Netizens asked:
Teacher Liu, it's too painful, suffering from gout, it's really uncomfortable, is there a good moxibustion acupuncture point recommendation, even if it can be relieved, especially the upper limb joints are very painful, usually the appetite is not very good, the face is sallow, and the stool is still a little sticky.
This is a question that a netizen asked me on WeChat.
Gout belongs to the category of "paralysis" in traditional Chinese medicine, and modern medicine believes that gout is a purine metabolism disorder, which causes excessive production of uric acid, but the body cannot excrete it, so it will accumulate in the cartilage and kidneys of the body, resulting in pain.
Therefore, if you have gout problems, you can use moxibustion**, and the effect of insisting on moxibustion is very good.
Moxibustion is the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, so from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many factors that cause gout
1) The spleen and stomach are not good, resulting in the subtle weakness of Yunhua Water Valley, and the water and dampness of the human body cannot be discharged from the body normally, and slowly accumulates in the body, thus affecting the paralysis of meridians and joints and causing the disease.
2) Lack of righteous qi, such as overwork, resulting in the consumption of righteous qi, external evil taking the opportunity to enter the meridian blockage, and the poor flow of qi and blood forms paralysis!Or the deficiency of qi and blood, the health qi is not solid, and the external evil takes advantage of the deficiency to enter, the blood and blood stasis are blocked, and the dampness becomes phlegm and affects the viscera, thus forming the problem of gout!
In fact, to put it simply, gout is a dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and if you like to eat some high-calorie foods every day, it will produce damp heat, and when damp heat encounters external evils, it stays in the position of skin joints, and gout is formedTherefore, moxibustion should start from the aspects of spleen and stomach, tonifying the kidneys and invigorating qi and blood!

Gout moxibustion auxiliary acupoints: upper limb pain, you can add Hegu and Quchi acupoints;If you have pain in the lower limbs, you can add an additional Zhubin acupoint;
A is the acupoint:It is the meaning of moxibustion in the affected area, that is, the pain we focus on the pain points of moxibustion, we often say: "the general is not painful, the pain is not through", when our human body meridians are blocked, there will be painful symptoms, and moxibustion warms the meridians, dissipates cold, and the effect of blood circulation and stasis is particularly good!When there is joint swelling and pain, our first task is moxibustion.
Middle navel acupoint:The middle navel acupoint belongs to the acupuncture point on the Ren vein, and it is also the meeting of Ren vein, hand sun and Shaoyang, foot yang ming, the depth of the middle navel acupoint is the stomach, so the middle navel acupoint is also the recruitment acupoint of the stomach, the Bahui acupoint is the intestine meeting, and the moxibustion navel acupoint can strengthen the spleen with the stomach, soothe the liver and nourish the stomach!If the stomach is good and the digestion and absorption are good, then the spleen can better transport the subtlety of the water valley to the whole body, and solve the problem of phlegm and dampness from a farther distance.
Blood Sea Cave:When the pain of gout attack is not fixed, this situation is generally the wind evil is at fault, because the wind is also erratic, and traditional Chinese medicine often says that "the wind is cured first, and the blood is self-extinguished", as long as our human body is strong in qi and blood, the organs and organs are nourished, the qi and blood run strongly, and the meridians are usual, then the water and dampness in the body can be naturally discharged, and the excessive purines in the body can be metabolized!Thus solving the problem of gout.
Three Yin Jiao:The three yin meridians are the intersection of the liver, spleen and kidney meridians, and moxibustion can regulate the spleen's transport function, transport water and dampness powerfully, and let the body excrete!At the same time, the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, enhancing our body's qi and blood!The liver is drained, and the liver hides blood;The kidneys store essence, the kidney qi is full, and the qi and blood push strongly, then the human body will be healthy and healthy!At the same time, the main bone of the kidney, our general joint pain is also caused by kidney problems!So Sanyinjiao is a good acupuncture point for gout.
Zusanri:Foot Yang Ming stomach meridian, more qi and more blood!Moxibustion Zusanli can regulate immunity, enhance resistance, regulate the spleen and stomach, and tonify the middle and invigorate qi!At the same time, Zusanli is also a point for health care, and the stomach meridian qi and blood form a larger qi and blood in Zusanli!
Like this netizen, the spleen and stomach are usually bad and the stool is sticky, so after the above acupuncture points, you can also moxibustion a large intestine Yu acupoint, which can promote the peristalsis of the large intestine and increase intestinal motility!Improve intestinal problems, etc.!
