How to do Qingming moxibustion? Teach you three moxibustion methods.

"It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival". The weather is getting warmer, cold and hot, the rain is increasing, and the humidity is gradually increasing. Moxibustion is a good way to dispel cold and dampness. Then let Lao Huangli teach you how to do Qingming Moxibustion. Several common moxibustion methods are for your reference, but it should be noted that before moxibustion, it needs to be recognized by professional Chinese medicine practitioners and carried out under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Moxibustion in Tomb-Sweeping Day is helpful to dispel cold and dampness, dredge meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, and achieve the effect of disease prevention and health care. Under normal circumstances, the meridian commonly used in Qingming moxibustion is Ren meridian, and Dazhui point and Mingmen point on the Du meridian are often selected to pass Yang. Shenque point and Guanyuan point are often selected on ren meridian to supplement human vitality. Choose Zusanli, the lower limb, to nourish the spleen and stomach.

Moxibustion at Hegu point can dispel wind and cold, and treat head and face diseases. Moxibustion at Geba and Xue Hai points can prevent colds and skin diseases. When operating mild moxibustion, light the moxa stick, facing the acupoint, with a distance of about 10 cm. Be careful not to burn. The moxibustion time of each acupoint is 5 ~ 10 minutes, preferably during the day.

Ginger-separated moxibustion

If our bodies are obviously afraid of cold, it means that our bodies are cold. At this time, the best moxibustion method for dispelling cold is ginger moxibustion. Ginger-separated moxibustion, as the name implies, first spreads a piece of fresh ginger on the acupoint, then takes the moxa stick and moxibustion directly against the ginger piece. At this time, not only the medicinal function of Artemisia argyi leaves has the effect of dispelling cold, but also the warming yang effect of ginger. The combination of Ai and Jiang is undoubtedly stronger.

Traditional ginger moxibustion is to put moxa sticks on ginger slices. Direct moxibustion with moxa sticks is more convenient for ordinary people to operate and has good curative effect. The thickness of ginger slices depends on acupuncture points, about 0.2-0.5 cm, and several small holes are pierced with toothpicks in the middle. The time of ginger moxibustion at each acupoint is 5 ~ 10 minute.

Salt-separated moxibustion

If we accidentally feel the pathogenic wind, cold and dampness, leading to severe diarrhea, at this time, a better choice is salt-separated moxibustion. Salt-separated moxibustion refers to filling the navel nest (Shenque point) with pure and dry salt, and then placing moxa cones on it for moxibustion. Before moxibustion, put a thin slice of ginger on the salt in advance to prevent the salt from bursting and scalding the navel. General moxibustion is 3-9 strong. This moxibustion method has the effects of restoring yang, rescuing adverse events and resolving hard mass, and is used for acute diseases.

Du meridian moxibustion

In modern society, the incidence of spinal pain is higher and higher. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the most suitable moxibustion method for spinal diseases is Du meridian moxibustion. The so-called Du Meridian Moxibustion is to spread crushed ginger paste from Dazhui point of Du Meridian to Shu Yao point, and then spread moxa sticks, which looks like a lying Zaocys. Ignite the head of the snake, the body of the snake and the tail of the snake respectively, and it will become a "strong one" when burned, and a "strong three" after continuous moxibustion.

Du meridian is a sea of yang veins, and Du meridian is full of yang. This method can stimulate the body's own yang, and transmit this warmth to the whole body through the meridian system, and restore the body's self-healing ability. Du meridian moxibustion is suitable for various diseases caused by yang deficiency, such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, and can also be applied to people in sub-health state, such as male low back pain, knee weakness, fatigue, frequent micturition and urgency. Female cold hands and feet, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, endocrine disorders, etc.

However, it should be noted that the operation of Du meridian moxibustion is more complicated and can be completed by a specialist in a Chinese medicine hospital.

Moxibustion of Tomb-Sweeping Day should emphasize the balance of Yin and Yang, and people should control the time of moxibustion according to their own physique. Generally, moxibustion does not exceed half an hour during the day. If you accidentally burn your skin during moxibustion, you need to prevent infection. If it is lighter, it can be disinfected with iodophor and then applied with scald cream. If it's serious, you need to go to the hospital.

Moxibustion health care is particularly important, so is diet. During moxibustion, the diet should be light, avoid big fish, big meat and greasy products, and go to bed early and get up early in life. Pay attention to moxibustion, diet and solar terms, which is of great benefit to the body and spirit.

All kinds of moxibustion operations should avoid taboo parts and patients with contraindications, and be carried out by professional Chinese medicine doctors, or be correctly operated under the guidance of doctors after being approved by professional Chinese medicine doctors. If you feel unwell during or after moxibustion, please seek medical advice as soon as possible.
