Mild-Warm Moxibustion

Ignite a moxa stick at its one end and place it two to three centimeters away over the site to bring a mild warmth to the local place, but not burning, for some fifteen minutes until the skin becomes slightly red. It is suitable for all the syndromes indicated by moxibustion.

雀啄灸

本法施術(shù)時將艾條燃著的一端，對準(zhǔn)皮膚施灸處一上一下如小鳥啄食一樣地施灸。另外也可均勻地上、下或左右方向移動或作反復(fù)地旋轉(zhuǎn)施灸。本法多用于治療肢體麻痛者。

"Sparrow-Pecking" Moxibustion

In this method, the ignited moxa stick is moved up and down over the point like a bird pecking or moving left and right, or circularly. It is indicated for numbness and pain of the limbs.
