熏脐灸健脾作用的临床研究

Clinical Study on the Spleen-Reinforcing Action of Navel-Fumigating Moxibustion

将１０３例中医辨证为脾虚证的慢性胃肠道疾病患者随机分为熏脐灸组、敷脐组和艾灸组。经对照观察发现：药物敷脐主要改善脾虚患者的消化吸收功能；艾灸偏于提高机体免疫力；而熏脐灸兼有两者的作用。这说明熏脐灸法可强壮脾胃、坚固元气，其抗衰保健作用是有一定科学依据的。

One hundred three cases of chronic gastrointestinal disorders diagnosed as“syndrome of spleen deficiency”were divided at random into group of navel-fumigating moxibustion, group of external application on umbilicus, and that of conventional moxibustion. It was found that external application of medicaments on umbilicus cardinally improved the digestive and absorptive functions of the patients with spleen deficiency; conventional moxibustion was more devoted to enhancing the body immunityl while navel-fumigating moxibustion proyided both the actions. It has been shown that navel-fumigating moxibustion is able to strengthen spleen and stomach and consolidate the primary qi, so its antisenile and health-preserving actions are based on certain scientific eyidence.
