The continuous outbreak of avian influenza (flu)

A virus infections in humans seems not yet
controlled in several countries and regions. This
highly pathogenic influenza activity is still active
at large with risk epidemically. Death toll is
continued to rise!

Influenza is a common seasonal change

infectious disease which has a certain difference
when compares to common cold. At present,
there are many countries at the early stage of
autumn. According to the 5 elements and 6
pathogenic factors theory in the formation and
treatment of disease, we need to be alert and do
adequate preventive measures, treating the
disease before its onset.
Influenza is an illness caused by viruses that
attack our body system. 《Huang Di Nei Jing》,
“Body with abundant internal energy, won’t be
invaded by pathogens”. When there is disorder
of human body organs, energy is relatively weak,
insufficient defensive ability, imbalance of yin
and yang, or with endogenous pathogen factors,
the exogenous pathogens will take its advantage
to attack our body that will affect the normal
functions of body organs, meridians resulting in
disease formation.

In traditional Chinese medicine, we have the

“Highest Level Method in Preventing Diseases”,
aside from disease prevention; it includes
treating disease before its onset, preventing its
recurrence; and minimizing the chance to
become disabled and so on. Chinese
Moxibustion has the warming yang effect and
enhancing our body resistance, a better effect in
resisting and preventing influenza virus invasion.
Through the moxibustion heat stimulating on the
corresponding acupoints and meridians could
have effect in conditioning the fever, cough,
fatigue and other symptoms caused by the flu
and curing the disease radically.

The following are the 5 basic applicable

acupoints used in moxibustion for the prevention
of influenza:
1. Zusanli (ST36): the first step in the prevention
