新冠肺炎的针灸预防保健方法
Acupuncture Methods for COVID-19
Prevention and Health Care
曾芳教授（Prof.Zeng Fang）
在面对来势凶猛的新冠肺炎，提高人体免疫力是关键所在，也是中医倡导 “正气内存，邪不可干”防病治病理念的体现。2月16日，世界卫生组织传统医药咨询专家、全国政协委员、四川省侨联委员、成都中医药大学侨联副主席、针灸推拿学院/第三附属医院院长曾芳教授主持编制并亲自演示的四川省《新型冠状病毒肺炎的针灸预防保健方法》由成都中医药大学、四川省针灸临床医学研究中心和四川省针灸学会联合发布。该方案制定了“穴位按压”与“灸法”两套操作方案，并提供了详细的操作方法。其配套制作的实操辅导视频简便明了，易学易用，有助于不同社会人群对照操作实施。
It is indispensable and substantial for combating the threatening COVID-19 to improve human immunity, which is also the embodiment of the concept of preventing and treating diseases advocated by Chinese medicine, "as long as the vital qi exists, the pathogenic factors will not invade.” On February 16th, Prof.Zeng Fang, a WHO consulting expert on traditional medicine, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People"s Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Chinese People"s Political Consultative Conference of Sichuan Province, a vice-chairman of the Overseas Chinese Federation of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the director of the College of Acupuncture and moxibustion and Tuina/ The Third Affiliated Hospital presided over the preparation and demonstration of Sichuan "Acupuncture Methods for COVID-19 Prevention and Health Care". It was jointly released by Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sichuan Acupuncture Clinical Research Center and Sichuan Acupuncture Society. This program has formulated two sets of operation plans of "acupressure" and "moxibustion", and provides operation methods in details. The practical tutorial videos are simple and clear, easy to learn and practice, and could help different social groups to manipulate.
穴位按压
Acupressure
穴位按压是通过手法刺激穴位，达到疏通经络，调和阴阳，增强人体免疫力的作用。操作时可分为两种步骤，一是选定穴位，二是对穴位进行按压操作。针对疫情，我们推荐以下四个穴位， 分别是大椎，风池，中府和足三里。接下来我们一起找一找这些穴位吧！
Acupressure is a sort of manipulation that stimulates acupoints to achieve the purpose of dredging the meridians, regulating yin and yang and strengthening the body’s immunity. The manipulation can be divided into two steps, which are selecting acupoints and pressing acupoints. As for the current epidemic situation, we recommend the four acupoints: Da Zhui (DU14), Feng Chi (GB20), Zhong Fu (LU1) and Zu San Li (ST36). Let’s find these acupuncture points together!
大椎穴位于项部，在人体后正中线上，第七颈椎棘突下凹陷中。取穴时正坐低头，在颈部能摸到的最突出的椎骨就是第七颈椎，第七颈椎下方的凹陷处就是大椎穴。大椎穴是督脉上的穴位，可以振奋阳气，增强人体抵抗病邪的能力。
Da Zhui (DU14) is located at the posterior mid-line of the neck and in the depression of the seventh cervical spinous process. The acupoint can be found while taking seated position with head drop; the most prominent vertebrae that can be touched on the neck is the seventh cervical vertebrae, and the depression under the seventh cervical vertebrae is DU14 acupoint. DU14 is an acupoint of the governor vessel which can invigorate yang and enhance the body’s ability to resist the pathogenic qi.
风池穴位于枕骨之下，斜方肌上端与胸锁乳突肌上的凹陷中。取穴时正坐，直臂抬肘，肘与肩同高，屈肘向头，食指自然张开，双手掌心贴着耳朵，食指抱头拇指向上推，大拇指指腹下的凹陷处就是风池穴。风池穴可以祛风散邪，是治疗头痛，发热等外感疾病的重要穴位。
Feng Chi (GB20) is located below the occipital bone and in the depression between the upper end of the trapezius muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle. The acupoint can be taken while sitting straightening your elbow and raising your hand, when the elbows are at the same height as shoulders, bend your elbows towards your head with fingers open naturally, palms of both hands cover the ears, fingers hold the head to push the thumbs up, the depression under the thumbs are GB20. GB20, an important acupoint for treating exogenous diseases such as headache and fever, can dispel pathogenic wind and expel pathogen.
中府穴位于胸部，横平第一肋间隙，锁骨下窝外侧，前正中线旁开6寸。取穴时双手插腰，肘部向前，微微含胸，首先找到锁骨外侧端下缘的三角形凹陷，手指从这个凹陷正中垂直往下推大约一厘米就是中府穴。中府穴为肺经的穴位，擅长治疗咳嗽，气喘，胸痛等呼吸系统疾病。
Zhong Fu (LU1) is located on the upper lateral chest, 6 cun lateral to the anterior midline and at the same level with the first intercostal space. When taking the acupoint, please place your hands on your waist with elbows slightly forward and chest slightly backward, then find the triangular depression at the lower edge of the lateral end of the clavicle bone, pushes your finger vertically downward for about 1 cm, where the LU1 acupoint is. LU1 is an acupoint of lung meridian,indicated for respiratory diseases such as cough, asthma and chest pain.
足三里位于小腿外侧，犊鼻下3寸，胫骨前脊旁开一横指（中指）。取穴时取坐位，伸直小腿，先在膝盖上方找到髌骨上外缘，用同侧手掌开虎口，围住髌骨上外缘，四指直指向下，中指尖处就是足三里穴。足三里是人体最重要的强壮保健穴，还具有显著的调补脾胃的功效。
Zu San Li (ST36) is located on the outside of the calf, 3 cun below Du Bi (ST35), and a horizontal finger (middle finger) length next to anterior tibia. When taking the acupoint, please take a seated position, straighten your calf, and find the upper outer edge of the kneecap, place part of the hand (between the thumb and index finger) surround the upper outer edge of the kneecap with four fingers pointing straight down, and the middle fingertip is the ST36 acupoints. ST36 is an important acupoint for health preserving, and it also has significance effect on replenishing the spleen and stomach.
找准穴位后就可以开始按压操作了，我们可以在刚才选定的穴位上用指腹用力按压穴位一下，然后以顺时针方向揉按三下，称为一按三揉，一按三揉为一次，每次操作50-100次，每次操作以穴位局部酸胀感或发热感为度。穴位按压从大椎穴开始，依次为双侧的风池穴，中府穴，足三里穴，每日早晚可以各按一次。对于老年人而言，按压大椎穴的操作可能不太方便，可以请家人帮忙操作 。同时我们也可以利用另外一种简单的方法来刺激大椎穴，张开双手，掌心微微外突，两手掌心相对，快速摩擦，感受到掌心温热后继续摩擦，直到感觉掌心发烫之后，迅速将手掌置于大椎穴上，使热度能够渗透到大椎穴，然后用手掌在大椎穴局部做快速的左右来回摩擦，重复操作3-5分钟。
After finding all the acupoints, we can use our finger pulp to press on the selected acupoints and then knead 3 times in clockwise direction, this method is called as ‘one press three knead’, repeat this method for 50-100 times. It is necessary to reach a degree of soreness and slight warm sensation on the local area for each time. Pressing the acupoint starts from DU14, following by both sides of GB20, LU1 and ST36, these points can be pressed once in morning and evening respectively. It maybe inconvenient for the elder people to press DU14,, you may ask family members for help or use another simple method to stimulate DU14 acupoint. Open your hands with palms slightly protruded, rub your palm quickly until you feel the palms are hot, then quickly place your palms on the DU14 point, so that the heat can penetrate through DU14. After that, use the palm of your hand to rub on DU14 points back and forth, repeat this method for 3-5 minutes.
穴位按压时，有以下注意事项：
（1）在进行穴位按压疗法时，要保持全身肌肉放松，呼吸均匀。
（2）穴位的顺序可先上后下，先左后右。
（3）操作时用力要均匀，揉和，持久，禁止使用暴力。
（4）皮肤破损的部位禁止穴位按压。
When performing acupressure, there are following precautions:
1.When performing acupressure, keep our whole body muscles relaxed and breathe evenly.
2.The order of the acupoints can from up to down, left to right.
3.Apply the lasting force evenly, gently, and avoid pressing too hard.
4.Acupressure is not allowed on damaged skin.
灸法
Moxibustion
灸法可以显著提高机体免疫力，具有抗病毒、止咳平喘，以及舒缓情绪等作用。艾条燃烧产生的烟雾具有芳香辟秽的作用，可以用作空气消毒。居家使用时，大家可以根据情况选择温灸盒灸或随身灸两种方式，根据三孔灸盒的长度，我们以肚脐（神阙穴）为中心，上下各约9厘米，左右大约4厘米的长方形区域作为施灸的部位。
Moxibustion can significantly improve the body"s immunity, and it has the function of antivirus, relieving cough and asthma, and relaxing emotion. The smoke produced by the burning of moxa sticks can dispel filth with aroma. It can be used for air sterilization. When using at home, we can choose warm moxibustion box or portable moxibustion according to the circumstance. According to the length of the three-hole moxibustion box, we take navel (Shen Que acupoint, CV8) as the center, and the rectangular area of about 9 cm above and below and about 4 cm left and right is used as the moxibustion site.
这个区域内的神阙穴、气海穴、关元穴、都是人体重要的保健穴位，具有增强人体免疫力、抵御病邪的作用。中脘穴和天枢穴具有显著的调节胃肠功能的作用。施灸需要准备的器具包括：三孔灸盒、艾条、打火机、小刀、镊子、小型盛水器具。取一根艾条，用小刀将其平均地分为三段，用打火机将其一端点燃，分别插入灸盒上方的灸孔当中。
Shen Que acupoint (CV8), Qi Hai acupoint (CV6) and Guan Yuan acupoint (CV4) in this area are important health care acupoints, and they have the function of strengthening human immunity and resisting diseases and pathogen. Zhong Wan acupoint (CV12) and Tian Shu acupoint (ST25) can substantially regulate gastrointestinal function. The instruments prepared for moxibustion includes: three-hole moxibustion box, moxa sticks, lighters, knives, tweezers and small water utensils. Take a moxa stick and divide it evenly into three sections with a knife, light one end, respectively inserted into the holes above the moxibustion box.
您可以仰卧在床上，或者是沙发的一侧，将长方形三孔灸盒的第二个孔正对肚脐（神阙穴），施灸盒的长边与身体的纵轴平行，覆盖中脘、神阙、气海、关元穴，而灸盒的短边与身体的水平轴平行，覆盖两侧的天枢穴。每次施灸的时间大约20至30分钟，每段灸条至少应灸完1/2的长度，或者直至灸条燃尽，这可以根据你的时间或者你对温热的感受来进行自行调节。
You can supine on the bed, or on the sofa, and place the second hole of the rectangular three-hole moxibustion box directly to the navel (CV8). The long side of the moxibustion box is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body, covering CV12, CV8, CV6 and CV4. The short side of the moxibustion box is parallel to the horizontal axis of the body, covering ST25. Moxibustion duration should be about 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Each section of moxibustion stick should be burnt at least 1/2 of the length, or until the moxibustion stick burns out. This can be adjusted according to your time or your tolerance towards warmth.
如果您觉得温灸盒施灸烟雾过大，不易接受，也可以采用随身灸法，您可以将一根灸条平均分为5小段，分别将其一端点燃，放入随身灸盒当中，随后再将灸盒依次放入配套的布袋中，您可以取站立位，将布袋系在腰部上，让正中的灸盒正对肚脐，这样施灸的区域就可以涉及我们刚才提到的中脘、神阙、关元、气海、天枢穴。施灸的时间大约20至30分钟，施灸时有如下的注意事项，请您留意。
If you feel the moxibustion smoke is too heavy accept, you can divide the moxa stick into 5 segments, lit the end respectively, and put into the portable moxibustion box, then put the boxes in the matching bag to receive portable moxibustion. You can stand, tie the matching bag on the waist, putting the center moxibustion box right to the middle of the belly button, so that moxibustion area can cover the acupoints we just mentioned: CV 12, CV 8, RN 6, CV 4, ST 25. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to accomplish moxibustion. Please pay attention to the following points when applying moxibustion.
1、温灸盒灸适用于可接受较大艾灸烟雾者，不能接受者可酌情选择随身灸。
2、施灸过程中请关闭门窗或轻掩门窗，以保证灸烟对室内空气消毒效用。
3、当施灸局部温度降低时，先将灸盒放置在地面上，然后将艾条取出，轻弹艾条尾端，使艾灰掉落至陶瓷碗等盛水容器内，再插入艾条，向下按压0.5cm-1cm，以调整局部施灸温度。
4、年老体弱、糖尿病患者应警惕低温烫伤。
5、灸后饮用100-150ml温开水，可缓解艾灸后的口鼻干燥。
6、艾条易燃难灭，灸后务必将其置于盛水的陶瓷碗内熄灭。
1. Warm moxibustion box moxibustion is suitable for those who can tolerate heavy moxibustion smoke, and those who can"t receive moxibustion box moxibustion can choose portable moxibustion.
2. In the process of moxibustion, please close the doors and windows or cover the doors and windows slightly to ensure the efficacy of moxibustion smoke on indoor air disinfection.
3. When the local temperature of moxibustion decreases, place the moxibustion box on the ground at first, then take out the moxa stick, gently flick the end of moxa stick, so that moxa ash falls into the water container such as ceramic bowl, then insert moxa stick, and press down 0.5cm-1cm to adjust the local moxibustion temperature.
4. The aged, infirm and diabetic patients should be alert to the low temperature scald.
5. Drinking 100-150ml warm boiled water after moxibustion can relieve the dry mouth and nose after moxibustion.
6. After moxibustion, it must be placed in a ceramic bowl filled with water to extinguish.
