Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I wrote an article on this subject that was in NAJOM last winter. I can send it to anyone who is interested. It explains the rational for using moxa for Yin Xu with heat with 3 case studies. Sharon Sharon Weizenbaum www.whitepinehealingarts.com Hi, Could somebody please tell me why moxa is being used to treat herpes zoster infections ( Shingles) ? Is moxa not contra indicated when there is heat? Do you know any artikels were this is explained? I need it for my thesis. I google'd it and found nothing. The artikels about moxa i found do not explain HOW it works. Thanx. Tjana.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey All, & nbsp; There is a new book on the market by Lorraine Willcox L.Ac.called " Moxibustion: The Power of Mugwort Fire " . & nbsp; Pretty much everything you want to know about Moxa. & nbsp; The best part of it is that Mrs. Willcox took all of the passages from the classics. & nbsp; Her main sources are: the Ben Cao Geng Mu the Zhen Jiu Da Cheng the Lei Jing Tu Yi and the Jing Yue Quan Shu & nbsp; This text by Mrs. Willcox, justifies why we as a field need to invest in the translation of the Classics -- & nbsp; they just contain too much information to be left out of our knowledge base. & nbsp; Of course, Mrs. Willcox, could not use all of these texts in her book, and she has selected relevant phrases to elucidate her comments, but I dream of a world where we all had access to these texts in English, and could each do our own research. (That would be great!) & nbsp; I believe that Times has this book for sale on its website, and/ or Blue Poppy is the publisher so you could find it on their website. & nbsp; I can not say enough about this book, and it makes me want to use more moxa in my own practice. & nbsp; Especially since I will have some direct knowledge from the Classics to go off of. & nbsp; It would be grand to translate some of the other moxabustion texts that Mrs. Willcox mentions in her book. & nbsp; But I am an idealist & nbsp; I hope that that helps you with your research project, it certainly is the most authoratative book I have found yet in English. & nbsp; Sincerely, & nbsp; L.Ac. The Database Chinese Medicine www.cm-dbcart.com & nbsp; Minor advertisement: & nbsp; The Database is the only website on the internet that is raising money to pay for the translation of Classical Chinese texts. & nbsp; Currently we are using 100% of our subscriptions to fund new translations. & nbsp; Anyone who is interested in the Classics would find subscription to & nbsp;the Database, as a great resource to their study of the Classics. & nbsp; On July 1st, the Database is raising its prices. & nbsp; Anyone that is d before July 1st will be " grandfathered in " for the current price of subscription, as long as their billing is current. & nbsp; Billing is recurring and done in Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly installments. --- On Thu, 6/12/08, Patricia Jordan & lt;coastalcatclinic & gt; wrote: Patricia Jordan & lt;coastalcatclinic & gt; RE: using moxa for heat Chinese Traditional Medicine Thursday, June 12, 2008, 6:28 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Sharon, Thank you for posting the article. It was an interesting. Still, I am left with the question why do you think moxa provides the necessary yang in order to transform the yin to a physiological yin, while chemotherapy destroyers Yin? It is the quantity of heat (rice sized moxa versus high radiation) or the quality of heat (moxa heat compared to chemotherapy heat) or both ? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi Joe, I understand it to simply be referring to the YinYang principle where Yin leads to Yang, vice versa and one is necessary for the existence of the other.
