As early as Huangdi Neijing, it has been clearly pointed out that moxibustion can reinforce diarrhea. For example, the chapter "Ling Shu Bei" says: "Excess of qi leads to diarrhea, while deficiency of qi leads to tonic. Those who fill it with fire will extinguish themselves if they don't blow their fire. People who vent with fire will blow out the fire and spread their love. They must be put out by fire. " The word "biography" in Huangdi Neijing is called "fu", and Yang Shangshan commented: "Blowing heat into it attacks its disease, so it causes diarrhea. Fu yinfu Hold Fu in your hand and blow it, and your anger will go away. " In Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Danxi said in "Essays on Tibetan Relic in Danxi Heart Method" that "Moxibustion fire can replenish fire and purge fire. Fire supplements the moxa fire yellow to the meat; If you have a fire, don't touch the meat and sweep it away. " Zhu gave full play to the role of moxibustion in reinforcing diarrhea in Huangdi Neijing. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Yong said in "Introduction to Medicine" that "virtual moxibustion can help the internal heat of Yuanyang; Real moxibustion can dissipate real evil with internal heat: moxibustion on cold people will warm their qi again; If you are hot, moxibustion will lead to stagnation of heat, and the fire is dry. Li not only expounded the adaptation scope and mechanism of moxibustion, but also clearly pointed out that moxibustion is suitable for the syndrome of cold and heat deficiency and excess. The Qing Dynasty's "Shenjiu Jinglun" said: "Moxibustion warms the meridians, so that those who go against it can be smooth, and those who stay can be smooth ..." This is a further supplement. Looking at the above records, we can see that moxibustion reinforcing and reducing therapy originated from Huangdi Neijing, and its content is more complete after the clinical development of doctors.

Ancient physicians not only expounded in theory, but also accumulated considerable experience in this respect. Examples are as follows.

Tonifying method: Analogous method of sewing wings introduces that moxibustion is effective for "white blood, thin pulse, cold hands and feet ..." The Complete Works of Ancient and Modern Medical Systems says: "Moderate cold, yin cold, cold pulse is absolutely dying, so moxibustion is appropriate. Qihai, Shenmen, Dantian and Guanyuan are suitable for moxibustion. " Acupuncture is easy to learn: "blood collapse, middle pole and uterine moxibustion".

Diarrhea method: The Emergency Prescription for Preparing a Thousand Daughters says: "Every soldier suffers from waist swelling, bone swelling, carbuncle, arthralgia, skin swimming and heat toxic swelling, but these diseases are different at first sight, that is, urgent moxibustion can make him recover." Moxibustion in "Danxi Heart Therapy" can cure fever, so that "the fire is smooth and the heat is toxic." Based on the principle of "treating from the point", according to the principle that dryness and heat start from fire and seek for the same gas, or moxibustion is used to induce cremation gas, which is the key to treat severe excess heat depression. "Medical Door" says: "Those who are hot must be moxibustion, which will cause stagnation of heat." Shou Shi Bao yuan treats abdominal accumulation, constipation and heartache. "Take croton meat as a cake, fill it in the navel, and moxibustion is the top three." Wait a minute.

For the mechanism of moxibustion to stop diarrhea, doctors in past dynasties have also made many explanations. For example, Liu Jinhe expounded the pathogenesis of fiery heat and founded the theory of fiery heat. He believes that the yang syndrome of surgery is "sore belongs to fire" and the treatment should be "external moxibustion to stop evil" Wu said in "A Brief Introduction to Divine Moxibustion": "Moxibustion therapy seven days before the beginning of sores and carbuncles can greatly break the knot and strengthen the body; Lead poison out, move deeper and shallower, and the effect is better than medicine. " All these indicate that the surgical yang syndrome can be treated by moxibustion, which can induce the poison to go out of the body, from deep to shallow, break the knot and harden, dredge the meridians, and reconcile the camp and the defense, so that the ulcer can be cured. For heat syndrome, moxibustion is used. Zhu Danxi thinks that this moxibustion can make "fire smooth and induce heat toxicity, which is the meaning of treatment". He used moxibustion to treat yin deficiency syndrome, thinking that "those who use moxibustion to show the scene, therefore, replenish yang, and yang produces yin, so it is also long." He raised moxibustion to treat heat syndrome to rational understanding. Wang Ming Shishan believes that "true moxibustion can make true evil spread with internal heat ..."; Hot moxibustion; The stagnation of qi leads to dryness of fire. "These theories still have certain guiding significance for our clinic.
