Apply Moxibustion for back pain and many other diseases

Moxibustion is a very long-term treatment, often used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Like acupuncture, it is a healing technique that has survived for more than 2,000 years. It is still widely used today, not only in China and Tibet but also in Korea, Japan, Mongolia and especially Vietnam. The recent introduction of modern neuroscience in these countries has led scientists to try to evaluate the mechanisms of these ancient therapies. The current issue of Pain Medicine is announcing such an effort, a neurophysiological study of Moxibustion from the Neuroscience Research Institute in Beijing.

Moxibustion is a technique involving the burning of Mugwort (moxa, Artemisia argyi), a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing on acupuncture points.

Indirect moxibustion

Moxibustion to relieve pain

Moxibustion  therapy is very effective for treating all types of injuries. It is usually done after an acute injury stage, once the heat and swelling have decreased. Apply Moxibustion in combination with acupressure points for back pain, knee arthritis and other joint, muscle and tendon injuries.

It is also an excellent treatment to relieve muscle stiffness and menstrual cramps. For back pain, most experts recommend using Fir moxib with acupuncture. I also found good results when combined with acupressure or cup therapy.

It is used to:
• Reduces swelling, pain and stiffness.
• To remove clogging and obstruction caused by blood and fluid accumulated after injury.
• Warm the injured area when touched (Vata condition and kapha in Ayurveda medicine). This is often seen in chronic injuries, the most painful place in cold or wet weather.

There are many other features of Moxibustion, see more here: Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatments - Healing Power and Its Wide Range

Practice Moxibustion for Lumbar Pain

1. Classification

There are two types of Moxibustion  practice:

• Direct moxibustion
• Indirect moxibustion

1. Direct moxibustionDirect moxibustion: A small, cone-shaped amount of moxa is placed on top of an acupuncture point and burned on the skin. If the moxa is allowed to burn right down to the skin some scarring may occur. Direct moxibustion is a traditional technique considered to be very therapeutic, and nowadays it is very infrequent that the moxa will actually be allowed to burn down to the skin.
2. Indirect moxibustionIndirect moxibustion: This is now accepted as the most popular form of moxibustion in many countries including China. Generally the treatment will involve the practitioner lighting one end of a moxa stick ( dried moxa herbs rolled into a stick shape which is roughly the size of a small cigar) which he/she holds an inch or two away from the skin, near the appropriate acupressure/acupuncture points. Alternatively the moxa sticks can be cut into small lengths of approximately 1 - 3 cms., these are attached to specially designed acupuncture needles and lit before being inserted into the acupuncture points. The heat produced by the burning moxa not only warms the skin but it is drawn through the needle into the channel associated with the acupuncture point.
