It consists three parts： a foundation（a flat-bottomed circular cylinder hollow in center）, a moxa cone forming tube（a hollow column encircled by two semi-cylinders with symmetrical shape and size, and was inserted in the internal cavity of the foundation）; and a compression rod（a solid cylinder used for compressing moxa placed in moxa cone forming tube）. The mould is practical, simple, and convenient and can effectively speed up the preparation of moxa cone, and it is safe in application. Moreover, the obtained moxa cones are regular in shape, uniform in dosage and size, dense in texture, and convenient to pack, store and carry.展开更多

Methods： Sixty-four cases with shoulder periarthritis were randomly divided into two groups, 34 cases in the observation group were treated by eMoxa-VI electronic moxibustion instrument, while 30 cases in the control group were treated by warm needling therapy. The changes of patients’ symptom scores before and after treatments were observed. Results： After two treatment courses, the shoulder pain of the patients in the observation group was relieved more than that in the control group; but after three treatment courses, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The patients’ shoulder joint activity in both groups was improved after treatment. There was no significant difference between the two groups after two treatment courses. However, it indicated that the observation group was more effective than the other one after 3 courses of treatment （P0.05）. The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.1%, versus 86.7% of the control group, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion： Electronic moxibustion and warm needling therapy can relieve the clinical symptoms of shoulder periarthritis, but electronic moxibustion was safer, more environmentally friendly and easy to operate.展开更多

This article introduces the basic situation and mechanism of suspended magnetic cupping therapy for weight loss. For pathogenesis of deficiency, phlegm, stagnation and cold in obesity, Shuang Long Xi Zhu （two dragons playing a ball） moxibustion, abdominal Jiu Gong （nine palaces） moxibustion, San Yang Kai Tai （auspicious beginning） moxibustion and Chang Long （long dragon） moxibustion were given respectively. This therapy has inspired the clinical idea of Chinese medicine for obesity.展开更多

It often occurs in the areas innervated by intercostal, cervical, trigeminal, and lumbosacral nerves. As a feature of this disease, neuralgia happens before or together with the rash, radiating along the innervated areas. Elderly patients commonly suffer from a long-time residual neuralgia展开更多

It often happens before or during period, occasionally after period, and manifests lower abdominal pain, crampy or distending, which may radiate to lumbosacral region, inner thigh and perianal region. Co-occurring symptoms may include pale complexion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and aversion to cold in the whole body or concentrated in lower abdomen. Severe pain can cause prostration or even fainting. Menstrual pain commonly lasts for several hours or 1-2 d, and relieves when menstrual blood flows smoothly.展开更多
