It is the "sweeping monk" in the acupuncture points!
There are many acupuncture points in the human body, such as Zusanli and other health acupoints, which we often use to do health moxibustion, so we are familiar with them. There are also many acupuncture points that we don't use very much, and at first glance they sound very unfamiliar, and we often think that they are insignificant. As everyone knows, among them, there are also many "sweeping monks".
For example, the Wenyu acupoint is the hidden "master" in the acupuncture points.
Wen Yu acupoint, belonging to the hand Yangming large intestine meridian, is located on the forearm, located at the midpoint of the line between Yangxi and Quchi 1 horizontal finger downward.
"Wen" means mild, "slip" means flowing, and "warm" means warm river. The name of the acupuncture point is not just taken casually, but all the acupuncture points with "yang" and "warmth" have the effect of raising the yang and warming, so the warm acupoint can treat cold.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that "the Yin meridian acupoint treats the blood syndrome, and the Yang meridian acupoint treats the pain syndrome", and the Wen Yao acupoint is the acupoint of the large intestine meridian of the hand Yangming, so it is good at treating pain syndrome (mainly cold pain).
"Women's diseases, cold is great", women who are sick because of cold have a lot of diseases, fibroids, cysts, masses, etc., all of which are suitable for moxibustion and warm acupoints.
Taking uterine fibroids as an example, cold and dampness enter the body and form fibroids, so moxibustion is necessary to replenish yang qi and dissolve yin and evil.
Some Chinese medicine experts believe that Wen Yao acupoint is like the licorice that is known as the "national elder" in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the power of multiplication, and is also like the ginger in the dish, which has the effect of warming the body. All over the body, as long as the meridians are blocked by the cold, moxibustion can be used to help warm and circulate.
In the treatment of cold and pain, we use moxibustion to warm the meridians, promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, and qi to dissolve yin and evil.
Cancer is cold. In the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", it was also mentioned that "yin is death", where "yin" is cancer, and "real" is what grows inside.
It should be mentioned that the Wentao acupoint is an acupuncture point that specializes in the treatment of cancer masses, and if you encounter stubborn fibroids and cysts, you must moxibustion this acupuncture point.
In addition to gynecological masses, other pains caused by cold can also be combined with moxibustion on the Wentong acupoint, for example, for headaches, moxibustion can be used to combine the missing acupoints with the Wentao acupoint, which helps to warm the meridians on the head; For another example, if the abdomen is distended and cold, you can use moxibustion Zusanli acupoint with Wenchu acupoint, which helps to warm the abdomen.
As mentioned above, the Wen Yu acupoint can treat cold pain, but this is only half of its power!
Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that "Wen Yu is the main scrofula". Scrofula is commonly known as cervical lymph node tuberculosis.
The initial stage of scrofula
So, how did scrofula come about? It is mostly composed of three cokes, liver, gall bladder, etc., which are condensed by wind, heat, and gas poison, and the liver and kidney are lost in qi and blood, and the void fire moves internally, which can form a scrofula.
Clinically, it is generally divided into two categories: acute and chronic - acute is mostly caused by external wind and heat and internal phlegm poison; Chronic is mostly caused by depression and weakness.
It can be seen that whether it is acute or chronic, it is related to "heat" and "fire", either external wind heat, or qi depression and fire.
In this case, you can also moxibustion to warm the acupoints.
Some people may be puzzled: Didn't I say above, Wen Yu acupoint is the Wenyang acupoint, if it is the disease of heat and heat, isn't it adding fuel to the fire?
That's why we don't understand this acupuncture point thoroughly. Whether it is explained from "warm" or "slippery", it can be seen that the temperature slip acupoint has the effect of two-way regulation, the temperature is between cold and hot, and the temperature can be reconciled if it is too cold and too hot; "Slip" represents water, water is flowing, cool, and can reduce fever (all acupuncture points with "water", such as streams, rivers, rivers, seas, ditches, etc.), moxibustion can accelerate the flow of "water", so that all yang heat flows away with the water.
Wen Yao acupoint belongs to the hand Yang Ming large intestine meridian, what is the route of the large intestine meridian - through the neck, even the throat, therefore, the appearance of cervical lymph node tuberculosis, indicating that the large intestine meridian must have depressed heat, moxibustion Wen Tao acupoint is naturally the most direct way to diarrhea heat in the large intestine meridian.
So, why can Wen Yao acupoint treat sores and carbuncles?
For example: we have all heard of the "road rage", when driving, once there is a traffic jam in front of you, the black pressure of all the vehicles gathers together, and you can't move, everyone immediately complains, long honk, don't car, and there will be disputes. The formation of sores and carbuncles is also caused by "traffic jams", which means that the qi and blood meridians are blocked, causing them to fight internally.
The entire head and face are covered with the Yang Ming Sutra, so the Wen Yao acupoints are facing the Yang heat of the disease of this Sutra, which can help them to expel out as soon as possible. Sores and carbuncles on the entire head and face, such as sores at the corners of the mouth, fat particles, pimples, acne, etc., moxibustion is the fastest in the treatment of warm and slippery points.
