Efficacy of moxibustion on leg pain

Question:

My mother is 79 years old and is recently plagued by leg pain. She has been taking medicines and using plasters but to no avail. 10 days ago I told her to perform moxibustion on the Zusanli point with moxa stick and stop taking medicines. Her pain was gone within a week!

This method is truly amazing. In addition, I am in my 40s and still have acne on my chin and neck. I have been performing moxibustion at the Guanyuan point, and the acne stopped forming within days. This is so cool.

Leg pain

My mother also has skin itching, especially the night after eating meat or fish. May I ask on which acupoints should moxibustion be performed?

She has scar constitution, and is left with scars from an operation. Can moxa sticks be used on her scars?
 

Answer:

Hi. Some people often think moxibustion is mysterious, but it is actually pretty simple. As long as you give it a try, you will experience its magical effect.

This is not me bragging, but friends coming to my blog sharing their experiences and bringing us confidence.

Moxibustion is simple because practically everyone could do it, and most cases is performed locally. For example, your mother suffers from the leg pain. The acupoint for moxibustion is the Zusanli point, as well as the affected area. If it wasn’t any of the serious leg diseases, you would see improvements soon.

As far as scar constitution is concerned, not only can moxibustion be performed at area of the scar, but also the scar would gradually decrease.

For the itchiness, the following acupoints could be chosen: Chize, Xuehai, Dazhui, Feishu, Shenque, Guanyuan, and Zusanli.

Head Sore Gone in Hours by Plaster

Due to uncertainty of TCM, good doctors are hard to come by. The same medicine may be useless for one doctor, but become magical life-saving elixir in the hands of another.

When I was still in high school, a sore boiled on my head in a winter, which was itchy and unbearable. Just as I was ready to go to hospital and have it surgically removed, my dad said: “That’s stupid, why don’t you go to Uncle Lang’s house and ask for a dose of plaster, it will surely work!

Plaster

Worried that the wound may scare other passengers, I covered the wound in the head with one hand, and went to uncle Lang’s house. He was actually not a doctor, but his mother.

There had been generations of TCM doctors in uncle Lang’s family, but it came to a stop at his mother’s generation.

The reason was her father had given birth to 6 daughters in a row, and did want to keep trying.

The traditional idea was that medical skills could be passed to male heirs only, but no female. As an alternative, the Master had to secretly teach each of his daughters one special prescription before she got married. It may not make a fortune, but enough to make ends meet.

Thanks to this prescription, the old lady raised all her children and paid for several decent weddings.

Because the friendship spanning for generations between our families, the lady was quite straightforward with me, and asked: “Do you want to make it quick or slow? There are issues with going fast, and benefits with going slow.

“Of course I want it fast, It hurts like hell, and it’s no fun to keep a wound like this on myhead.”

She further explained said if going slow, a plaster would be applied to slowly pull out the pathogens, leaving behind no boil scars. If fast, it will be gone in the same day, but with the risk of scar.

I still want to get rid of it fast.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am certain.

She took out a green plaster, heated it till soften, and then put on my wound, soon pus and blood started to come out.

On my way home, it made quite a scene on the bus- people looked at me like a monster. I had completely no idea the plaster would work so quickly.

But soon the pain stopped-only a bit itchy, there’s a refreshing feeling in the affected area. Later, there was a boil scar, but very small, and it healed over time.

Legendary Treatment for Diarrhea and Urine Retension

Diarrhea

There was once a patient with serious diarrhea for days. No medicine could help, not even the simpleton’s father. So the simpleton was invited.

He fetched a few corn hearts, crushed them, cooked in soup, and fed the soup to the patient. Miraculously the diarrhea stopped.

His father wondered: “Why did you do this?

The simpleton replied: ” Don’t you see all corks of oil bottles and cans in the village are made of corn heart? If it could plug those, anus would be nothing.

His father sighed happily: “What a magical skill!

Corn hearts

Urine Retension

One day, the simpleton’s father was unable to urinate. He tried a lot of medicines on himself but to no avail, and he had to ask for his son’s opinion.

The simpleton said: “That’s easy.”

He carried his dad on the back and started running; after about two miles they arrived at some reed mashes, and simpleton dashed into it. Soon he was covered all over with muddy water.

Reed Mashes

His father suddenly felt an urge to urinate, and relieved himself even before coming off his son’s back.

The father shook his head and was very confused.

The simpleton said: “Dad, don’t you see that large livestock like donkeys, horses, and mules all dive into the reeds and pee after coming a long journey downhill?

Legendary Treatment for Difficult Delivery

Because of the empirical way of medical practice in TCM, many inconceivable drugs and treatments came into being.

One tale concerns a simpleton whose father was a famous TCM doctor. One day, a woman was having difficult delivery, and someone came for help. It happened that the father was not home, so the simpleton was brought to the lying-in woman as a last resort. After all, his father was a famous doctor, so he must knew something about it.

The simpleton bought a gong on his way and arrived at the woman’s bed.

Gong

He struck the gong three times, and the child was delivered crying out loud.

People exclaimed and said: “What a miracle doctor!” His father was back, heard about it and got very confused, so he asked: “Which school of medicine were you practicing?

The simpleton replied: “Whenever theatrical troupe comes, and as soon as hear the sound of the gong, it’s always the children who run the fastest. This one was no exception.

Special Duel Style and Treatment of Hematemesis

I once heard a veteran TCM doctor talk about curative effect of boy’s urine. He said that in the old days there was a special kind of hooligan, with style similar to ancient swordsmen.

Their method of a duel was very unorthodox: the two parties of the duel would grasp the belt of each other in one hand, hold a wooden mallet in the other, and smash at each other for dear life. The head, face and crotch are forbidden areas.

Wooden Mallet

Whoever starts vomiting blood first will lose; or anyone dodging the mallet, even if slightly.

During the duel, someone would have bowl of boy’s urine on standby, and those who vomited blood would immediately drink it up.

Allegedly this could heal the injury by promoting tissue regeneration, as well as dispersing Qi and stasis, according to TCM theory.

Because of this empirical way of medical practice, many inconceivable drugs and treatments came into being.

Severe Fracture Healed in 3 Months

A good friend of mine fell in the shower and broke his ribs. WM doctors suggested to get plaster cast and a sling, which would take a long time.

He wanted it healed sooner, so went to a local TCM doctor, and it did recuperate within a month. I asked the doctor’s name from him- Dr. Zheng.

Soon enough, my brother-in-law was involved in a fight and broke his pinkie. So I took him to Dr. Zheng, who examined it and said:

It’s no big deal- nothing but bone fracture. If you took my medicine, it will heal in a month.

It did not hurt while the medicine was applied, and within a week the pinkie could move a bit.

In weeks, the pinkie was completely healed and nimble as ever.

Fracture

However, I secretly told my sister-in-law:

Let’s be safe and try stay away from him; he is so arrogant.

Dr. Zheng does not have a medical diploma, and even looks down on those with one. If anyone broke his bones and did not come to see Dr. Zheng first, he would get angry and be reluctant to treat the guy, and even become sarcastic about it:

” I am only a country doctor, I wouldn’t dare to hold you up. Why don’t you still go back to those professors and specialists? 

Unfortunately another 6 months passed and my brother-in-law got drunk and fell into a sewage well. When rescued, he was swollen all the way from the ankle to crotch, and could not walk at all.

When carried to Dr. Zheng’s, my brother-in-law was crying out loud due to severe pain. The doctor checked him, and quoted a price for each leg.

My brother-in-law asked: “Shouldn’t I get a wholesale discount, because it’s two legs instead of one? Can you do better than that?

“Good sport! In such pain and still bargaining! I’ll give you a discount.”

His treatment was to pinch the broken bones together, and apply homemade medicinal mud.

The first ‘ingredient‘ of the mud is to smash a young rooster dead on the ground, then mash it and mix with several other secret recipes.

I asked my in-law how it feet. He said he could clearly feel tightness of his legs, and the blood and veins started roaming at night.

In about 6 weeks he could inch forward with support of his hands.

In 2 months, he started walking.

In 3 months, he could walk fast as ever and started going from one pub to another.

Treatment for Slow Growth

In my hometown, those of small stature during adolescence would go to a TCM doctor.

He would cut up an area in their palm between index and middle finger, and take out some small, yellow stuff similar to chicken gizzards. Then the person would grow taller.

It is pretty effective, many people have tried it and saw good result, including myself- My parents are no more than 5’5″, but I am over 5’9″. But nobody could provide a good explanation.

Later I found a possible explanation online:

Modern medical research believes that acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) acupoint can increase saliva secretion and effect of saliva amylase, and increase content of trypsin, pancreatic amylase, and pancreatic lipase in the intestines, thus enhancing digestive function.

For those with malnutrition and rickets, after acupuncture at the Sifeng acupoint, it was found that content of both serum calcium and phosphorus increased, while alkaline phosphatase activity decreased.

As a result, the product of calcium and phosphorus increased, which helps bone development and growth in children.
