In moxibustion, the clinician ignites moxa, a traditional Chinese herb, to stimulate the same points of the body used in acupuncture. It is said to be more powerful than acupuncture. Quan-rong (acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Sichuan U.) closely describes the two main types of moxibustion, including the "burning" method, in which the moxa is burned directly on the patient's skin. He describes the materials, diagnosis and prescription methods, effects and indications, correct techniques, manipulation of reinforcing and reducing elements, operation procedures, dosages, blisters, scars, stages of healing, pain, and fainting. He also includes 21 conditions that can be treated by moxibustion, including thyroid cysts, nerve injury, rheumatoid arthritis, headache, chronic sigmoid colonitis and stubborn hiccup. Includes full clinical photographs.
