The best moxibustion sequence and time, from year, month to day, should be clearly stated.

Moxibustion is a health preserving method sought after by modern people because it is green, natural, safe and has no side effects.

Generally, according to different diseases, Chinese medicine always gives multiple acupoints, so which one should be moxibustion first?

I believe many people don't know it. It's just like taking western medicine before and after meals. The wrong time will affect the absorption of the drug effect.

Similarly, the sequence of moxibustion points, to a certain extent, also plays an important role in the curative effect of moxibustion. Today, let's talk about the sequence of moxibustion!

1. Moxibustion Acupoint Order

Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine", clearly recorded in his book Qian Jin Fang that moxibustion should follow the principles of yang first, yin later, left later, right later and up later.

how do different parts of the human body divide yin and yang?

As a big farming country, ancient ancestors generally lived with their faces facing the loess.

Therefore, TCM ascribes the back and upper body to Yang, and the abdomen and lower body to Yin.

In the theory of Yin and Yang, the head is Yang and the foot is Yin; The left is yang and the right is yin.

Therefore, according to the traditional Chinese medicine theory, the order of moxibustion therapy is generally:

Moxibustion on the upper part first, then moxibustion on the lower part

Moxibustion on the back first, then moxibustion on the abdomen

Moxibustion on the head and body first, then moxibustion on the left side, then moxibustion on the right side

In daily health care moxibustion, it will have a good effect.

Of course, Chinese medicine pays attention to dialectical treatment, and the method of conditioning many diseases is not unique. Generally, the symptoms are relieved first, such as moxibustion at Ashi point and other key points.

2. The best time for moxibustion

According to Neijing coffin, the ancients divided a day into four periods: spring in the morning, summer in the middle of the day, autumn at sunset and winter at midnight.

according to the specific time, it is:

3: am to 9: am is a day of spring, called nikko

9: am to 3: pm is a day of summer, called nikko

3: pm to 9: pm is a day of autumn, called nikko

9: pm to 3: am is a day of winter, called nikko

morning is the yang of nature and human body.

Of course, according to different constitutions and diseases, the time of moxibustion is different. For example, moxibustion can be used at 9-11 am to regulate the spleen and stomach function, moxibustion can be used at 5-7 pm to nourish the kidney, and moxibustion should be used before going to bed for insomnia.

general moxibustion health care is generally: 1-11 am; 2-4 pm is appropriate.

3. From the year, solar moxibustion and moxibustion in summer and winter are the best

1. From the season, moxibustion in summer and winter is the best.

Summer, especially in dog days, is the time when yang is most vigorous in a year. At this time, the human body has the most vigorous yang and vigorous metabolism.

when the sun goes down and the geothermal energy goes up, the qi of heaven and earth meets up and down. At this time, the human body should conform to the order of heaven and raise the sun well.

At this time, moxibustion can not only resist summer heat and dampness, but also reserve yang for autumn and winter, so that there is enough yang in winter to resist yin and cold, improve disease resistance and avoid getting sick all year round.

Winter, especially March 9th, is the coldest time of the year. At this time, the yang is accumulated, the qi and blood are blocked, the skin is dry, and the pores are blocked. At this time, moxibustion can warm the yang, replenish qi and improve resistance.

Therefore, moxibustion every winter, especially on March 9th, can strengthen and consolidate the therapeutic effect of moxibustion in summer.

second, in a year, solar moxibustion has the best effect.

people are born of the qi of heaven and earth, and are inevitably influenced by the qi of heaven and earth. During the solar term, the qi of heaven and earth changes dramatically.

Spring and summer belong to the sun, and the spring temperature is hot in summer, and the warmth is the same. From spring to summer, it changes from rising to floating, and the rising has naturally floated; Autumn and winter are cloudy, autumn is cool and winter is cold, and cold and cold are the same kind. From autumn to winter, it changes from convergence to hiding, and convergence has naturally hidden.

But changing from summer to autumn is different. Summer belongs to Yang and autumn belongs to Yin, and changing from Yang to Yin requires a cardinal.

This cardinal is Yang pivot, which is called Shao Yang, and Shao Yang is a fire. If the internal heat is exerted, it can reverse the upward trend of Yang Qi, from floating to converging.

The same is true for changing from winter to spring. Winter belongs to Yin and spring belongs to Yang, and changing from Yin to Yang also requires a cardinal.

This cardinal is the Yin pivot, which is called Shao Yin, and Shao Yin is the monarch fire. When the internal heat is exerted, the situation of Yang qi closing up can be reversed, and it will change from storing to ascending.

Therefore, there are two cardinals in the human body, one is shaoyang and the other is shaoyin, and both cardinals belong to fire.

people take fire as the cardinal, because human life is a group of sun be the spirit.

people's life originates from the sun, and the sun is a fire, so is people, and they stand on fire.

the yin and yang changes of life need firepower as a cardinal.

There are ups and downs of Yin and Yang in nature, with Yang rising and Yin falling, rising and falling, and falling and rising, so the second solstice (summer solstice and winter solstice) is a big node; Ascending and descending balance, yin and yang are equal, and dichotomy (vernal equinox and autumnal equinox) is also an important node; There are four more (beginning of spring, long summer, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter), which are also big nodes.

the change of six qi also has six nodes, including severe cold, vernal equinox, xiaoman, severe summer heat, autumnal equinox and light snow.

These are relatively large nodes, and they are also the time when cardinals are needed most.

During the solar term, people's popularity also changes dramatically, so that people with physical weakness are prone to get sick, or even get worse or relapse.

if you want to pass smoothly, you need to use fire to pivot.

Moxibustion uses pure Yang fire, so the week around 24 solar terms is a good day to use moxibustion to prevent and adjust diseases, which should not be missed.

It is suggested that during the solar term, you should use energy-balanced moxibustion, that is, moxibustion at Zhongwan, Shenque and Guanyuan points for health preservation, which has the functions of reducing yin and turbid qi, supporting yang and consolidating the foundation.

1. zhongwan point in moxibustion

In the function, wrist point is born of Taiyin of hand, Shaoyang of hand and Yangming of foot, and it is a point where the pulse meets.

it can regulate all diseases of internal organs (stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, large intestine and small intestine), especially stomach diseases, and has the effects of invigorating the spleen, eliminating dampness, dredging the middle-jiao qi, and invigorating the middle-jiao qi.

The stomach is a sea of internal organs, so the saying goes, "Those who get stomach qi will live, and those who lose stomach qi will die."

All patients should first harmonize stomach qi, and if stomach qi is harmonized, the grain qi will be healthy. Therefore, acupoints are important points for health care.

The midriff is located on the anterolateral midline of human upper abdomen, 4 inches above the umbilicus.

moxibustion for 1-15 minutes.

2. Moxibustion at Shenque Point

Shenque Point is the most secret and key point in human life, and it is a big point for longevity.

is an important acupoint along the ren meridian in front of the human body, and it is the gateway for people's air to come in and out.

Moxibustion at Shenque can regulate the symptoms of physical weakness and weakness.

Shenque point is located in the middle of abdomen and the center of umbilicus.

moxibustion for 1-15 minutes.

3. Moxibustion on Guanyuan Point

Guanyuan Point is a big point to enhance vitality where Zhenyang lives and generates essence.

Moxibustion on Guanyuan can make the clear yang rise, the turbid yin fall, the Yuanyang warm, the blood full, nourish the kidney, strengthen the foundation, replenish qi and restore yang, regulate and urge ren, regulate qi and promote blood circulation.

Guanyuan point is located on the midline of the lower abdomen, 3 inches below the umbilicus.

moxibustion for 1-15 minutes.

4. From every month, it is best to have moxibustion on the eighth day of the first month

The eighth day of the first month is the eight days when the sun rises, from the new moon to the eyebrow moon, and then to the first quarter moon.

when the moon is new, the moon phase has not yet come out, but the sun has moved, which is not comparable to the end of the dark month.

it is the end of yang, and this is the beginning of yang.

although it's not obvious, its male machine is completely different.

at this time, you can match it with Kun hexagrams, but it is the end of Kun and the beginning of Yang movement.

when the eyebrow is on the moon, the yang will begin to rise, and the moon phase will be bright, so it is matched with the divination of the yang.

at this time, it is necessary to help yang to promote the rise of yang.

The first quarter moon, that is, the eighth day of the lunar calendar, is half dark and half bright, and the yin and yang are equal. However, although the moon is bright at that time, it is still deficient, so it is matched with the yin divination of the yin and yang.

from the perspective of yin and yang, the divination is not only the half of yin and yang, but also the symbol of the prosperity of yang, which is the understanding of the acquired gossip.

Therefore, from Kun to Li, it is the time when Shaoyang begins to rise. During this period, it happens to be the first day to the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and moxibustion is the best in one month.

5. From every day, it is best to moxibustion around noon

It is worth noting that after 11 pm, unless it is an emergency, you can't moxibustion any more.

11: -1: noon is noon, which is the time when the heart works. The heart belongs to fire in the five elements. As the ancients said, it is not suitable for moxibustion at noon. If moxibustion is carried out at noon, it will easily cause excessive internal heat.

moxibustion health care in a day is generally: 1-11 am; 2-4 pm is the best.

Of course, according to different constitutions and diseases, the time of moxibustion is different.

This is closely related to the running time of the twelve meridians. Now, a day and night is 24 hours, while in ancient times it was 12 hours. These 12 hours were dominated by the twelve meridians respectively, that is to say, one meridian mainly works and plays a major role in the body at each time.

12 hours are: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Zi is 11: p.m.-1: a.m., Ugly is 1: a.m.-3: a.m., Yin is 3-5: p.m., and Mao is 5: p.m.

when I was a child, I worked on the gallbladder meridian, when I was ugly, I worked on the liver meridian, when I was young, I worked on the lung meridian, when I was young, I worked on the stomach meridian, when I was young, I worked on the heart meridian, when I was young, I worked on the bladder meridian, when I was young, I worked on the kidney meridian, when I was young, I worked on the pericardium meridian, and when I was young, I worked on the triple energizer meridian.

For example, if there is another problem here, and the lungs are not good, you can't get up in the middle of the night and get up for moxibustion. At this time, you need to use the relationship between the two meridians on the outside or the two meridians with the same name.

For example, the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian are a pair of exterior-interior meridians, just like the relationship between husband and wife, but the large intestine meridian works from 5 am to 7 am, which is not suitable for moxibustion.

The lung meridian is the hand Taiyin meridian, the foot Taiyin meridian is the spleen meridian, and the lung meridian and the spleen meridian have the same name. Just like the brotherly relationship, the spleen meridian works from 9: to 11: in the morning. At this time, moxibustion is effective in treating problems related to the lung.

The lung belongs to gold in the five elements. According to the principle that the five elements generate gold while the gold generates water, according to the principle of "deficiency can replenish its mother, but actually diarrhea its son", if the lung is really hot, moxibustion can be performed at 5-7 pm when the kidney meridian is working, because the kidney belongs to water.

everything else is the same principle, so you can draw inferences from one instance to another.

Actually, there is no question of whether moxibustion is better in the morning or at night. The key is to see what problem you solve.

6. Precautions for moxibustion

1. Extreme fatigue, hunger, satiety, drunkenness, sweating and emotional instability are not suitable for moxibustion

2. Some infectious diseases, high fever, coma, convulsions, or extreme physical exhaustion, thin bones and standing upright are not suitable for moxibustion.

3. Don't drink cold water and eat cold rice during moxibustion, which is like removing fire from moxibustion, which is not conducive to the treatment of diseases.

4. It is best to drink a cup of warm water before moxibustion, which is higher than the body temperature. After moxibustion, it is best to add a cup of hot water about 6 degrees, and it is advisable to burn your mouth a little.

5. If you wash your hands immediately after moxibustion, I hope you can use hot water, which is about 5 degrees higher than your body temperature.

If it is not rheumatic diseases, cold diseases and postpartum wind diseases, you can wear cold water 3 minutes after moxibustion, but in principle, don't rush to use cold water.

6. Take a bath 2-3 minutes after moxibustion. At this time, the meridians are basically in a state of dressing after moxibustion, and the heat after moxibustion is gradually volatilized and utilized. At this time, taking a bath with hot water will feel very comfortable.

Moxibustion Tips: Preventing Dizzy Moxibustion

Although Dizzy Moxibustion is rare, once Dizzy Moxibustion occurs, dizziness, dizziness, nausea, pallor, palpitation, sweating, etc. may even occur.

After the occurrence of dizzy moxibustion, stop moxibustion immediately, lie down and lie still, and then add moxibustion at Zusanli for about 1 minutes.
