Textual research and application of bamboo horse riding moxibustion

骑竹马灸法最早出现于宋代《卫济宝书》,操作为病人跨坐于竹马之上,联合应用竹量法与手指同身寸法定位取穴施灸。骑竹马灸法对痈疽类外科疾病有着良好的治疗效果,该穴位于背俞穴附近,灸此可流通气血、凉血理气,并且艾灸配合病人骑竹马出现的急性短暂性心理应激反应,能共同提高人体免疫力。骑竹马灸穴既能单穴使用治疗痈疽,又可与腧穴配伍治疗变证,更有与配伍汤药巩固治疗。骑竹马灸法操作简单风险低,扶正祛邪,配合现代手术治疗与抗生素治疗,能有更好的预后效果,望其成为治疗痈疽的术前治疗、术后保健的要穴。

The bamboo horse riding moxibustion method first appears in the Wei Ji Bao Shu of the Song Dynasty,which operates when a patient straddles on a bamboo horse and the acupoint is located and moxibustion is performed by combining the bamboo measurement method and thefinger size method.This moxibustion method has a good therapeutic effect on surgical diseases such as carbuncle and gangrene.Selecting the acupoint located near the Back-Shu point,the therapy can not only promote qi and blood circulation,cool blood and regulate qi,but also improve human immunity together with the acute transient psychological stress reaction of patients when riding on bamboo horses.Moxibustion at this single point can not only be used to treat carbuncle and gangrene,but also be combined with other acupoints to treat different syndromes,and be used in combination with decoctions to consolidate its treatment effect.The method is simple in operation and can also have a better prognosis when it is combined with modern surgical treatment and antibiotic treatment.It is expected that it will become a critical acupoint for preoperative treatment and postoperative health care of carbuncle and gangrene.
