The effects and taboos of Leihuozhi

Leihuo moxibustion is a health care method based on meridian theory, using some modern medical methods and pure Chinese herbal preparations. It mainly uses some acupoint treatments, and uses thermal effects to stimulate and dredge the meridians, so that the medicine can reach the corresponding acupoints of the body, thereby improving blood circulation, activating blood circulation, and dredging the meridians. It is a better method of health care.

9 major effects of Leihuo moxibustion

1. Sparrow pecking method: Aim the fire head of the thunder fire moxibustion at the desired moxibustion site, and move it up and down like a chicken pecking at rice or a sparrow pecking at food. It is mostly used on the affected area and acupoints to expel evil spirits.

2. Small rotation method: The fire head is aimed at the part or acupoint to be moxibustioned, and makes fixed small rotations. This method can be used in a clockwise direction and is mostly used for purgation; if the counterclockwise method is used, it is mostly used for tonification.

3. Spiral moxibustion: Aim the fire head at the center of the moxibustion area, and gradually increase it from small to large, until it is as big as a bowl. Repeat the operation method from small to large, and rotate it in a clockwise spiral. It is mostly used for purgation. If it is repeatedly rotated in a counterclockwise spiral, it is mostly used for tonification.

4. Horizontal moxibustion: Beyond the lesion site, the direction of movement is left and right, 1-2 cm away from the skin, mostly used for purgation; 3-5 cm away from the skin, mostly used for tonification

5. Longitudinal moxibustion: Go beyond the lesion site, move the fire head up and down during moxibustion, 1-2cm away from the skin, mostly used for purgation; 3-5cm away from the skin, mostly used for tonification.

6. Oblique moxibustion: Beyond the lesion site, the moxibustion stick moves obliquely, 1-2 cm away from the skin, mostly used for purgation; 3-5 cm away from the skin, mostly used for tonification. It is commonly used in the treatment of various rhinitis diseases. For example: when the Yintang point is moved to the Yingxiang points on both sides of the nose, oblique moxibustion must be used.

7. La-la moxibustion: The doctor uses three fingers of his left hand to press the soft tissue of the trunk and move it outwards from the center line. The thunder and fire moxibustion is 2 cm away from the skin, and the red fire is maintained, and the doctor's hand smokes the patient's skin. In the trunk, the doctor presses the soft tissue of the limbs and moves distally. The Leihuo moxibustion must also be 2cm away from the skin, maintaining the red fire, as the doctor's hands smoke the patient's skin. The pulling distance in each direction should be no less than 10cm each time, and the best number of pulling times is 3-5 times. It is an innovative technique of Leihuojiu.

8. Purge method: If the above tonifying method exceeds half an hour, the dosage will increase, the penetration will deepen, and it will have the effect of purgation, especially the warm moxibustion method that exceeds 1 hour will become a purgation.

9. Array method: Use warm moxibustion bucket: one-hole type, two-hole type, etc. According to the condition of the disease, you can arrange it in horizontal array, vertical array, oblique array, parallel array, T-array, etc.

Precautions for using Leihuo moxibustion

1. When applying moxibustion, the fire head should be kept at a distance from the skin and should never come into contact with the skin to avoid burns.

2. During treatment, keep the heat on and pay attention to the patient's expression at all times, and use the temperature within the patient's tolerance to avoid burns.

3. When acupoint pressing is combined with massage techniques, the therapeutic effect will be better.

4. After treatment, please do not wash immediately, otherwise it will affect the effect.

5. For patients with weak constitution and neurasthenia, the fire should be low during treatment. For patients with mental tension, their worries should be eliminated first. For hungry patients, they should eat or drink some sugar water first.
