The role and function of moxibustion on the Du Meridian_The role and function of moxibustion on the Du Meridian

Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to regulating the body, and the first step is to adjust the acupoints. The acupoints must be found correctly to achieve the desired effect, otherwise it is likely to lead to failure. However, many people always cannot find the Du meridian when studying the acupoints of the human body. They don’t know where the Du meridian is, so in the end they realize that they have not really found the acupoints, which leads to the interruption of some treatment effects.

Effects and functions of moxibustion on Du channel

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "When positive energy is inside, evil cannot do anything." Once the positive energy is strong, won't the evil energy just run away with its tail between its legs?

On the midline of the human back, simply put, the distance from the cervical vertebrae to the coccyx, runs through the Du meridian, which controls all the body's yang energy. The ancients called it the "Sea of ​​Yang Meridians". As the name suggests, the pulse is like a vast ocean, gathering the yang energy from the meridians of the whole body, and transporting and distributing this yang energy to the skin and pores on the surface of the whole body, thereby warming the body and resisting external evil.

The Du channel starts at the perineum and runs along the spine, up to Fengfu, into the brain, up to the top of the head, and along the forehead. If the evil invades the Du meridian, the patient will have opisthotonos, stiff neck and back, clenched jaw, headache, convulsions of the limbs, and even coma, fever, white or yellow tongue coating, and a stringy or rapid pulse.

The Du meridian ascends to the brain and meets the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin at the top of the head. It has a close relationship with the liver and kidneys. If the sea of ​​the Du meridian is empty and cannot nourish the brain, and the sea of ​​marrow is insufficient, one will feel dizzy, heavy head, and forgetfulness. The ears are connected to the brain, and insufficient brain marrow will cause tinnitus and deafness. The Du meridian ascends along the spine, and if the Du meridian is weak and the meridians are malnourished, the waist and spine will be sore and weak, and the body will be hunched over.

The Du meridian is responsible for reproduction and is known as the "sea of ​​yang meridians". The Yang Qi of the Du channel is deficient, and its warming and consolidating function is weakened, which will cause chills in the back, erectile dysfunction, cold and thin semen, nocturnal emission, heaviness and cold pain in the lower abdomen in women, infertility caused by uterine cold, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, pale tongue, and weak pulse.

1. Moxibustion on the Du Meridian can treat a variety of diseases

The Du meridian governs the body's Yang energy. As long as the Yang energy is weak, you can find suitable acupoints on the Du meridian for treatment. Modern medicine names include ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar disc herniation, osteoarthritis, sacroiliac arthritis, senile osteoporosis, and femoral head necrosis. He is particularly good at treating ankylosing spondylitis, for which modern medicine has not yet found a good treatment.

The Du channel can connect the meridians throughout the body. Through the comprehensive effect of moxibustion on the Du meridian, all meridians can be stimulated and coordinated, and the meridians can connect internal organs and limbs externally, communicate inside and outside, circulate qi and blood, balance yin and yang, resist pathogenic factors, and adjust deficiency and excess, thereby achieving the purpose of preventive health care.

2. Moxibustion on the Du Meridian for Health and Wellness

In modern society, people's long-term hard work, staying up late, eating too much cold food, and frequent use of air conditioning have greatly consumed the most basic Yang energy needed for human survival.

That is why people feel more and more tired physically, more and more depressed mentally, and have no passion for work... In fact, these are all suggesting that people's bodies are consuming more and more yang energy, and not paying attention to replenishing it will lead to a series of diseases. This is what people often call the "sub-health" state.

There is no targeted treatment for these symptoms in modern medicine. However, physical treatment measures such as moxibustion on the Du meridian can not only improve symptoms, but also play a role in prevention and health care. This is also the health care idea of ​​"preventing disease before it occurs" advocated by modern society.
