  • Educational Importance of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: a Survey at the Tokai University School of Medicine Japan

    Educational Importance of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: a Survey at the Tokai University School of Medicine Japan

    Tokai J Exp Clin Med., Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 76-80, 2016 Educational Importance of Acupuncture and Moxibustion: A Survey at the Tokai University School of Medicine Japan Masanori TAKASHI*1, Yoshinobu NAKADA*2, Katsuhiko ARAI*2 and Makoto ARAI*2 *1 Office of acupuncture and moxibustion Tokai University Oiso hospital *2 Department of Kampo Medicine, Tokai University School of Medicine (Received March 1, 2016; Accepted March 29, 2016) Objective: Acupuncture and moxibustion are categories of Japanese traditional medicine (Kampo). Precise teaching of Kampo is one of the important issues in medical education, and therefore acupuncture and moxibustion education has been applied to students in Tokai University School of Medicine. To investigate and compare the awareness the medical students have of acupuncture and moxibustion before and after the education, we conducted questionnaire surveys. Methods: The questionnaires were distributed to 117 fourth-year students before and after the education. Results: Of the 117 students issued surveys, 111 responded before, 115 after, and 109 both before and after the education program. Before the education, 79% of the respondents were interested in acupuncture and moxibustion, and 67%, 73%, and 80% thought they were effective, necessary, and worth learning. These results were increased to 92%, 95%, 94% and 97% after the education, respectively (p<0.001 in all four com- parisons). Although 9% said they would perform acupuncture and moxibustion in their routines proactively before the education, after the education this increased to 24% (p<0.001), and 43% supposed that they would definitely introduce patients to acupuncturists. Conclusion: Medical students’ awareness improved after the education, which demonstrated importance of the acupuncture and moxibustion education in medical school.

  • Moxibustion for Humans and Horses

    Moxibustion for Humans and Horses

    Moxibustion for Humans and Horses By Donald Doran, LMT Equine Performance Consultant Herbalist President, Animal Dynamics, Inc. With the arrival of cold and damp winter weather, chronic joint aches and pains begin to flare up in humans and elder horses. Before you reach for that non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or analgesic, why not first reach for a Moxa Roll? One of the most effective therapies for cold and damp conditions of the body is a natural oriental herbal heat therapy called moxibustion. In a moxibustion treatment, specific dried herbs are burned and used to warm regions of the body and acupuncture points. The intention of the treatment is to increase circulation, which promotes healing and provides pain relief, and to induce a smoother flow of blood and “Prana” or “Qi” (energy). The smoke produced from the burning herbs has a pleasant distinct odor of strong incense and is believed to also contribute to the healing effects of the treatment. The primary herb that is used in moxibustion therapy is artisma vulgaris, which is better know as mugwort and which is also often called moxa. Moxa is processed and made available for use in different forms such as Moxa Rolls (or Sticks), Moxa Cones or Loose Moxa. The Moxa Roll, which looks and burns slowly like a long cigar, is used for Indirect Moxibustion Therapy, which is the most prevalent treatment style in use today for humans and horses. History of Moxibustion The use of therapeutic moxibustion predates the use of acupuncture. Moxibustion’s history starts in 3500 BCE with the people who lived in the bitter cold plains of Mongolia.

Moxibustion has been used to treat various types of disease. However, there is still insufficient evidence regarding its effectiveness. This study was performed to summarize and evaluate the effectiveness of moxibustion. A search was performed for all randomized controlled trials in PubMed between January 1998 and July 2008 with no language restriction. The results yielded 47 trials in which six moxibustion types were applied to 36 diseases ranging from breech presentation to digestive disorders. Moxibustion was compared to three types of control group: general care, Oriental medical therapies or waiting list. Moxibustion was superior to the control in 14 out of 54 control groups in 46 studies.

TCM and Ayurveda are the two giant ancient systems of medicine flourished in China and Indian sub-continent respectively. The term like hypothyroidism is not mentioned in both classical literatures of TCM and Ayurveda but the features nearest to hypothyroidism are described in both. In TCM the disorders like Xulao (consumptive disease), Xusun (wasting) and Yinbing (thyroid swelling) can be closely correlated with hypothyroidism while in Ayurveda the disorder Galaganda (enlarged thyroid gland) is the nearest one. According to TCM the pathogenesis of hypothyroidism lies in liver depression as well as spleen and kidney yang deficiency while Ayurveda believes it is due to imbalance of Tridosha (three bodily humours) and treatment is directed accordingly. Modern management of hypothyroidism by using thyroxin is effective with some limitations. The herbs, Chinese massage and acupuncture used in TCM as well as the Ayurvedic herbs could be complementary to the modern day treatment of hypothyroidism.

Vol. 23 (January, 2020); 111- 115 Research Article Perspectives on the Concurrent Use of Traditional and Prescribed Antimicrobial Medicines for Infectious Diseases: A Triangulation Study in a South African Community *Kadima M.G., Mushebenger A.G and Nlooto M Discipline of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Westville Campus, University of KwaZulu –Natal, Durban 4000, South Africa. ABSTRACT Traditional medicines are generally available, affordable and commonly used as self-care treatments. However, their inaccurate utilization can results in adverse events, or unfavourable outcomes. Individuals may consult both traditional healer practitioners (THPs) and biomedically trained healthcare professionals (BHPs) for their infections. This study aimed at determining whether any antimicrobial resistance and treatment failure could occur among patients, attending outpatient departments of selected healthcare facilities, who used concurrently prescribed antimicrobial and traditional medicines. A survey was conducted to assess the perceptions, knowledges, attitudes and beliefs of respondents on the concurrent use of traditional and prescribed medicines for infections. 132 respondents were included namely THPs, THP’s patients, BHPs and BHP’s outpatients. A small number of medicinal plants were used in the treatment of infections and 65.62% of both THPs and their patients (21/32) reported mixing different herbs for the treatment of infections. Respondents agreed that the combination of traditional and prescribed medicines

The Chumash Indians of California use it to treat imbalances that women may suffer such as premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea and menopausal symptoms. The plant contains a sesquiterpene that appears to work through a serotonergic mechanism and may be beneficial for women. Mugwort therapy is safer for menopausal women than hormone replacement therapy. Children affected by attention deficit hy- peractivity disorder benefit from mugwort therapy. There is no doubt that mugwort therapy is safer for these children than methylphenidate or amphetamine.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Abstract Background: In South Africa, new amended regulations required a review of complementary and alternative medicine (CAMs) call-up for registration from November 2013. This impacted traditional healers (THs)’ compliance with the regulatory authorities’ on the good manufacturing practice which in return affected the public’s access to CAMs. This investigation embraces methods, THs use to diagnose and treat diabetes (DM) in Mamelodi. Furthermore, it assesses what their purported medications comprise of. It is fundamental to understand the functioning of the South African Health Products Regulatory Agency (SAHPRA). Regulations surrounding registration and post-marketing control of CAMs are crucial, needing a solution. Method: The study comprised of dedicated questionnaires, distributed amongst THs to gain knowledge on their diagnosis and identify the CAMs used. It also included non-structured surveys on pharmacies to identify and assess compliance of those CAMs with the SAHPRA (previously Medicines Control Council (MCC)) regulations.
