Every solar term, there is moxibustion.

On the solstice of summer, heaven and earth are born in yin, "Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter". The ancients used moxibustion to keep fit and prevent diseases during festivals. Three-day sticking and summer solstice moxibustion are the best methods to treat winter diseases in summer. This paper introduces summer solstice moxibustion, which conforms to the laws of nature and keeps healthy for a long time.

? In TCM health preservation, people should conform to the natural order, and people's life changes according to the ups and downs of yin and yang in nature. Therefore, the transition of solar terms or four seasons in TCM health preservation is also the period with the greatest impact on human body, and the prognosis and evolution of diseases are the most prominent. Clinically, when the qi of Yin and Yang changes dramatically in the four seasons, it is also a period when the condition of the elderly and infirm is aggravated, causing persistent diseases or prone to new diseases.

For example, in summer solstice and winter solstice, the incidence of stroke, ulcer and asthma is high. If we can apply some simple methods to help healthy qi and stimulate the body's potential adaptability or resilience at this critical moment, it will help prevent diseases and protect health. According to "Su Wen Four Qi Tunes the Spirit", later generations said: "Nourish Yang in spring and summer and Yin in autumn and winter, so as to follow its roots." The principle of "winter disease is treated in summer, winter disease is treated in summer" is established, which embodies the prevention and control principle of yin and yang first, strengthening the foundation and strengthening the foundation at a specific time. In a certain sense, it is to conform to the changing law of yin and yang in nature and mobilize the potential of the body to cope with the environment and resist diseases to the maximum extent. Ancient doctors in China invented many effective, simple and economical prevention and treatment methods, and "Sun Moxibustion" was one of the unique methods that came into being. Solar moxibustion can get twice the result with half the effort.

When it is cloudy from summer to Sunday, it is the time when the sun is strong. Therefore, heavy moxibustion in summer will be much more painful than in winter, but the curative effect will be better than in winter, because the strong yang and the firepower of wormwood are equivalent to killing the chicken with one knife. Therefore, the treatment should be around the summer solstice, and the tonic should be around the winter solstice (so-called "winter solstice tonic"). But it is not static. For more serious patients, it is necessary to treat them at the same time, in order not to delay the illness.

First, summer solstice moxibustion Shenque

Yang Ming's masterpiece of acupuncture and moxibustion in Jizhou has the treatment method of steaming umbilicus: summer solstice is unitary, winter solstice is Yin Shi ... The four seasons are in harmony with vital qi, and everything in the world is blessed with moxibustion.

This is Shenque health! Don't forget: You Shi.

Alias of Shenque: navel, vital root, Qihe (house), Huangu, maintenance meeting, health door.

Explanation: God, spirit; Que, originally meant gatehouse and archway. Shenque means the gateway to the air. "Li Zheng Massage Essentials": "The navel is connected with the five internal organs, which is the door for qi to enter and exit, so it is called Shenque." Acupoints are located in the umbilical fossa, so they are also called "navel", "lifeblood" and "life gate".

Source: acupuncture classics.

Location: the center of umbilical fossa in the middle of abdomen.

Acupuncture A-B classic: "In the navel, Shenque point is also."

Acupuncture: generally, acupuncture is not needed, but moxibustion (salt-separated moxibustion 5 ~ 10, moxa stick warm moxibustion 15 ~ 20 minutes), application or acupoint irradiation.

For example, the method of salt-separated moxibustion can treat collapse by returning yang to save the inverse;

Treating abdominal cold pain can be done by hot ironing or moxa stick moxibustion.

Cupping can be used to treat chronic diarrhea or urticaria;

For night sweats or nervous vomiting, gallnut powder can be applied;

To prevent carsickness, you can stick it on a plaster, such as Gui Xiang Huoxue Ointment.

If you put the medicine powder in the navel and moxibustion on it, it is called navel fumigation (steaming navel and refining navel), and the medicine used can be different according to the condition. If acupuncture is needed, the umbilicus fossa should be cleaned, and after strict disinfection, 1 ~ 1.5 inch should be pricked; Those with umbilical fistula and umbilical hernia are forbidden to puncture. Or by, water, gas sea needle into the Shenque after infiltration.

Second, twenty-four solar moxibustion: summer solstice solar moxibustion

The summer solstice is the solar term, the most prosperous time of the year, and the best time for the human body to lock the sun and drive out the cold. Moxibustion from summer to morning can quickly dispel the cold and dampness in the body and supplement the vitality of the human body, which is suitable for people with fatigue, deficiency-cold constitution and sub-health.

Moxibustion points: Du Meridian, Dazhui, Zhiyang and Mingmen; Ren mai: Zhongshan, Guanyuan, Shenque and Juque.

Moxibustion time selection: one yuan time; Moxibustion at each acupoint lasts for 20-30 minutes.

Precautions: Please drink light salt and warm water before moxibustion. Prevent excessive sweating during moxibustion and cause collapse. Close your eyes and rest after moxibustion 15 minutes. Don't get up at once. Don't moxibustion in an air-conditioned room.

Suitable for people: friends with joint strain, cervical pain, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar hyperosteogeny, etc. This festival is the best time.

For people with high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, high temperature should be cautious. It's better to go easy on this solar term, and don't be blind. But friends with moxibustion hobbies. Don't want to miss this festival, you can choose Shenque point for moxibustion. Shenque point is located in the center of navel, which has the effect of "going up to the mud pill and down to the spring". Moxibustion lasts about 20 minutes.

Third, the health care function of sun moxibustion in summer solstice

Appointment of solar moxibustion in summer solstice:

Jiang Yun Town Health Center: 13878264966

Every year from summer to around, 15 days is suitable for summer to solar terms. The health care function of solar terms conditioning in summer solstice on human body is mainly realized through the following ways:

1, the first is to strengthen the body and eliminate evil.

Patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as physical weakness, allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema for a long time are often prone to get sick in winter. This is because these patients usually lack vital qi, and when the temperature is low in winter and the pathogenic factors are strong, the vital qi in the body is not enough to fight against the pathogenic factors. Therefore, it is advisable to treat symptoms in winter and relieve symptoms as much as possible. Summer is a good time to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil spirits. At this time, there are few climatic factors affecting the onset, and the symptoms are relatively mild. At this time, strengthening the body's resistance and consolidating the foundation can improve the body's immune ability and better penetrate evil spirits.

2, the second is to nourish the spleen and stomach.

Spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of human body. The digestive function of human body is directly related to the energy supply of human body. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and dampness is the easiest to trap the spleen and affect our digestive function. Supplementing the spleen and stomach in summer can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and keep us away from abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In summer, yang is floating outside, overeating and cold can also cause many digestive system problems, such as stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., so it is particularly important to protect the spleen and stomach in summer.

3. Thirdly, it is to help yang to dispel cold.

In winter, in addition to the high incidence of respiratory diseases, the incidence of another kind of diseases can not be underestimated, that is, yang deficiency syndrome and neck, shoulder, back and leg pain. Like respiratory diseases, when the cold is strong in winter, people feel the diseases caused by cold pathogens, which cannot be fundamentally eliminated in winter. Only in midsummer, when the human body is full of yang, can we better dispel the cold evil in the body. Acupuncture during the summer solstice is a good way to stimulate menstruation and prevent diseases.

Fourth, health precautions in summer

According to the concept of keeping in good health in China's ancient medicine Neijing, we know that in summer, the yang in our body is a lot of hair, which is mostly in a state of external heat and internal deficiency, with upper heat and lower cold, so we know how to keep in good health:

1 First of all, eat as little as possible, and it is best not to eat;

2. Keep warm when entering the air-conditioned room with air conditioning. There is no need to use less or no air conditioning fans. Try to make the human body conform to the natural state of exuberant hair growth in summer, and also sweat properly to expel cold and damp pathogens in the body;

3. Beware of colds, especially those who are weak in constitution due to deficiency of cold and dampness, those who are prone to fatigue due to deficiency of both qi and blood, those who are prone to colds, those who are afraid of cold in their hands and feet, and those with nasal sensitivity, rhinitis and asthma.

Five, dialectical point selection, sun moxibustion spleen and kidney.

Moxibustion is mainly based on two innate and fundamental acupoints, namely, invigorating the spleen and tonifying the kidney, and can adhere to eight acupoints of disease-free and longevity moxibustion, among which the acupoints of tonifying the kidney can be appropriately moxibustion, such as Guanyuan, Qihai, Yongquan and Shenque (the moxibustion with fried salt is better). Sun Simiao's "Thousands of Jin Fang Yao" in the Tang Dynasty said: "Treating juvenile rooms with excessive shortness of breath (excessive sexual intercourse and physical weakness after kidney injury), salt moxibustion is strong in umbilical holes" (about the top 14, the size and number of moxa cones are subject to their physique and resistance to moxa fire);

You can also add moxibustion at Mingmen, Bajiao, Shenshu, Zhubin, Taixi and Sanyinjiao.

People with spleen deficiency still need moxibustion at Zhongwan and Zusanli;

Moxibustion at Baihui, Dazhui, Body Column and plaster points on the upper back is very effective for people who are prone to qi deficiency and fatigue.

Ear point moxibustion and sitting moxibustion are also good moxibustion methods for nourishing yang, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness.

Everyone should choose suitable acupoints for moxibustion according to their own physique.

Sixth, moxibustion according to the solar terms.

The highest state of TCM health care is the unity of man and nature, which means that people's health care should conform to heaven. Season refers to the change of season and time series. Because the time series is divided into fifteen sections, it is also called solar terms. There are 24 solar terms in a year. Moxibustion at Guanyuan point in Shenque is especially beneficial when people pay for solar terms (vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, winter solstice and summer solstice are more important in a year).

Every year, moxibustion is applied from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, and from the first day to the fifth day of May, which can fragrant ward off evil spirits, nourish the heart and sleep peacefully, calm the heart and eliminate evil spirits, and collect good luck. The climate characteristics of spring temperature, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter are: "more sunshine in spring and summer and less yin, stronger sunshine in autumn and winter." ("Su Wen Jue Lun").

It can be seen that nature has its own law of yin and yang change.

"Festival moxibustion" is often accompanied by beneficial and strong acupoints, such as Guanyuan, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Dazhui.

Generally, according to the nature of the disease and the patient's physique, it is applied when the changes of yin and yang are obvious in nature, such as vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice, winter solstice and so on. Moxibustion is mostly mild moxa stick moxibustion or moxa cone moxibustion.

"Sun moxibustion" in the spring equinox Quchi prevents eye diseases;

Zusanli "sun moxibustion" at the autumnal equinox can strengthen the spleen and stomach and prevent gastrointestinal diseases;

Around winter, "Sun Moxibustion" in the official garden is a traditional "Sun Moxibustion" method, which is deeply loved by the general public, and helps to prevent stroke, keep the yang healthy, delay aging and enhance physical strength. Generally speaking, as long as "sun moxibustion" is used properly, it can often achieve unexpected prevention and treatment effects.
