Moxibustion therapy with medication is a method of applying moxibustion by applying medication to acupuncture points or affected areas, so it is also called medication moxibustion. Most of the medications used are traditional Chinese medicines, but in recent years, some people have also used Western medicines for moxibustion. Generally, single Chinese herbal medicines are used, but compound moxibustion can also be used. Although this moxibustion method includes "heavenly moxibustion" and some "medication moxibustion" methods, because the medications used in "heavenly moxibustion", operation requirements, and precautions have their own characteristics, this book will discuss them separately for clinical application.
