Introduction

According to the principles of TCM, Acupuncture must be combined with Moxibustion as the word ‘Acupuncture’ means “needle and burn” (針灸- zhen jiu). In early 70’s the technique of acupuncture is widely adopted by Western countries, but during the transfer of intervention knowledge the moxibustion component was missed unfortunately. Since then, therapists started exploring benefits of acupuncture without moxibustion more often.

Acupuncture and moxibustion have been used to treat a variety of diseases for over thousand years. In past, researches have shown that acupuncture is one of effective and safe treatments for musculoskeletal pains, depression, anxiety, IBS, infertility, digestion issues. In acupuncture treatment, healing is achieved through mechanical stimulation by needling and thermal stimulation induced by moxibustion, respectively. Moxibustion is an important part of acupuncture therapy as it has anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic effects and immunomodulator effects, further it provides tonification and purgation. Acupuncture treatment combine moxibustion will lead to optimum therapeutic outcomes.
