The method of moxibustion refers to a type of moxibustion therapy that involves spreading moxa wool on certain acupuncture points. It achieves the therapeutic purpose through various methods such as burning, warming, applying heat, and sunlight exposure. This method involves both the exploration of folk methods and the innovation of traditional methods. It differs from conventional moxibustion in several ways. Firstly, the heating methods are diverse, not limited to using only burning moxa wool. Secondly, some moxibustion techniques in this category require a higher level of skill due to larger treatment areas, longer treatment times, and certain limitations on the recipients of the treatment, which can increase the risk of accidents. Lastly, while the range of diseases and conditions that can be treated with moxibustion in this method is generally more specific, the effects are often unique. Of course, many of these moxibustion techniques still require further improvement and refinement through clinical practice.
