Our reporter YiXiaoFeng

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        The ancients cloud: "medicine the sufferer, the needle, must be less than the sticks." So, exactly what s moxibustion originated in? The ancient times literature books in which records? Why can moxibustion play needle, the effect of drugs can't play? Modern medicine is how to reveal the secret healing sticks? With these interesting problems, recently, reporters interviewed the world special Chinese medicine academic society federation routine director, Harbin green spring hospital of traditional Chinese medicine of doctor of vice director of LiGuiLin.

        "As a typical external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the so-called moxibustion, is to use compositae plants mugwort do raw material, YiRong made, in certain points, with different ways of burning, directly or indirectly, with appropriate stimulation, through the meridians of the warm transmission function and achieve treat a disease and the purpose of the health care one way." LiGuiLin introduction, jiu the therapy has a long history, this is the most ancient of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the treatments. According to research, moxibustion therapy produced in the early herbs, acupuncture is concerned, jiu the laws can more before acupuncture. About the origin of moxibustion, although still lack reliable data confirm, but at present most scholars inferred, this therapy appear not later than the primitive society.

        Jiu, "shuo wen jie zi" explain "burning", is the meaning of the burning with fire. LiGuiLin reporters for such a picture the outline: in ancient times, Chinese people in the earth's first, barbecue hunting animals, as well as the process of heating with fire, possibly for the occasional immodesty burns, the result will make other body parts of the pain relief obtained accident or recovered; Many repeated experience, people have come to realize the effect of burning, and actively to burn, burning, smoked, roast method to heal some of the pain, I'm afraid that this is the most primitive jiu the cure.

        And the first of the moxibustion documented, can be traced back to the spring and autumn and the warring states period. In 1973, the hunan changsha miu number three unearthed han from the foot arm 11 pulse by dividing ", "Yin and Yang pulse by 11 sticks", is the first record of can retrieve to healing medical classics sticks. The mentioned all meridians disease and syndrome and heartache, madness, coughing up blood, deaf, LuoLi, Long, choke and trouble disease and syndrome, all can use sticks a law of healing.

        The pre-qin and traditional Chinese medicine is the important form acupuncture period. Produced in the qin and han dynasties of great medicine of the yellow emperor, sticks to heal as an important content of the detailed introduction of the system. The spirit hub · faculties "piece in particular emphasis on" needle don sticks, the appropriate ". Visible moxibustion in treating the status of healing was already more than a law of acupuncture.

        Jin and tang from to, get into our country in the history of acupuncture and moxibustion development of the most important stage. On one hand, jiu therapy monographs appear in large Numbers, many moxibustion books constantly update; On the other hand, medical books moxibustion occupy the weight of the constantly increasing. UN dynasty ge hong "cubits backup nasty party" a large collection of the previous rule at the time and effective and and easy jiu the party, encyclopedia article 109 acupuncture cure, its jiu the party accounted for 94 of the article, visible in clinical application was sticks therapy is very outstanding.

        The Ming and qing dynasties, China's acupuncture and moxibustion medicine from mature gradually to decline, but this one phase is one of the important literatures in the history of acupuncture and moxibustion summary period. If LiaoHongRun mazi the acupuncture integration ", a healing posted sticks in historical materials, classifying arranged. Such as the moxibustion a section, the following are "medical introduction", "cure type of party", "pharmacopoeia and so on many kinds of previous writings. In the inheritance of moxibustion based on it, the Ming and qing dynasties physicians and bold innovation, sprung up article--sticks, thunder fire an anchor back there, too b, peach, an anchor back there SangZhi jiu jiu the branches, medicine and so on the new jiu jiu the spindle treatment method.

        "In the middle of qing dynasty, because of the rulers of the prejudice, acupuncture therapy gradually limited and suppressed." LiGuiLin said that the Kings of the late qing dynasty they believe that, "acupuncture fire in your study the dividing the appropriate". The qing government in too hospitals in the official medical institutions shall be abolished acupuncture, lead to the decline of the acupuncture. But because the moxibustion itself has the "Jane, then, check and cheap", and other advantages, the folk still widely popular, and has the love of the problems plaguing the people, it makes the moxibustion "fire" was preserved.

        Since the founding of the party and the government attaches great importance to the motherland TCM course, make old magic moxibustion "spring breeze blow and life." Especially in recent 20 years, moxibustion prevention and cure of diseases category further expand, prevention and cure diseases increased rapidly, with all kinds of disease prevention and control of moxibustion card has more than more than 300, covering human body each system. At the moment, the moxibustion of the prevention and control of diseases has not only confined to general common disease, also be to try to fight cancer and many kinds of chronic non-communicable disease's treatment, solve a variety of modern medicine for the difficult problem of surrender.

        "The motherland medicine thinks, moxibustion have WenTong meridians, scattered cold, wind collaterals, promoting blood circulation, and go back to help Yang Yang solid off and back stasis and maintaining the health care initiative by multiple effect, etc." This is the traditional Chinese medicine to the understanding of the moxibustion. LiGuiLin told reporters, with modern scientific sticks to the further research on the treatment and its mechanism mainly be locked in the drug characteristics and moxibustion thermal radiation effects and two aspects.

        The major components of the essential oil YiRong is, have a certain volatile, burns can release a lot of heat energy, both antibacterial, sterilization, and through the ai the heat of the fire, the meridian of acu-points produces warm stimulation, achieve the dredging and by the temperature of cold, and foster the effect of scattered, especially suitable for cold empty kind of disease and syndrome.

        Scientific research is proof, moxibustion burning a kind of near infrared, this kind of near infrared is a kind of very effective, and adapt to the body's health and treatment in the physical factors, the radiation spectrum to the human body penetration depth is far infrared ray deeper, can be as much as 10 mm, and with subcutaneous capillary meshwork to more widely parts, easy to be absorbed by human body. Moxibustion produced by the infrared radiation, but also as the body's cells, immune function metabolic activities necessary to provide energy.

        "The modern science and technology progress, and also for the moxibustion inheritance and innovation added many new elements." LiGuiLin doctor said that in addition to the traditional birds peck jiu jiu, whirling, lie between salt jiu jiu aconite, lie between the treatment, people also have developed the "umbilical jiu the joy cure", "Yin and Yang, five season breakthrough moxibustion" wait for a method, the former is through the unique Chinese herbal compound YiZhu, characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine medicine oil, specific medicinal meridians, cooperate with Chinese medicine five lines of music, the treatment of constipation, insomnia, dysmenorrhea, obesity, gynecological inflammation, climacteric syndrome, chronic diseases; The latter will moxibustion and 24 solar terms combined, is received by the temperature, dredging, regulating zang-fu qi, smooth, balancing Yin and Yang curative effect.

        "The disease, a hub of the pain." LiGuiLin evaluation said, believed that relies on the "Jane, then, check and cheap" the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the broad and profound culture essence, old moxibustion in through the thousands of years after the space and time, will in the medical today glow vitality, in order to solve the problem of high cost people provide inexpensive medical treatment method.
