Chapter 365 Moxibustion
The atmosphere in the ward was very good, even Mrs. Feng and the old lady looked at each other with interest, even with a smile on their eyes.
Mr. Feng lives in a single room and is not afraid of affecting the rest of other patients. Moreover, it is morning and Mr. Feng has also slept all night. The lively atmosphere at this time will not make the patient too tired.
The old lady also came to Mr. Feng's ear from time to time and talked to Mr. Feng. The two of them had a low voice and looked at Fang Han from time to time, and their mood also felt much more relieved.
After a while, the nurse came in with the boiled decoction.
Mr. Feng's group of students scrambled to get the medicine at the front, but in the end, a female student in her forties took the initiative. Women, after all, are more delicate, and women do have an advantage in this kind of work about serving patients.
Professor Hu looked at a big bowl of soup and said with some concern: "The teacher is just urinating. If you keep such a big bowl of soup, I wonder if you can bear it?"
Zheng Mingquan next to him also frowned slightly: "Even if this prescription is effective, it will not take a short time to do it. It will take at least several hours to take effect."
"When Mr. Feng drinks the medicine, he can use moxibustion to speed up the absorption of the medicine and the excretion of urine." Fang Han pondered for a moment.
"This method is feasible." Zheng Mingquan nodded quickly.
Dean Sun understood it and hurriedly asked the nurse to prepare moxa sticks.
After Mr. Feng took the medicine, Fang Han personally gave Mr. Feng moxibustion.
Acupuncture and acupuncture are often combined with acupuncture, but in most cases, acupuncture is used more frequently, but moxibustion is used less.
The conventional moxibustion method uses moxa strips, that is, strips made of moxa leaves, ignite them with fire, and roast them on the patient's acupoints.
Moxibustion has two characteristics: one is fever and the other is acupoints. Moxibustion is a very ancient treatment method of the Chinese nation, and it is characterized by safety, convenience and no side effects.
There is a saying in "Introduction to Medicine": If the medicine is not enough, the needle is not enough, the moxibustion must be done.
There is also a saying in "Huangdi Neijing" that "what acupuncture is not done, but what moxibustion is suitable."
In fact, the history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine can be seen from prescriptions, acupuncture, to moxibustion and subsequent various Chinese medicine methods.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a practical medicine produced by the Chinese nation in the process of fighting against diseases. Why is it called practical medicine? It is because when the emergence of traditional Chinese medicine there was no scientific basis or theoretical support.
You should know that diseases were born with the birth of human beings. Take some scientific research results for example. Viruses and bacteria were even before human beings were born.
With the birth of human beings, diseases are accompanied by human beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, but the ancestors never sat and waited for death. Diseases arise. The ancestors of human beings use attempts, deliberately trying some things, and unintentional coincidences.
For example, if someone gets sick, accidentally eats a certain herb, and then gets cured, this herb can treat a certain disease and is recorded.
The prescription was actually born under such attempts and chances.
Many people know the legend of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs not only distinguishes what can be eaten and what is poisonous, but also distinguishes what can cure diseases.
With the development of prescriptions, sometimes some diseases simply take prescriptions without obvious effect or too slow to take effect. At this time, acupuncture occurs, and then moxibustion occurs.
Traditional Chinese medicine can be said to be a medicine summarized by the ancestors of the Chinese nation through countless lives.
The valuable experience accumulated by countless people's lives becomes the initial theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and then it is constantly enriched and improved, and finally forms a medicine that combines experience and practice.
But today, how many people have used the so-called scientific judgment to overturn this medicine summed up with countless lives and blood, denying the achievements of traditional Chinese medicine over thousands of years.
If a person has a soul, I don’t know how many ancestors will pop out of another world and scold unworthy descendants.
The initial moxibustion materials were not limited, including charcoal, branches, and leaf spasms of other plants. After a long incident, moxa sticks eventually became a common material for moxibustion.
Mugwort is a plant of the Asteraceae family. Its perennial herbs may be slightly semi-shusk-like, and the plants have a strong aroma. Mugwort is also a Chinese herb. Both "Shennong Baicao" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" have included and annotated mugwort.
"Bencao" records that mugwort is a Chinese herbal medicine with pure yang properties, which can regulate qi and blood and drive away cold and dampness.
There is also a legend about the origin of Ai. According to legend, there was a famous doctor named Xiao Ai next to King Wu. One day, after he had diarrhea for many days, he fell into a military tent. In order to treat the soldiers who were critical, he came to the hospital with illness, but accidentally tripped by the fire of the weeds that repelled mosquitoes and was burned by the fire. However, when he treated the soldiers, he unexpectedly found that his illness had been cured, but there were several scars on his body. So he had a sudden idea and used the nameless weeds to burn the corresponding position of the patient's body. All the burned soldiers' condition improved. King Wu praised Xiao Ai, but Xiao Ai did not dare to take credit. He replied: "This is the merit of the weeds." King Wu declared that the whole army: "The wild herb is unknown, and now he is named Xiao Ai and Mugwort."
The principle of moxibustion is to warm and burn acupuncture points to achieve the effect of warming and unblocking meridians and dispelling wind and cold.
In traditional Chinese medicine's cognition, the sun is the yang of the sky, and the mugwort is the yang of the earth.
It is also Yang, what is the difference between the Yang of the Heaven and the Yang of the Earth? The Yang of the Heaven is burning and inviolable, and the Yang of the Earth is warm and moist tolerate all things.
There are other reasons why moxa has become the first choice for moxibustion. First, among all plants, its leaf veins are the richest and most detailed. Traditional Chinese medicine says that it uses the form to treat the shape, and it can be imagined that it has the ability to understand the most subtle parts.
Second, the permeability of moxa is far beyond that of other plants. In ancient times, whenever the army went, it cut down the permeability to burn, and then checked in a few miles. If you see a smoke, it proves that there is water underground and then camping. This is enough to show how magical the permeability of moxa is.
This ability to wander along the waterway has evolved into being able to reach meridians. Ancient books say that it can reach the twelve meridians, the three yins, and the internal organs. Many places where medicine cannot reach can be reached by moxibustion, which shows the magic of its function.
In the past, moxa sticks were made in shoddy. Now that the industry is well developed, the moxa sticks used in hospitals are also very beautiful. At first glance, they look like a big cigar.
Fang Han lit moxa sticks and moxibusted the acupoints of Mr. Feng's Qihai, Guanyuan and other places.
The threshold for moxibustion is lower than that for acupuncture, just like the scraping of traditional Chinese medicine. Even people who don’t know much can scrape it twice, and the same is true for moxibustion. As long as you can find the correct acupoints, even outsiders can moxibustion it twice.
Fang Han nodded with a smile.
"Doctor Fang, Director Fang said that you will go to his office immediately when you are back." The young nurse conveyed Director Fang's instructions.
"I understand, thank you Nurse Chen." Fang Han smiled and nodded. A blush appeared on the little nurse's face. She looked at Fang Han's figure walking away with gentle eyes. Then she turned around and scolded a reincarnation not far away: "What are you doing? It's rough...speed point."
The reincarnation was holding a big cardboard box in his arms, with a look of grievance. Wasn’t he waiting for the young nurse to see the handsome guy? Is this also wrong?
