portal of the mind to enter and exit, whether it should be opened or closed, it is the mind that decides.
When you gently put your finger on the acupuncture point that is not closed, give the mind a signal, the mind perceives the existence of this place, and feels that when it should be closed, soon the acupuncture point will be sealed tightly.
As for whether to press or pat, or even just a finger lightly on it, but it is only the form of providing a signal, why cling to it?
According to the scriptures, "The meridian acupoint is the place where the divine qi parades in and out."
If you can fully understand this, you will not be confused about opening and sealing the hole, and the methods of opening and sealing the hole are various, and the effect is also fast.
