Moxibustion treatment after bone cancer

The moxibustion therapy of "Yanfeng" is one of the ancient medical methods of the working people in my country. It is a method to eliminate wind poison, balance the physiological energy metabolism of the human body, restore the function of meridians, and achieve the purpose of regulating and curing diseases and maintaining health. It is also a summary of human struggles with various diseases in practice. The moxibustion therapy of "Yanfeng" is two completely different operation methods. "Yanfeng" is mainly rubbing, while moxibustion is mainly based on moxa fire attack and fumigation. Both methods can achieve the purpose of dredging meridians and activating collaterals, eliminating wind poison, and achieving "regulating, curing diseases and maintaining health", clearing the sediments in the meridians (capillaries) in the body, and making the qi and blood flow smoothly.

The medicine for "ironing madness" is equal amounts of turmeric, sea breeze vine, Millettia reticulata, and scallion white. Grind them into powder, put them into a casserole, boil them until hot, then add an egg white, mix well, wrap them with cotton cloth, and rub the patient's Ashi points while they are hot, until they become hot (red or purple-black), so that the medicine liquid can penetrate the skin and reach the lesion directly. "Moxibustion" is to mix moxa wool with the powder of the medicine, roll it into a moxa stick with a diameter of 0.scm with sandpaper, and aim it at the patient's symptom and acupoint through the scallion leaves, so that the medicine qi can penetrate the lesion warmly.

Answers to the case study of bone cancer treated with moxibustion therapy:

1. Clinical Data

1. Left femoral anteroposterior and lateral views + left indigo joint pain. A 4.0x4.5 bone destruction area was found in the left femoral neck in the anteroposterior and lateral views, a bone destruction area near the intertrochanteric region, an irregular edge, increased bone density, an interrupted bone cortex at the upper edge of the femoral neck, and a 3.0x4.0m bone density reduction area near the lesser trochanter of the upper part of the left femur. No other abnormalities were found. Hospital consultation diagnosis: pathological fracture of the left femoral neck (the distal end of the fracture is well aligned); field; bone destruction of the upper part of the left femoral neck branch to be investigated. Recommendation: surgical resection of the bone cancer part.

2. The medullary bones in the patient's waist and kidneys had decayed and dissolved to a high level, with only a small part not infiltrated. When the patient was about to die, the hospital considered it an incurable disease and recommended that only surgery be performed to remove the bones and replace them with stainless steel before he could walk.

2. Treatment options and efficacy

1. Oral administration

Because the patient had severe pain in his left joint, he was bedridden and unable to take care of himself, and he was completely unable to walk. So the first step was to open up the meridians, so that blood and qi could flow and relieve pain. So I started with Liqi Huahen Decoction and Huoxue Zhentong Decoction, taking them every other day to resolve the local blood stagnation.

2. External application, ironing and moxibustion

Used in the acute necrosis stage - Huoxue powder: frankincense, myrrh, red peony root, blood clotting, cinnamon twig, etc., grind into powder, half water and half wine, mix into a paste and apply to the affected area. Used to clear away heat and detoxify, remove dampness and relieve pain, and reduce inflammation and swelling. Clinical data 1.1 The patient received the above treatment from March 16 to May 16, 2010. He was able to sit but could not walk. Then he continued to treat according to the original plan until May 30 of that year. He began to walk to the courtyard with a cane to sit. After another month of treatment, the affected area has improved greatly, with only tenderness or pain when touched.
