Fwd: Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Canada - Library Article

[Guest guest]

Here is the article on the use of moxabustion at Bai Hui (GV 20) and Stomach

36. Maciocia says moxa at GV 20 is contraindicated in cases of high blood

pressure. Chen Quan says he has used moxa on GV 20 and St 36 to treat high

blood pressure succesfully.

 

Unfortunately, this article does not go into TCM syndromes. Hypertension is

one of those conditions which can have different TCM Roots. For example

there is Yang Deficiency hypertension, hypertension associated with certain

Liver imbalances, etc. The article doesn't give any information on TCM

syndromes which were present in these individuals.

 

The article says that Bai Hui will be painful in a person who has

hypertension.

 

Hopefully this long link will work.

Du 20 has the ability to yank qi upward toward the top of the head and

so it is used for bringing things up. However, because at the top,

there is no where to go but down, it can also be used to induce the

falling action of qi if it is collecting in the head ala high blood pressure.

 

That's the law of yin and yang in action that says " ultimate yang

becomes yin " . At the top of the head, the qi that has risen, but begin

to fall.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
