On the evening of February 28th, 2020, in response to an invitation of the Ma’s Moxibustion WeChat Group, I shared how I, an individual person living in Wuhan, have been trying to keep fit and prevent from being infected by the novel coronavirus or by any other diseases. Here comes the details of what I have shared.
Since mid-December 2019, cases of unexplained pneumonia with fever, fatigue, cough and dyspnea have been reported in Wuhan.The World Health Organization has confirmed that the cause of such cases is a novel coronavirus. The pneumonia caused by this virus is referred to as the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP).
On January 23rd, 2020 (2 days before China’s Spring Festival ), by closing all the passages leaving Wuhan, Wuhan became a closed city, and nearly 10 million Wuhan residents, including me and my husband, began to stay at home in quarantine. Up till today (Mar. 13th) , I have been staying home without going out for 51 days.
Under such circumstances, as residents of Wuhan, what can each of us do and how should we live to help ourselves survive the epidemic and return to our normal life with physical and mental well-being?
To this question, a response can be found in an article entitled “My child, see that you learn something of traditional Chinese medicine after the end of the epidemic!”, issued in Ma’s Moxibustion Wechat Subscription: “Live a life of your own, and traditional Chinese medicine will safeguard you.”
And that fits well with the answer I’m going to offer today. My answer is:
Learn and try to live an ecologically healthy life.
An ecologically healthy life refers to a type of life that is filled with ecological wisdom.
According to the idea of ancient Chinese philosophy that all things of different structures are from the same origin and are universally connected, a basic rule of ecological wisdom is that we humans should respect and follow the natural law, affirm that human and other things in the world are in consistency with each other, understand the complex and changeable ecological relations in the world, and live and develop in accordance with them healthily and sustainably.
This is in agreement with the organic integral concept about the universe, held by thinkers of constructive postmodernism based on Whitehead’s philosophy, that “human and nature are of one life community.” Each individual human being is an organic part of nature on the one hand, and a relatively ecological whole on the other hand.
In this sense, we can find wisdom in many traditional practices and sources of wisdom:
Therefore, to live an ecologically healthy life means to live a type of simple, natural, balanced, harmonious and normal life.
How can we live such an ecologically healthy life?
I. Not letting our emotions go to extremes, or we can be physically hurt
Huangdi Neijing (Huang Di’s Canon of Internal Medicine) discusses the basic principle of inter-resistance of emotions (one emotion suppressing another) in detail, which we can use as the guiding ideology for self-cultivation and emotion adjustment while staying at home in quarantine:
The leading emotion of liver is anger, so excessive anger can hurt liver, while sorrow can suppress anger (metal restricting wood / lung restricting liver). The leading emotion of heart is joy, so excessive joy can hurt heart, while fear can suppress joy (water restricting fire / kidney restricting heart). The leading emotion of spleen is anxiety, so excessive anxiety can hurt spleen, while anger can suppress anxiety (wood restricting soil / liver restricting spleen). The leading emotion of lung is sorrow, so excessive sorrow can hurt lung, while joy can suppress sorrow ( fire restricting metal / heart restricting lung). The leading emotion of kidney is fear, so excessive fear can hurt kidney, while anxiety can suppress fear (soil restricting water / spleen restricting kidney).

- the pneumatism (jing-qi theory),
- the yin-yang theory,
- the five-element theory,
- the meridian and collateral theory,
- the systematic holistic perspective of Chinese philosophy and culture
- the syndrome differentiation treatment thought of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the three main methods of TCM treatment – acupuncture, moxibustion and medicine
Therefore, to live an ecologically healthy life means to live a type of simple, natural, balanced, harmonious and normal life.

II. Living regularly
Try to be a normal (healthy) person -- do the right thing at the right time, otherwise we can get physically hurt.
Do the right thing at the right time: Follow the meridian flow sequence, and conduct the livelihood routines (including eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, etc.) naturally!
The time each of the 12 main channels at work
- The period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. (子时): Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel of Foot is at work, when gallbladder secretes bile, which can aid digestion. It’s the right time for us to be sound asleep. It’s not the right time for us to eat or drink, or to have midnight snack, for it can increase burden for gallbladder, and may bring about various health problems, such as gaining weight.
- The period of the day from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. (丑时): Jueyin Liver Channel of Foot is at work. It’s a time for liver to perform its functions, and lying down and sleeping is the right way to support it, so it’s the right time for us to be sound asleep. Staying up late may do harm to liver and bring about various health problems related to the liver system, such as insomnia and patches on the skin.
- The period of the day from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. (寅时): Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand is at work. It’s the right time for lung to perform its functions, and for our body to enjoy deep sleep. It’s more possible for those with lung diseases to cough at this time.
- The period of the day from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. (卯时): Yangming Large-intestine Channel of Hand is at work. It’s a time for large intestine to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to get up, and to defecate (eliminate toxins).
- The period of the day from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (辰时): Yangming Stomach Channel of Foot is at work. It’s a time for stomach to perform its functions, and so it’s the right time for us to have breakfast.
- The period of the day from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (巳时): Taiyin Spleen Channel of Foot is at work. It’s a time for spleen to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to feel energetic and to work effectively.
- The period of the day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (午时): Shaoyin Heart Channel of Hand is at work. It’s a time for heart to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to calm down and to have lunch.
- The period of the day from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (未时): Taiyang Small-intestine Channel of Hand is at work. It’s a time for small intestine to perform its functions, It’s the right time for us to have midday break, absorb nutrients, and relieve from fatigue.
- The period of the day from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. (申时): Taiyang Bladder Channel of Foot is at work. It’s a time for bladder to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to work, and to defecate and eliminate toxins.
- The period of the day from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. (酉时): Shaoyin Kidney Channel of Foot is at work. It’s a time for kidney to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to have supper.
- The period of the day from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (戌时): Jueyin Pericardium Channel of Hand is at work. It’s a time for pericardium to perform its functions, and so it’s the right time for us to work or study, or to go dating, for we tend to be excited and passionate, and may be touched more easily.
- The period of the day from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. (亥时): Shaoyang Triple- energizer Channel of Hand is at work. It’s a time for triple energizer to perform its functions, so it’s the right time for us to go to bed early and enjoy beauty sleep.
In fact, while one channel is on duty at due time, all the other channels are supportive by working regularly and naturally, so that our body turns out to be an ecological whole, and enables us to be a normal (healthy) person.
III. Being temperate in eating and drinking
According to the Confucian idea that “there is something we can do and something we cannot do”, we should know “what to eat / drink and what not to eat / drink”, “when to eat / drink and when not to eat / drink”, and “how many times to eat / drink a day and how much to eat / drink at a time”, and try to carry it out in our daily life.
As far as eating is concerned, we should eat a variety of food, cereals, something soft rather than hard, and do our to follow the four “do-not-eat” rules:
- Do not eat untimely: Do not eat what is not in season, and do not eat when it is not the right time to eat.
- Do not eat unsuitably: Do not eat things unsuitable for our age, and do not eat things unsuitable for our physical constitution.
- Do not eat wrongly: Do not eat things that are not local, and do not eat things that can not and should not be eaten.
- Do not eat coldly: Do not eat things that are cold and uncooked. Do eat things that are warm and cooked at any time. Always keep this in mind and observe it: “Never let your stomach make uncooked things cooked; never let your stomach make cold things warm.”
IV. Combining labor and leisure appropriately
- Do daily housework.
- Do Chinese physical and breathing exercises, including Chinese health qigong, tai chi and kneeling. When it comes to Chinese health qigong, the following are included: Baduan Jin, Wuqin Xi, Da Wu, Mawangdui Daoyinshu, Liuzi Jue, Yijin Jing, Shierduan Jin, etc.
V. My personal experience of keeping fit & preventing disease
Follow the traditional Chinese medical wisdom -- “taking preventive measures before the occurrence of disease”, and adhere to green self-supportive health care in daily life:
- Enjoy moxibustion and scraping therapy all the year round.
- Create and do wake-up morning exercise (the whole process lasting about 45 minutes):
- Push and knead the chest and abdomen (using bian-stone).
- Massage the face.
- Care the eyes and keep them healthy -- press the eyebrow acupoints, and scrape the eye socket.
- Massage the head with the ten fingers.
- Knead the ears.
- Do ankle exercise.
Create and do hand exercise (the whole process lasting about 30 minutes);
- Knock the ten fingertips.
- Knock the finger-junctions
- Clap the palms.
- Clap the hand backs.
- Knock the Hegu Acupoint (合谷穴) of one hand with the Houxi Acupoint (后溪穴) of the other hand.
- Wiggle the fingers of one hand with the fingers of the other hand.
- Wiggle the wrist of one hand with the other hand.
- Twirl the two wrists.
- Rub down the ten fingers one by one (from the roots to the tips).
VI. Ready to help others
Here is what I have personally tried online to help others to prevent from being infected by the NCP, or to deal with and recover from other diseases:
- Make use of WeChat groups and friend-circle to spread the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine and the function of the moxibustion therapy in particular, and share messages of safety.
- Respond to questions that my relatives and friends ask about their health conditions, and direct them to take care of themselves and their family members from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine: try to maintain in balance their mentality, diet and physical exercise, etc., and do moxibustion and scrapping regularly.
- Help 3 friends deal with common cold by doing moxibustion, who rapidly got relieved, and recovered in three or so days.
- Help an 81-year-old woman deal with acute urethritis by using Chinese mugwort: fumigating and washing with hot water with mugwort leaves boiled in it, and doing moxibustion afterwards. She got relieved almost immediately after she received the treatment, and recovered within two days.
- Help an 83-year-old man, a diabetic patient, deal with constipation by kneading his abdomen and doing moxibustion. He received such treatment that very night, and managed to defecate the next morning.
- Help an 60-year-old man deal with the onset of cholelithiasis by doing scrapping and moxibustion. He got relieved almost immediately after he received the treatment, and recovered in about a week.
- Help an 42-year-old man deal with retention of food by doing scrapping and moxibustion. He got relieved on the very day after he received the treatment, and recovered in 3 days.
VII. Reward of living so
What kind of physical, mental and living conditions can the above-mentioned lifestyle bring about?
Myself: Such an ecologically-healthy lifestyle brings me physical and mental balance. Nearly four years of continuous moxibustion therapy has cured me of quite a lot of health problems, major and minor, such as: cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of shoulder, sleep problems, hashimoto's thyroiditis, cholecystitis, pompholyx, constipation, and cracked heels, etc..
My family members and friends: They are all healthy and in peace and harmony, with none of them infected by the novel coronavirus, serious as the condition in Wuhan and Hubei is. Moxibustion therapy is one of the means to help protect them.
Conclusion
Our body won’t be attacked by any ill qi when it is filled with healthy qi (正气存内，邪不可干). The concept of leading an ecologically healthy life can lead us to living a simple, natural, balanced, harmonious and normal life, maintaining our healthy qi and resisting ill qi and epidemic. I hope more people can join us and benefit from it.
May there be no disease in the world！
Living an Ecologically Healthy Life
(Chinese version)
过一种生态健康的生活
——新冠疫情之下一个身居武汉之人的养生防疫
谢邦秀
湖北警官学院
2020年2月28日晚，应马氏温灸微信群的邀请，作为一个在新冠疫情期间身居武汉之人，我分享了我个人在养生防疫、强身健体、守护亲友方面的所作所为。
2019年12月中旬以来，武汉出现了以发热、乏力、咳嗽、呼吸不畅为主要症状的不明原因肺炎病例。世界卫生组织确认这类病例的病原为新型冠状病毒，该病原感染所致的肺炎称为新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎。从2020年1月23日（腊月29）开始，武汉封城隔离，我与900多万武汉居民一样被要求居家隔离，至今（3月13日）已有51天不曾出家门。
在这种情形下，作为武汉居民，我们每一个人能做什么、应该怎样生活才能助我们挺过疫情期，以健康的身心回归属于我们自己的正常生活呢？
马氏温灸订阅号的一篇推文“孩子疫情过后，你一定要懂点中医！”中给出了一种解答：“过属于你自己的生活，而中医会守佑着你。”
这与我今天要给出的答案不谋而合。我的答案是：学会并努力过一种生态健康的生活。一种生态健康的生活指的是一种充溢着生态智慧的生活。
根据中国古代哲学万物同源异构和普遍联系的观念，生态智慧的一个基本准则是尊重自然规律，肯定物我之间同体相合，强调人必须顺应自然，理解复杂多变的生态关系，并在其中健康生存，有机发展。这与以怀特海哲学为基础的建设性后现代思想秉持的“人与自然是一个生命共同体”的宇宙有机整体观相契合。每一个人既是自然的一个有机组成部分，同时也是一个相对独立的生态整体。
从这个意义上看，中医的精气学说、阴阳五行学说、经络学说、系统整体观、辨证论治的诊疗思想，以及中医治病的三大主要方法——针、灸、药，都充溢着生态智慧。
因此，过一种生态健康的生活指的是过一种简单的、自然的、平衡的、和谐的、正常的生活。
怎样过这样一种生态健康的生活呢？
一、情志不过，过则伤身
《黄帝内经》具体论述了情志相胜的基本原理，可以作为隔离在家期间自我养心、调理情志的指导思想：
肝在志为怒，怒伤肝，忧胜怒（金克木/肺克肝）；心在志为喜，喜伤心，恐胜喜（水克火/肾克心）；脾在志为思，思伤脾，怒胜思（木克土/肝克脾）；肺在志为忧，忧伤肺，喜胜忧（火克金/心克肺）；肾在志为恐，恐伤肾，思胜恐（土克水/脾克肾）。

二、起居有时，乱则为害
做一个正常（健康）的人——在对的时间做对的事情，倒行逆施则伤身。
在对的时间做对的事情：遵循子午流注规律，顺应自然地吃喝拉撒睡！
1. 子时23：00-01：00足少阳胆经当令，此时胆分泌胆汁，助消化，宜熟睡；不宜吃夜宵，不然会增加胆经负担，导致发胖等问题。
2. 丑时01：00-03：00足厥阴肝经当令，此时宜熟睡，不宜熬夜，熬夜易伤肝、长斑等。
3. 寅时03：00-05：00手太阴肺经当令，此时宜熟睡，易咳嗽。呼吸系统疾病。
4. 卯时05：00-07：00手阳明大肠经当令，要早起，排便（排毒）。
5. 辰时07：00-09：00足阳明胃经当令，此时宜吃早餐。
6. 巳时09：00-11：00足太阴脾经当令，此时宜学习、工作。
7. 午时11：00-13：00手少阴心经当令，此时宜吃午餐。
8. 未时13：00-15：00手太阳小肠经当令，此时宜午休、吸收养分。
9. 申时15：00-17：00足太阳膀胱经当令，此时宜学习、工作、排毒。
10. 酉时17：00-19：00足少阴肾经当令，此时宜吃晚餐。
11. 戌时19：00-21：00手厥阴心包经当令，此时人易兴奋、紧张，宜学习、工作、谈情说爱——“人约黄昏后”。
12. 亥时21：00-23：00手少阳三焦经当令，此时宜上床睡美容觉。
事实上，在一条经脉当令之时，所有各条经脉也都在以自然的、循规蹈矩的运行来支持当令经脉的工作，使我们的身体作为一个有机的生态整体，使我们成为正常的（健康的）人。
三、食饮有节，过则受病
遵循道家“有所为有所不为”思想，做到“有所食有所不食”。
就食而言，我们应遵循如下原则：
1. 食：多样食物、五谷杂粮、吃软不吃硬。
2. 四“不食”：
四、动静相宜、劳逸结合
1. 做家务。
2. 习练中医导引术：习练健身气功+太极拳+跪立/跪行。健身气功包括：八段锦、五禽戏、大舞、马王堆导引术、六字诀、易筋经、十二段锦等。
五、未病先防，固护正气
遵循中医“未病先防”的上医思想，在日常生活中坚持自助绿色保健养生：
1. 常年用灸法、砭法调养身体，扶正固本。
2. 自创晨醒保健操（全过程45分钟左右）：
推揉胸、腹部（砭石）+面部拨筋按摩+眼部保健（点按眼眉部穴位、轮刮眼眶）+十指按摩头部+捏耳+做脚踝部运动。
3. 自创手部保健操（全过程30分钟左右）：
十个手指头对敲、十指缝交叉对敲、手掌心对拍、手背对拍、左右手后溪-合谷对敲、左右手互扭手指、左右手互扭手腕、转动手腕、逐一捋捏十指（从指根到指尖）。
六、乐天善助，守护亲朋
在线（微信）传递正能量，指导亲友用中医的思路和方法保健防疫。
1. 在微信群和朋友圈弘扬中医思想、传播艾能量、报平安。
2. 答疑解惑，指导亲朋中医养生：心态、饮食、运动、艾灸、刮痧等。
3. 帮助调理普通感冒三例：咳嗽、咽痛，指导艾灸，快速缓解，三至五天痊愈。
4. 尿道炎急性发作一例（女，81岁）：指导她用艾叶煮水熏洗+艾灸，当晚缓解症状，两天痊愈。
5. 糖尿病患者便秘一例（男，83岁）：长期靠喝罗汉果水帮助排便；指出谬误，指导揉腹+艾灸（马氏温灸七日循环灸），当晚开始实施，第二天就见效。
6. 胆结石发作、胸䐽气胀一例（男，60岁）：刮痧+艾灸，当天缓解，第二天症状消失，一周左右复原。
7. 成人积食一例（男，42岁）：指导刮痧+艾灸，当天缓解，第二天症状消失，三天复原。
七、这样生活的福报
如上所述的生活方式会带来什么样的身心状况和生活情形呢？
我自己：这样一种生态健康的生活方式让我如今身心康泰！近四年的持续灸疗，调理好了我自己身体上一些大大小小的健康问题：颈椎病、肩周炎、睡眠问题、桥本氏甲状腺炎、胆囊炎、汗疱疹、便秘、足跟干裂等。
家人亲朋：尽管武汉和湖北疫情严重，但我的家人亲友中无一人感染新冠病毒。他们若身体有恙，基本上都用中医的方式特别是灸法解决，均健康、平安、和谐。
结语：
正气存内，邪不可干。生态健康的生活理念可以引领我们去过一种简单的、自然的、平衡的、和谐的正常生活，养护正气，抵御邪疫。期盼更多的人走进这种生活方式，从中受益。
愿天下无病！

六、乐天善助，守护亲朋
在线（微信）传递正能量，指导亲友用中医的思路和方法保健防疫。
1. 在微信群和朋友圈弘扬中医思想、传播艾能量、报平安。
2. 答疑解惑，指导亲朋中医养生：心态、饮食、运动、艾灸、刮痧等。
3. 帮助调理普通感冒三例：咳嗽、咽痛，指导艾灸，快速缓解，三至五天痊愈。

七、这样生活的福报
如上所述的生活方式会带来什么样的身心状况和生活情形呢？
我自己：这样一种生态健康的生活方式让我如今身心康泰！近四年的持续灸疗，调理好了我自己身体上一些大大小小的健康问题：颈椎病、肩周炎、睡眠问题、桥本氏甲状腺炎、胆囊炎、汗疱疹、便秘、足跟干裂等。
家人亲朋：尽管武汉和湖北疫情严重，但我的家人亲友中无一人感染新冠病毒。他们若身体有恙，基本上都用中医的方式特别是灸法解决，均健康、平安、和谐。
结语：
正气存内，邪不可干。生态健康的生活理念可以引领我们去过一种简单的、自然的、平衡的、和谐的正常生活，养护正气，抵御邪疫。期盼更多的人走进这种生活方式，从中受益。
愿天下无病！
