Cold Moxibustion
Cold moxibustion is a highlight of classical traditional medicine systems incorporating the theories of “Spring and summer nourish Yang, fall and winter nourish Ying” and “Summer’s sickness, winter treat; winter’s sickness, summer treat”.
In the designated seasons (winter and summer), at the designated time (dog days, thirty-nine days), this is the traditional Chinese Medicine method of “midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine” therapy to achieve the balance of yin and yang in curing and preventing diseases for optimal health throughout the year.
Cold moxibustion is usually done during the hottest days of the summer (dog days). These three days are known to have the strongest yang energy throughout the year, and the best days for “winter sickness, summer treat”.
The thirty-nine days are the three “nine days” starting from the “winter solstice” in winter. It is also the coldest day in winter. It is the best day for “summer’s sickness, winter treat.
The herbal patch used in the treatment is warming in TCM properties and could promote yang, the TCM provider will apply it to the specific acupuncture points or affected parts of the human body following the TCM clinician’s diagnosis. The herbal patch can stimulate acupoints to increase blood circulation with a warming sensation. Through balancing of the meridian, it can adjust the body’s immune function, improve the phagocytic function of macrophages, increase the immune function of lymphocytes and T cells. At the same time, blood eosinophils and immunogloblins contents are reduced, which significantly calms the body from the allergic state. This exercise acts as a “fire drill” for your immune system, so your body can quickly defend itself and clam itself down when an attack or an irritation occurs.
During the early 60-70s, clinical studies of cold moxibustion have been conducted at a college of Chinese Medicine in Henan Province. At that time, there were many textile factories and coal mines in Henan Province with poor air ventilation associated with high burdens of chronic bronchitis and asthma patients. These patients were treated by various kinds of cold moxibustion with very good recovery rates.
Nowadays in Guangdong and Hong Kong, the humid weather, use of air conditioning, poor air quality and people’s tendency to consume raw and cold foods. Therefore, there are more and more diseases such as fatigue, coldness of the body, allergic constitution, poor respiratory, digestive health, and chronic pain. The benefits of moxibustion therapy are simple, convenient, safe and fast, and the therapeutic efficiency can be up to 80%.

Pulse Taking and Chinese Medicine Prescription
Pulse taking a long history in Chinese Medicine. The Chinese Medicine practitioner will place fingers on the patient’s pulse to interrogate deeply on the patient’s pulse which reflects underlying symptoms and illnesses.
There are four key steps to this. The first step involves checking the patient’s complexion and tongue, while the second step revolves around listening to the patient’s breathing and identify any issues when they cough. The third step is based on the patient explaining the symptoms they have experienced and what treatment they have been using to manage it. Finally, by checking a patient’s pulse, including how strong it is and the general rhythm, medicine can be prescribed accordingly.
Cupping
Cupping is a popular technique that uses the heating of (by fire as most traditional method) small glass cups, to create a suctioning action on the patient’s skin. This causes a confined swelling of the tissue with the goals to improve blood and qi circulation, reduce swollenness and inflammation, and remove dampness (a term used to describe excess water in the body as cause of various types of illnesses). This technique is known for alleviating pain symptoms, it can also be used to improve other cold-related symptoms and illnesses, e.g. wind chill/common cold.
