INTRODUCTION

Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for over 3000 years in China, and it is still used to treat different kinds of disorders.

According to TCM, acupuncture is based on the balance between Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy. “Life energy” that is “Qi” flows through channels in our body. Upon stimulation with specific places in the body with the single use of the needle gets the energy to flow, and it becomes better conditions.

Acupuncture is oriental medicine, which has no side effects. Acupuncture may prevent diseases by strengthening the immune system in the body. Acupuncture is done by inserting thin disposable needles into specific points relating to the internal organs. In this way the body is activated with flow of Qi (energy).

In Therapeutics of acupuncture, acupuncture points are the places where acupuncture needle is applied for the treatment of diseases. This acupuncture point location and the therapeutic result are related.

In the treatment of disease by acupuncture and moxibustion, the equipment is simple, but it shows effective result.

Points were used by Moxibustion about 1700.

CHARPTER 1 Acupuncture and Moxibustion

1. What is Acupuncture and Moxibustion?

Acupuncture and Moxibustion are two different of methods therapy. Acupuncture treatment is by puncturing certain points with metal needles on skin surface, and Moxibustion treatment is the application of heat produced by moxa-wool made from dry herbs over the points on the skin surface.

Even though materials for treatment are used in the two methods of different ways, therapeutic and preventive results are similarly achieved.

By those methods, Qi and Blood will be stimulated in the channels, and it achieves prevention and treatment of diseases.

Acupuncture and Moxibustion are often used at the same time for effectiveness for treatment in clinic, therefore it is called Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

2. Introduction of Acupuncture Points

Acupuncture points are the places where acupuncture needle is applied for the treatment of diseases.

Acupuncture points are related to Qi of the Zang-fu organs and meridians is transported to the body surface.

Acupuncture point is writtenas in Chinese word “Shuxue, 腧穴”, and these Chinese characters mean respectively transport and hole.

Acupuncture points are not only the pathways for the circulation of Qi and Blood, but also response to diseases.

The locations of Acupuncture points are certainly related to physiological functions. Stimulating Acupuncture points in meridians of the affected area may be effective for each disease to approach the affected area.

To strengthen body resistance to prevent and treat diseases, proper techniques in Acupuncture and Moxibustion treatment are required.

3. Moxibustion

Moxibustion treats and prevents diseases by applying heat to points or certain locations of the human body. The material used is mainly moxa-wool in the form of a long stick or a small cone.

Moxa-wool is made of dry mugwort leaves. Moxa has the properties of warming, removing obstruction in the meridians, and eliminating Cold and Damp, thus promoting to the normal function of the organs.

There are three methods of application which are used with Moxa Cones, Moxa Sticks, and warming needles, respectively.

1. With Moxa Cone

(1) Direct Moxibustion

Moxa cone is placed directly on the point. This method may lead to a local burn, blister, festering etc. If the patient feels a burning discomfort, remove the cone and place another one.

(2) Indirect Moxibustion

• Moxibustion with Ginger

Cut a slice of ginger about 0.5 cm thick and make some holes in it. Moxa cone is placed on top of this Ginger and the moxa cone is ignited.

This method relieves pain caused by Stomach and Spleen weakness such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, joint pain due to Yang deficiency.

• Moxibustion with Garlic

Cut a slice of garlic about 0.5 cm thick and make some holes in it. Moxa cone is placed on top of this garlic and the moxa cone is ignited.

• Moxibustion with Salt

This method is normally applied at the umbilicus REN-8 (Shenque 神阙). Apply salt to the level of the skin at the umbilicus, and place moxa cone on top of the salt, and then ignite it.

This method treats for abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. This is to restore Yang from collapse.

2. With Moxa Sticks

(1) Mild-Warm Moxibustion

Apply an ignited moxa stick over the point of skin for about fifteen minutes until the local area become light red colour.

(2) Moxibustion on the needle area

Moxibustion is applied on the point where the needle stands. This functions to warm the meridians and promote the free flow of Qi and Blood.

(3) Moxibustion with warming needle

This is the method of acupuncture combined with moxibustion. This method functions to warm the meridians and promote the free flow of Qi and Blood to treat joints, numbness caused by Cold-Damp.
