Nursing Experience of Indirect Moxibustion (Ginger-Separated Moxibustion) in Alleviating Chest Tightness in a Patient with Chest Impediment Heart Pain: A Case Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience of applying indirect moxibustion (ginger-separated moxibustion) to alleviate chest tightness in a patient diagnosed with chest impediment heart pain (unstable angina). The patient was a 65-year-old male admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of "intermittent chest pain and chest tightness for 8 years, aggravated for 1 day." Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, the condition was identified as phlegm-dampness obstruction pattern and qi-blood stasis pattern. In addition to conventional treatment and routine nursing care, ginger-separated moxibustion was performed at acupoints including Danzhong and Neiguan. By leveraging the warming and unblocking properties of moxibustion as well as the pungent-dispersing effect of fresh ginger, this intervention effectively relieved the patient's chest tightness and improved the quality of life. This article elaborates on the nursing assessment, operational procedure of ginger-separated moxibustion, key nursing points, and related experience, with the aim of providing a reference for clinical TCM nursing practice.
