25.01.2022 Chinese healing with Moxibustion- a time-honoured and handy therapy Many of us think of Chinese medicine as being synonymous with acupuncture, but even the Chinese term for acupuncture, Zhen Jiu, literally translates into Acupuncture & Moxibustion In China, acupuncture and moxibustion have been used as routine clinical procedures for thousands of years. Acupuncture involves using fine needles to pierce specific body areas, while moxibustion is the burning of moxa (the l...eaf of the Chinese wormwood tree) to provide a warming effect. Acupuncture and moxibustion are considered complimentary forms of treatment and are commonly used together. They have been widely adopted by the general public for its wide range of applications, good results and convenience of use. Moxibustion is an important part of TCM, which has been already passed on for a long time.Ben Cao Gang Mu ( Compendium of Materia Medica) says , Artemisia leaf can be used in moxibustion to treat lots of illnesses .Bian Que Xin Shu (Bianques summary of Medicial Essentials) states that: Even in health condition regular moxibustion of guanyuan, qihai, mingmen,zhongwan will guarantee one a 100 year lifespan at least ,which explains that the ancient experts applied moxibustion to protect health in practice. Acupuncture bases on the theory of meridians and collaterals which are quite complicated so it must be done by skillful professionals with license. However, moxibustion therapy is easy ,effective, handy, cheap and pain-free.It has been widely used to cure and prevent diseases and popular in beauty /weight losing treatments for thousands years. Moxibustion therapy is easy to operate so people can even do it after simple training.( you can study by yourself from books and clips,so easy and money-saving). See more

Moxibustion can warm Channels and activate Collaterals, promote blood circulation and active energy flow. Moxibustion can reinforce energy flow and prevent diseases The energy flow (Qi) is the governor of the whole body in that the Qi is strong so that the body is strong.It is weak so that the man is ill; it separates from the body so that the man will die. Hen...ce reinforcing Qi is the root of protecting life and strengthening body. Bian Que Xin Shu ( Bianques Summary of Medicial Essentials) records that moxibustion is the best method of reinforcing Qi. Moxa is acrid and warm ( yang )in nature.When combined with fire , the two yang substances will get together and strengthen mutually which can promote yang and reinforce Qi,as a result building up circulation. (Tips: Yin and yang are terms used to describe relative opposite qualities or manifestations of Qi. If yin is form, then yang is function. If yin is material, then yang is immaterial. Yin refers to aspects or manifestations of Qi that are relatively material, substantial, condensing, solid, heavy, descending, cold, moist, cooling, dark, passive and quiescent. Yang refers to aspects or manifestations of Qi that are relatively immaterial, amorphous, expanding, hollow, light, ascending, hot, dry, warming, bright, aggressive, and active.) See more

03.01.2022 Author: Isabella Feng (Toowoomba Chinese Acupuncture Clinic 07-46382885) 1.Why moxibustion can treat diseases ? If you ask me why moxibustion can treat disease, first I will tell you the cause for diseases .In the views of TCM, if the body is healthy ( harmony or balance ) ,it is able to resist the pathogens(agents that produce diseases). Qi is responsible for keeping the body in balance. On the other words, Disharmony and imbalance of Qi will cause varieties of diseases. In ...TCM,there are many factors can cause the disharmony and imbalance of Qi. In the modern society, the main factors that cause diseases are Cold energy and stagnation of Qi. The common diseases caused by cold energy and symptoms Cold energy symptoms too many cold drinks and food Stomach-ache, menstrual period pain and disorder, infertility,headache too much air-conditioning,sleeping in the open-air Joints ache, muscle ache and stiffness,headache Dont wear enough clothes in cold weather Muscle ache and stiffness,menstrual period pain and disorder, infertility 2.How Can I understand Cold energy? And Why it cause many diseases? In TCM, the Cold energy is a a yin pathogen.Cold is an expression of excessive Yin-Qi . If the Cold energy attacks body , our yang-Qi will get depressed. At the same time, our Qi and blood circulation will be blocked by Cold energy. Our Qi and blood prefer to warm environment and they cant go smoothly if they have been blocked by cold energy , resulting in varieties of pains.
