Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of moxibustion therapy technology, specifically a novel moxibustion therapy and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method, has a history of thousands of years. It primarily involves burning moxa sticks or moxa wool made from mugwort to apply heat stimulation to specific acupoints, aiming to regulate the body and prevent and treat diseases. Traditional moxibustion therapy is widely used in folk medicine due to its simplicity, low cost, and minimal side effects, and has shown significant effects in relieving chronic pain, improving blood circulation, and enhancing immunity.

[0003] However, traditional moxibustion therapy also has some limitations and challenges: for example, it increases the risk of skin damage, reduces the safety and comfort of treatment, and patients are prone to burns from the high temperature of the moxibustion stick. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel moxibustion therapy and its application method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel moxibustion therapy and its application method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Prepare the necessary moxibustion tools, including heat insulation cloth, medicated cloth, moxibustion sticks, steel needles, and Chinese medicine;

[0007] Step 2: Use scissors to trim the fireproof cloth and the medicated cloth;

[0008] Step 3: Apply the traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain to the cut fabric, and then stick it to the acupoints to be treated;

[0009] Step 4: Insert the steel needle into the moxibustion column and place the heat insulation cloth on top of the medicated cloth;

[0010] Step 5: Light the moxibustion stick and observe its temperature;

[0011] Step Six: Use a handheld steel needle to perform continuous acupressure on the patient's acupoints;

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: the moxibustion column in step one is a cylindrical moxa stick made of moxa wool, the steel needle is a transparent steel needle with a round tip at the bottom and a length of 15cm to 20cm, and the Chinese medicine is a powder and ointment with the effects of promoting blood circulation, dispelling wind and cold.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: in step two, the scissors cut the heat insulation cloth and the medicated cloth to a size of 10cm*10cm, and the materials can be natural fiber materials such as pure cotton and linen;

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: in step three, the prepared traditional Chinese medicine is evenly applied to the medicated cloth from top to bottom;

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: in step four, the steel needle is inserted vertically from the center of the moxibustion column to ensure stability and prevent tilting. Then, the moxibustion column is placed close to the front end of the steel needle, which is made of stainless steel. The heat insulation cloth is covered on the medicated cloth, and the moxibustion column with the steel needle inserted is placed on it, so that the needle tail is exposed for easy hand operation.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: In step five, while the moxibustion column continues to generate heat, the operator holds the end of the steel needle with one hand and gently supports the heat insulation cloth and medicated cloth covering the patient with the other hand. At the same time, the operator performs gentle and rhythmic pricking movements on the acupoints according to the acupuncture techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, with a frequency of about 60 to 80 times per minute, and the pricking depth is controlled at 2 to 5 mm, with the patient feeling soreness and distension as the ideal depth.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In this invention, by applying Chinese herbal powder and ointment with the effects of promoting blood circulation, dispelling wind and cold to a medicated cloth and applying it to specific acupoints, combined with the warm stimulation of moxibustion sticks, local blood circulation can be enhanced and the absorption of drug components can be promoted, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. At the same time, the use of steel needles with a round bottom tip for point puncture operation reduces the risk of skin damage compared with traditional sharp needles, and improves the safety and comfort of treatment.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the pure yang nature of moxa is warm, and its heat is amplified when it is exposed to fire. It can unblock the twelve meridians, and the heat of moxa can directly reach the blood vessels, so that the flow of qi and blood can be cleared and the meridians can be unblocked. In turn, it can draw the qi and blood of the human body downward and warm the lower abdomen. When a person is young, the qi and blood in the lower abdomen are abundant, thus improving the health of the human body. Attached Figure Description
