Preface
In the past ten years, with the revival of traditional Chinese medicine, some traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods have been gradually discovered and popularized, scraping, cupping, moxibustion, and stinging therapy have been used by more and more people as health care methods.
The general public's knowledge of moxibustion is basically from two channels: the publicity of the public health media and the health club, and the other is the recommendation of some non-professionals, and the basic argument for moxibustion is that moxibustion can enhance yang qi and expel cold evil.
In recent years, everyone has a cold body, and the concept that all diseases are born from cold has been widely popularized, so it is natural to come to a conclusion that everyone needs moxibustion to prevent and cure diseases, and on this basis, the health care effects of moxibustion are derived. Is that really the case?
In the cold north, there is nothing to do in the winter slack season, drinking tea and eating melon seeds around the stove to pass the time, it is a very comfortable way to raise winter, but some people just can't enjoy such blessings, why? Because the fried melon seeds are easy to get on fire after eating too much, the mouth is dry, and in serious cases, the cough and stool are dry, why is this happening? Because everything that has been fried by the fire has the dry and hot nature of the fire, and at the same time of swallowing the melon seeds, it also brings the dry and hot nature into the body, destroying the balance of dryness and dampness in the human body, so the throat is dry and the mouth is dry.
Children are more likely to have this problem because of their poor ability to regulate their balance. People who like to eat barbecue will also have the experience of getting on the fire, in fact, because the grilled food adds dryness. The ancients found that everything that has been roasted by fire has the property of warmth and dryness, so in traditional Chinese medicine, the method of stir-frying was invented, which can reduce the cold bias of cold herbs through stir-frying, such as the boiled licorice, fried atractylodes, and fried skullcap that we bought in the Chinese medicine store are all concocted medicinal materials.
The nature of mugwort leaves
Artemisia leaves are bitter and warm by nature, decoction has the effect of warming the blood, the smoke after burning adds the power of heat on the basis of warmth, the smoke of mugwort leaves can enter the blood veins and channels, and it has the hot and dry properties in addition to the cold and damp evil in the blood. When the cold and damp evil is removed, the blood will circulate more happily, just like the spring stream is free from the shackles of the severe cold and runs happily all the way to the sea, which sounds beautiful, but it also suggests that it is only suitable for the situation that the cold and dampness in the blood are not clear, and it has no direct effect on the cold and damp evil accumulated in the interstitial tissues in large quantities.
What does this mean? You've seen snow clearers on highways, which can clear snow from the road and clear traffic, but it doesn't work against the snow in the fields. In the human body, the blood circulation is smooth, which can bring more energy to the tissues and help improve the function, so the effect is there, but for severe cold and damp constitution, moxibustion is powerless.
The root of health is the balance mechanism between the five organs, the human body has a deeper cause of cold and dampness, and using burning mugwort leaves to promote blood circulation to clear obstacles is an emergency rather than a cure. Some beauty lovers will find that their bodies are hot and their complexion is ruddy after moxibustion, but in the long run, there will be no fundamental change. Moreover, because the temperature of the hot and dry temperature is also consuming blood, resulting in blood deficiency and blood dryness.
Drugs with the deviation of the five elements only have the effect of adjusting and restoring balance when the five elements of the human body are out of balance, and how much deviation is corrected, just like hitting the steering wheel to adjust the direction when driving, and using it without disease or light medicine will destroy the balance of yin and yang, so any medicine can cure the disease or cause disease. Moxibustion is suitable for cold condensation of blood veins and rejuvenation of yang and relieving adversity, and it cannot be used at the sight of illness, let alone for beauty and weight loss for temporary effects.
The main function of mugwort leaves is to drive away cold, and this cold is positioned as the cold of the blood, and the effect on moisture is a subsidiary role of cold repellent, so the dehumidification effect is very limited. Obesity is caused by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness in the interstitial space, so moxibustion has no effect on the treatment of obesity, if it is effective for a short time, it is because excessive moxibustion boils the blood, and the bulldozer works strongly, which does more harm than good.
Moxibustion is a means of operation that can climb relatives with traditional Chinese medicine, and the operation technique is too easy to master, so it is named the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine health care as a business item by the health club, and is widely circulated among the population by health experts who are not knowledgeable and like to guide others.
Something about Ai Ye
Artemisia leaves are bitter and slightly warm, the nature of the medicine is sour and bitter for yin, and the bitterness and sweetness diverge for yang, from the three focal parts, the lower focus belongs to yin, and the lower focus has a yang that belongs to yang, so mugwort leaves can enter the lower coke to play the role of raising yang, and mugwort leaves are yin medicine, so they must enter the yin and blood of the human body to play the role of generating yang, these two points are combined, then the main combat theater of mugwort leaves is arranged in the area of the uterus, right.
Therefore, the ancients believed that mugwort leaves were the best medicine to warm the uterus, because after it entered the yin blood, it played the role of warming and raising the yang, so the housewife leaked blood and benefited the yin qi. In "Jin Kui Yaolu", mugwort soup is used together with Ejiao, which is a pure yin and blood nourishment, and mugwort leaves are put into the blood to make the blood qi rise, which is a classic combination for the treatment of uterus due to deficiency and cold.
Artemisia leaves we set it as the yang medicine in the yin, in the yin in the yang of the yang, in the human body there is an organ with the characteristics of the yang in the yin, which is based on yin, with yang for the use of this is the vasculature, the blood contained in it is yin, and its flow is yang, and the nature of the mugwort leaves at the same frequency, so the mugwort leaves go through the veins and play a role in the treatment of cold coagulation of blood. Therefore, this scripture is called beneficial to yin. From this physical property, it can be seen that mugwort leaves cannot be used for the disease of yin deficiency, dryness and heat.
Because mugwort leaves have the effect of warming the blood veins through the blood vessels, this characteristic is still retained after combustion, the difference is that after adding fire, the warmth becomes the nature of dryness and heat, and the power of generating yang energy is greatly increased, so for the critical illness of cold condensation, it is impossible to directly moxibustion acupuncture points through the channel of oral administration, so as to achieve the purpose of returning to yang and relieving adversity, which is a first-aid measure. It should be explained that the use of moxibustion and moxibustion acupuncture points also needs to be differentiated, not chaotic moxibustion, otherwise the effect is limited, and it will bring counter-effects.
