Chapter 6 Acupuncture

Hearing Lu Wende say to rest, Xu Daozhi picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, it was already half past two in the afternoon, unconsciously, so much time had passed, Xu Daozhi suddenly felt very urgent and said to Lu Wende: "Master, I'm not tired, you can continue to speak!" Lu Wende said angrily after hearing this: "But I'm tired of talking." If you talk too much at once, I'm afraid that you won't be able to digest it, so give you some time, drink some water, let your brain relax and relax, and then you will have better energy to listen to the following content. After speaking, he picked up the teapot and drank the tea. After hearing this, Xu Daozhi sighed, poured a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Half an hour later, Lu Wende put away the teapot. When Xu Daozhi saw it, he hurriedly put down the water cup and sat upright. Lu Wende stood in front of Bai, wrote down the word moxibustion and said: "There are several moxibustion methods, the most common is the moxibustion of the ginger, which is to cut a piece of ginger the size of a one-yuan coin and poke a few holes, and then put moxa wool on the ginger for moxibustion, which is called moxibustion through ginger." There is also a salt moxibustion, which is generally used for diarrhea and diarrhea. Put the fried green salt into the Shenque acupoint, that is, the navel eye, and fill it up. Then put moxa on moxibustion, which is called salt moxibustion, and it has a miraculous effect in treating diarrhea caused by cold. The third is garlic moxibustion, which is used when the cough does not heal for a long time. There is a kind of garlic, one grain is a whole, take such a fresh garlic and then slice it like the ginger moxibustion, prick the hole, put it on the acupuncture point, and then moxibustion. Finally, there is a kind of rice moxibustion. Where there is an abscess or corns, make a little moxa into a rice grain, and then moxibustion. However, people nowadays generally choose Western medicine and surgery to solve this situation, but you still need to know how to deal with such a situation. ”

Xu Daozhi nodded, and then asked, "Then how well does the master have to moxibustion?" Lu Wende nodded and said, "That's a good question." The principle of moxibustion is that you can continue to moxibustion until the symptoms disappear. There is an ancient book that says that moxibustion is a hundred strong acupoints, and everything is cured. This hundred means many, and Zhuang is the unit of moxibustion. ”

As he spoke, he took out the moxa wool from the examination table, and said while demonstrating: "Pour the moxa wool into the palm of your hand, and then roll it into a strip with the two ends wide in the middle, and separate this one from the middle." After taking out half of it, he said to Xu Daozhi: "This is one strong, and mugwort is positive, so when we moxibustion, we also take the yang number, that is, the odd number, one strong, three strong, five strong, and so on." Got it?"

Xu Daozhi nodded, and after expressing his understanding, Lu Wende continued: "After talking about moxibustion, I will talk about some basic common sense of acupuncture. ”

After a pause, Lu Wende said: "We all follow the acupuncture points, so you know the location of this acupuncture point, how to go down? This is a rule, the acupuncture points must be between the tendons and the tendons, between the tendons and the muscles, between the tendons and the bones, between the muscles and the muscles, and absolutely not on the bones or muscles or tendons." ”

Xu Daozhi questioned this: "Master, I see that the dense acupuncture points on the bronze man's body, there must be some of them on the muscles, so what should I do at this time?"

Lu Wende nodded and said: "If you find an acupuncture point, but find that the acupuncture point is on the muscle, then don't rush to the muscle, you have to touch it with your hands, your hand will feel the existence of this gap, and then pull the muscle or tendon and then put the needle." Got it?"

Xu Daozhi nodded to indicate that he knew, but Lu Wende said: "In theory, it will be different from in practice, you have to try it yourself and find a feeling in yourself." Xu Daozhi heard that he wanted to try it on the spot, but was interrupted by Lu Wende and said, "Go back and try again, listen to me now." Xu Daozhi put himself in the right position and sat down.

Lu Wende continued: "After talking about how to get a needle, then I will talk about how to find acupoints, there are many fixed features on people's bodies, such as palms, wrists, ankles, etc. Many medical books have these characteristics as a reference to determine the acupoints, such as a very important acupuncture point three yin, is the intersection of the foot too yin and less yin and yin, his position is in, the inner ankle on the three inches of bone sinking, but people are tall, short, fat and thin, different, if we use the normal market to measure, then this acupuncture point is not the same position on the body, so we use the measurement method of traditional Chinese medicine to define this inch, that is, the same body inch, this inch method from the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" There is a person for each person, so when acupuncture, you should use your own inch to measure. ”

Xu Daozhi nodded abruptly and asked, "Then how does the master use it to define this same inch?"

Lu Wende said: "Bend the middle finger, these two horizontal striped heads, between the point and this point we define one inch, the index finger, the middle finger and the ring finger three fingers together, the first knuckle is two inches, except for the thumb, the four fingers are together, and the second knuckle is three inches." At that time, if you want to give a needle to a patient, you have to take the patient's size. It is also important to note that the measurement method used for the abdomen and chest is different, and it is measured by the equal method. What is the equalization method? It is to take the distance from one point to the other, look at the number of acupuncture points in that section, and then distribute them equally, and this is the equalization method. Remember. Some acupuncture points can't be wrong, and if you make the wrong needle, something will happen. ”

Xu Daozhi nodded to indicate that he understood, and Lu Wende suddenly asked: "Do you know the shape of the human body of the five visceral masters?" Xu Daozhi nodded and returned: "The main skin of the lungs, the main veins of the heart, the main muscles of the spleen, the main tendons of the liver, and the main bones of the kidneys" Lu Wende nodded and said: "We also have deep and shallow needles, if the disease is in the lungs, then we will go a little shallower, if the disease is in the kidneys, then we will go a little deeper to the bones." Another point is that we will be affected by seasonal changes, for example, in spring and summer, we will be slightly shallower, and in autumn and winter, we will be deeper. ”

Xu Daozhi asked with some curiosity: "Is there anything else that the master should pay attention to?" Lu Wende thought for a while after hearing this and said: "Also, the needle on the back should not be pierced with a deep needle, otherwise it will be easy to pierce the internal organs, and something will happen, and although the abdomen does not have this taboo, it cannot be pierced too deeply, and there is also a difference between the fat and the thin." ”

After a pause, Lu Wende said: "Okay, I'll tell you about the basics of acupuncture and moxibustion here, and there are some things I will add to you when I talk to you about the next courses." ”

Xu Daozhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master, I didn't expect that there are so many basic knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion, so it can be speculated that the entire Chinese medicine is really as vast as the sea!" Lu Wende glanced at him after hearing it and said, "What, are you afraid?" Xu Daozhi shook his head after hearing this, and said excitedly: "How can I be afraid, I am excited, the knowledge accumulated over the past five thousand years, I am touching him, learning from him, and turning him into my own use, how can I not be excited!" Lu Wende smiled with satisfaction after hearing it and said: " That's right, with such a gorgeous culture, how can people who love him learn it, so how can they not be excited. I also hope that you can keep this enthusiasm alive all the time. Xu Daozhi nodded and said, "I don't want to disappoint Master!"
