As the saying goes, "Prepare the umbrella before it rains!" For this month, we introduce you to a time-sensitive form of TCM treatment called Celestial moxa.
Celestial moxa (also known as San Fu Tie or Allergy & Asthma Patch) is a method that treats disease through a combination of Acupuncture, Chronomedicine and Preventative Medicine. It originated from the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912) when Dr. Lu Zhang implemented this approach to successfully treat a chronic asthma patient. To this day, Celestial moxa is one of the most popular treatments in China and it is even covered by their national health insurance.
What is the theory behind it?
The main concept behind Celestial moxa is Chronomedicine, which refers to treating specific conditions at the right time to yield the best and most effective results. A herbal patch is placed to specific acupuncture points based on the diagnosis during "San Fu" days in the summer. "San Fu" refers to three specific time periods in the lunar calendar that correspond to metal, one of the five elements, which is paired with the Lung organ according to the Five Element Theory. There is an ancient saying that a "good doctor cures diseases, but a great doctor prevents one." Preventative care has always been a strength of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As stated in the Emperor's Classic, one can strengthen the Yang energy of the body during spring and summer time to prevent the onset of winter illnesses such as Asthma, Chronic Rhinitis, Allergies, Cold/Flu and etc.
How does it work?..........
