Hello, everyone, I'm Laobai, a Chinese medicine doctor. I have dealt with Ai Ye for nearly 20 years. I will share with you what I have seen and heard. Let's talk about moxibustion!
The origin of moxibustion, we must first understand the meaning of fire to human beings. The biggest difference between humans and other animals is "fire". Humans can use fire as a tool, but animals can't.
Modern archaeology found that Yuanmou people in Yunnan started to use fire 6.5438+0.7 million years ago. Lantian people in Shaanxi had traces of fire 654.38+0 million years ago, and Nanzhao ape-man in Nanyang and Zhoukoudian people in Beijing mastered the method of using fire 500,000 years ago.
However, fire is not easy to preserve. In primitive tribes, there have been special people to save the fire for the tribe, using wormwood as the burning material and using special utensils to save the fire!
With fire, human beings can avoid the invasion of wild animals, cook food and resist the harsh climate of cold and cool winter. They can also burn trees with fire and moxibustion in the affected area to drive away cold evil and relieve pain.
Moxibustion originated in the north. Neijing Su Wenyi's Treatise on Law, Prescription and Medicine: "The northerners are secluded in heaven and earth, with high mountains and cold places, and their folk music is wild and foraging, dirty and cold and sickly." Therefore, those who moxibustion ice also come from the north. "
Moxibustion was popular as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Book of Songs in the Spring and Autumn Period said, "I love you after seven years of illness, but I have to love you for three years." Oracle Bone Inscriptions divination in Yin and Shang Dynasties also used moxa as fuel.
From 65438 to 0973, the excavation of No.3 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha, Hunan, China was a major archaeological discovery. Among the unearthed cultural relics, Moxibustion Sutra of Eleven Veins of Foot and Arm and Moxibustion Sutra of Eleven Veins of Yin and Yang are the earliest and most comprehensive works that record the routes of eleven meridians of human body and their diseases. Moreover, the treatments recorded in Moxibustion Classics of Eleven Veins in Foot and Arm and Moxibustion Classics of Eleven Veins in Yin and Yang are all moxibustion.
Moxibustion therapy is the oldest therapy in China. It has a history of more than 2000 years in China, and its therapeutic effect has been confirmed by countless clinical practices.
I use my nearly 20 years' experience to tell you some problems of moxibustion in the later period, please pay attention.
