What is an Acu-Moxa Point?
Переглядів 4872 місяці тому
When I was in acupuncture school, I always wondered what a 'point' really was. No one gave me a satisfying answer. Since the human body is a small heaven and earth, I found an answer that satisfies me by looking at the terrain of the earth through the teachings of yin house fengshui.

Great content again. With surge from the abdomen to heart, the confusion and feeling he is going to die, the last one sounds more like panic attack or Running Piglet than hot flashes to me. A syndrome I would love to hear you cover.
Thanks! Running piglet? I can look for cases when I have time, but that won't be for a while. I am in the middle of two projects.
me again … just ordered Xue Jie, Mo Yao, and Ru Xiang to make a large batch of this liniment for my cohort at acupuncture school. Do you put all the resinous herbs in bags? curious b/c you put the mo yao in a bag but not the xue jie. thx! ps- would love a follow up vid showing how to filter off a bit while letting the “mother” continue aging
If I remember correctly, the only thing in a bag was tanxiang. That was because I had it powdered (ground up, not granules) and didn't have it whole. The resins just go in with everything else.
For filtering some off, first stir it or shake it. If the bottle is small enough, just pour some off through cheesecloth. If the bottle is too big, use a ladle or a syringe. That's all.
can you use these while they are moist, or should they always be dried first?
These are used moist. There should be another video somewhere about dried 'moxa cookies '
@ yes, i’m making those moxa cookies as well. i don’t have a dehydrator and am following my herb teacher’s advice to dry them in a low oven at 325F. thoughts? also, how do you process ai ye (and other dried leaf/stem herbs) into powder? sorry if i missed this in another video. how do you grind herbs
@ thanks! i’m also soaking slices of FuZi as a base for moxa. my understanding is that you press the slices flat and poke holes. would you use those “wet” or could i let them dry again? i’m picturing dried FuZi slices (not powdered) with holes … ready as a base for larger moxa cones
You can do that. The point is that they are thoroughly dry so they won't get moldy and will last a long time. You could use a lower oven temp if you like. Just get them dry don't let them burn.
Sorry, this was about using the oven. I'll answer the fuzi question next.
Spectacular. Thank you
Great content as always- used this to make Qing Dai Gao and about to make some Jin Huang Gao now. Thanks Lorraine.
It makes me happy when I know people use the information. Thanks for letting me know!
the aliexpress links are not working, what was the aliexpress description for the wood pill maker?
@@adventureisoutthere8064 sorry, I don't remember. I bought it a few years ago. They can be hard to find. Sorry.
Here is one. I never bought from this place. You might find other venders with a reverse image search. www.lazada.com.my/products/traditional-chinese-medicine-meatball-maker-honeyed-bolus-handmade-pill-maker-pill-rolling-plate-tool-mold-pill-rolling-device-pill-rubbing-ball-cleaner-i3848361164.html
I recently made diy incense and used an extruder. The incense came out the extruder ok but when I grab it to put on the screen it would break Everytime. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
@@bigdjers maybe too dry, maybe whatever you used as a binder didn't bind it enough.
This is wonderful! I started growing my own artemisia argyi and now looking forward to making my own moxa punk and sticks. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lorraine. This is so interesting.
I think it's so interesting how acupuncture has taken on such a ghostly conotation here in the west! I remember your other video talking about ghost points and talking about patients "AS IF they were seeing ghosts." Btw, I want a shirt that says "GHOSTS? MY ASS!"
@@just_steve6122 I love that line!
力如张绳 roughly translates to "Forced like a taut or stretched rope". I am assuming like it was tightly wound or hard like a stretched or pulled rope?
Oh, you are absolutely right. I should have gotten that. Thanks!!!
Hi Lorraine, thanks for this great video! I am going to make some honey pills soon. Wondering what the indication is for making large pills you chew like you made vs smaller ones you just swallow? Thanks in advance :)
Thanks! I have 3 answers why things are made into a specific form. 1. Make medicines in the form they were originally written. 2. Make them in a form that you or your patient want to take it in. 3. This video will discuss the answer in terms of qi. ua-cam.com/video/-XXP8IwI7as/v-deo.html

瓊玉膏
thanks for this video - very informative! i’ve seen other recipes that include Ban Xia. what are your thoughts on adding some?
@@independent4570 I haven't seen banxia in liniment recipes. Liniments are for external application and phlegm is not usually close to the exterior except for phlegm nodes. But that's just my opinion and I am sure there must be other points of view about it.
@@LorraineWilcox That’s what i thought, too. Thanks! There are several other youtubers with “how to” videos and they used it. I want to keep close to the classical recipes. Love your videos!
Thank you, I love this video :)
Superb, THANKS! But ... "The Shangxing point was punctured with a flat thorn at an acupuncture depth of 0.5-0.8 in using the extraction method." come again?
Did I say that? I don't think so. What are you quoting from.
@@LorraineWilcox The attached study: 'Methods' section
Just bad translation
Fantastic. Thank you so much for your scholarship
Great video again. Thanks. I look forward to these ones on ghosts and spirits. Under my notes for St 17, I have it that Ge Hong also recommended treating St 17 with 3 cones of moxa along with 7 on the clump of hair at the base of the big toe (so between Sp 1 and Liv 1) for Dian Kuang with falling fits and manic frenzy (Strickmann, 2002, Chinese Magical Medicine, p.240). Also, on the order of Sun Si-Miao's Ghost Points: if you divide them up into groups of 3, with under the tongue left over, then there is one hand channel point, one foot channel point and one extraordinary vessel point in each group, except the last which flips to having both extraordinary vessels and one channel point. It is as if they are working deeper with each group. This is a modern interpretation by Yuen, unless he got it from another source, but it makes some sense of the sequence.
Thanks for all that!!!
Slightly disappointing...perhaps consider reading it as written without westernizing it? Even a bot read? I am interested in the book but I couldn't listen to your reading for long sorry. Wish you well.
Sorry, how was it Westernized? Sorry you didn't like it, but without more details, your criticism gives me no clues of how to improve. BTW, I have no book on this, but others do.
@@LorraineWilcox again sorry, I thought, well I kind of skirted around it, but, well, giving your own take in a modern way, assuming most people interested in this subject wouldn't understand. Which probably many are, but, well it was hard to listen to. I tried reading with volume off but that's not exactly what I was looking for. Again, best wishes and if I may, sorry for this particular comment.
No worries, you are welcome to your opinion. I am sorry it wasn't what you were looking for. You are saying, I guess, that you thought I explained too much. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you Dr. Wilcox. I look forward to trying this!
Making ding zhi wan per Z'ev's recent JCM article.
❤what are you think of the origin of ten heavens? 12 zodiacs too
I don't know. Ancient people could intuit things that are lost to us?
Thank you so much for demonstrating this! My program director asked me to teach the techniques in CAM and this is one of them, but the translation was so awful, I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was supposed to do! This has clarified it perfectly!
This method is so much better than holding a stick over a point, but it takes a little practice. I hope you like it!
If you could do a video showing the needle manipulation techniques from CAM, that would save my actual human life! No pressure though.
@@silkroadhealth9354 Sorry, not within my capabilities
Thanks so much for sharing this!
how long is this going to last for? Or is it more something you'd make as needed? Thanks for the video - very informative!
They are dry, so if stored in a cool dry place, in an airtight container, they will last indefinitely. It is a pain to make, so I would probably make more pills less frequently, rather than making a little each time.
Thank you Lorraine for those case studies are any of those books that the case studies are from, specifically about phlegm diseases? Or were you just picking phlegm diseases for today's podcast? I obtain good success treating phlegm in many diseases in my clinic I would like to know about how the classic doctors did it. I suppose I could start by looking up those books that you cited today in searching for more cases involving phlegm?
Many case studies collections have sections on phlegm, but phlegm issues may also be found under other headings, such as cough, vomiting, mania-withdrawal, epilepsy, etc. I am pretty sure there are phlegm-related cases in my previous videos too.
this...actually give me an idea on how to make precise weighted pills. get the rolling board but use a rolling pin instead to make precise sheet of medicl paste, then use a round thing to cooky cutter the pills out until I find the 5mg sweet spot. rinse and repeat until the dough is all gone. magnificent. thanks for the inspiration! here I thought id have to spend $1000 for making precise measurements of medicine.
Let us know how it goes!
nice work!!!!!
Loving this series!!!
interesting point about cupping and gua sha at the end. Thank you for these lectures!
very good.
Thank You from France. Always a pleasure to listen to your precious work.
Thank you very much! The lecture is very interesting and makes you think about the topic more deeply.
Ingredients? please? What is mould price
It wasn't expensive, but I bought it three years ago on ebay, so my price then might not be the price you find. I have other videos on making incense that will have the ingredients listed. There is a link to one in the video description.
Here is one seller of incense cone molds. The price is higher than I remember, $34US www.ebay.com/itm/145343386437?_nkw=incense+cone+mold&itmmeta=01J74D1FM6Q0C1MN51QDFXBBFE&hash=item21d7241345:g:NZYAAOSwPilchyeO&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmmjN3q88%2FMAbt8nbXDuOjlMLxLLEjUAFCTe7ou62yJXbnb6ckANisOA8vuj%2BUzX7D4qL7Fj796zzOmLb3Y7MNC7K9YTDmF1dqdk8fFHkfnpkzb6P29DX0v1DOA1B7FpN22h5YZ%2Brnvng4BbczrsZU%2B%2BAI1ic4q6FW545VFlf%2FT9iO4EGb3P9C%2FjzGYjDlGWXlZvQaQk%2F1kadcx0YXODcdWC5Xs99imxDxzDx2C1JGEWzvh3d%2F8sV6aK65Eof1D2Qk6sx1zJdvVF2uxWxY7BPtvGWhnGOtdq4b6jwR3cNxKkw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMlvqFjblk&edge=1
Stiffness and pain from the lumbar spine LU5 might be due to the imaging concept - the middle of the arm relates to the lower back. Seems like they knew ST6 was great for TMJ.
I love your videos, I learn so much that has helped my patients
This is very important and necessary information. Thank you very much for your work
Thank you very much for very interesting lectures!
Thanks for your efforts at communicating
Very interesting stuff
Dimmak is also known as Dian Xue Shu - to act or strike acupoints.
Great video, thank you. Your discussion of "water embracing" and the fact that the Xue is located in the earth, where the Shengqi pools as it reaches water, reminded me of some modern anatomical studies that suggested many "acupoints" to correlate with neuro-vascular bundles where the nerves and blood vessels travel closely together. By locating the point as embraced by the water, but not in it, it sounds like a Feng Shui method to find the nerve and get that Deqi feeling without hitting the blood vessels close to it.
Great subject, thank you very much.
Also interesting as feng shui can also be seen as qi and xue (blood) in internal circulation (yang/yin) analogy.
Fantastic! My past as an archaeologist with a focus on early agriculture and water management practices and my present as an acupuncturist are calling for a book about the landscape topography of the channel system!
That would be wonderful! It is something Ed Neal talks about a lot, by the way.
Hi Lorraine, please advise when can we do steaming umbilicus? What are the symptoms? Diarrhea? Very interesting 🙂
According to Yixue Rumen, it is a "life-prolonging longevity elixir to secure yáng". In other wards it is for nourishing life, but especially in a patient with yang deficiency. It also says "When humans frequently depend on this method of fuming and steaming, yíng and wèi are harmonious, the hún and pò are stable, cold and summerheat cannot invade, and the body can be healthy. There are miracles within this."
@@LorraineWilcox sounds amazing 🙏 I have the patients who will definitely benefit from it. Thank you for your answer and videos 😊
