In recent years, the literature shows that fireweed moxibustion therapy has good therapeutic effect on the treatment of many diseases. The article briefly describes the historical origin of fireweed moxibustion, the clinical theories of Yi medicine, and the clinical role of fireweed, aiming to provide help for the future development of fireweed moxibustion’s unique therapeutic advantages and basic research.展开更多

The results showed that the short-term total effective rate in the group of drug acupoint application was higher than that in the group of traditional crude herb moxibustion, the therapeutic effects of drug acupoint application being closely related to differential types. Analysis also shows the best short-term therapeutic effect was in the type of heat in the lung while the poorest effect in the type of deficiency of the kidney-yang.展开更多

Methods: 55 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n=13), model group (n=14), direct moxibustion group (n=14) and herb-medicine-cake-separated moxibustion (indirect moxibustion) group (n=14). Hyperlipemia model was established by feeding the animals with specialized forage (15% vitellus powder, 5% lard, 0.5% cholesterol and common forage) for 6 weeks. Moxibustion was applied to “Juque”(CV 14), “Tianshu”(ST 25), “Fenglong”(ST 40), etc., 4 moxa-cones for every acupoint, once daily and continuously for 40 days. Serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-Ch), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-Ch) and total cholesterol (TCh) contents were assayed with colorimetric method. Results: Compared with control group, serum LDL-Ch content, HDL-Ch/LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch/TCh of model group were significantly higher (P<0.05～0.01), while compared with model group, LDL-Ch contents of two moxibustion groups were strikingly lower (P<0.01). No significant differences were found between two moxibustion groups in all the 4 indexes. Conclusion: Both direct and indirect moxibustion can effectively lower serum LDL-Ch, raise HDL-Ch, HDL-Ch/LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch/TCh, and regulate lipoprotein metabolism in hyperlipemia rabbits.展开更多

Methods: A total of 55 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n=13), model group (n=14), direct moxibustion group (n=14) and medicinal herb-cake-separated moxibustion (indirect moxibustion) group (n=14). Hyperlipemia model was established by feeding the animals with specialized forage (15% vitellus powder, 5% lard, 0.5% cholesterol and common forage) for 6 weeks. Moxibustion was applied to “Juque”(CV 14), “Tianshu”(ST 25), “Fenglong”(ST 40), etc., 4 moxa-cones for every acupoint, once daily and continuously for 40 days. Serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TCh) contents were assayed with colorimentric method. Results: Compared with control group, TCh and TG levels of model group increased significantly (P< 0.01). TCh and TG contents of direct moxibustion and indirect moxibustion groups were significantly lower than those of model group (P<0.01). Comparison between two moxibustion groups showed that serum TCh level of indirect moxibustion group was strikingly lower than that of direct moxibustion group (P<0.01). It indicated that both direct and indirect moxibustion could effectively lower hyperlipemia and the therapeutic effect of indirect moxibustion was significantly superior to that of direct moxibustion in lowering serum TCh level. Conclusion: Both direct and indirect moxibustion can regulate lipid metabolism and the therapeutic effect of medicinal herb-cake-separated moxibustion is superior to that of direction moxibustion in hyperlipemia rabbits.展开更多
