Professor CHEN Rixin's Academic Thought and Clinical Application of “Key Point of Moxibustion,Arrival of Qi Produces Curative Effect”
This paper introduced professor CHEN Rixin's academic thought on “key point of moxibustion, arrival of
qi
produces curative effect”, as well as its clinical application. The records of Deqi in ancient documents were reviewed aligning with the clinical research achievements to further explain the viewpoint of “key point of moxibustion, arrival of
qi
produces curative effect”. It is considered that the core of moxibustion is Deqi. Deqi in moxibustion is a group of comfortable, multi-dimensional responses such as heat penetration, heat expanding and heat transmission related to curative effect. Deqi can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of moxibustion. It is pointed out that paying attention to selecting acupoint by sensation, regulating the temperature of moxibustion and emphasizing on manipulations are the key to effectively stimulate deqi in moxibustion.
Qi
arriving at the location of the disease is the highest requirement for the operation of deqi in moxibustion. In clinical practice, different acupoints are used for different diseases. For example, for visceral diseases, acupoints that obtain deqi through heat penetration are often used; meridian diseases usually take acupoints with non-thermal sensation, while skin diseases used acupoints and obtained deqi through heat expanding. Selection of distal points puts focus on heat transmission. This is the core of applying moxibustion in clinical practice, which deduces simplicity into complexity and is critical for improving clinical efficacy of moxibustion.
