周楣声“热证贵灸”经验

Zhou Mei-sheng's Experience of"Moxibustion Suitable for Heat Syndrome"

梅花针灸学派周楣声教授在大量临床中发现,灸法对乙型肝炎、急性肺炎、化脓性脑膜炎、肠炎肠痉挛以及许多化脓性与非化脓性的发热病均取得良好的治疗效果,在此基础上提出热证不仅可灸,而且“热证贵灸”。周教授认为,虽灸是火的一部分,但灸不能代表火,艾灸疗法也不能代表火疗方法,在临床中两者应仔细区分。热证是否禁灸应从灸法本身思考,而非一味的热证禁灸。周教授提倡连续施灸巩固疗效,施灸时患者热度会上升,艾灸结束后会回复正常。灸法非唯一的治疗手段,盲目推崇艾灸疗法亦是医者在临床实践中应当避免的。

Professor Zhou Mei-sheng of the Plum Blossom School of Acupuncture and Moxibustion has found in a large number of clinical cases that moxibustion has achieved good therapeutic effects on hepatitis B,acute pneumonia,purulent meningitis,enterospasm of enteritis,and many suppurative and non suppurative febrile diseases.On this basis,he proposes that heat syndrome can not only be treated by moxibustion,but also"moxibustion suitable for heat syndrome".Professor Zhou believes that although moxibustion is a part of fire,it cannot represent fire,and moxibustion therapy cannot represent fire therapy methods.In clinical practice,the two should be carefully distinguished.Whether moxibustion is prohibited for heat syndrome should be considered from the moxibustion method itself,not based on moxibustion contraindication for heat syndrome.Professor Zhou advocates continuous moxibustion to consolidate the curative effect.The patient's heat will rise when moxibustion is applied,and it will return to normal after moxibustion.Moxibustion is not the only therapeutic method,and blindly advocating moxibustion therapy is also something that doctors should avoid in clinical practice.
