常用灸法:艾炷灸

直接灸

是將艾炷直接放在穴位皮膚上施灸的一種方法。若施灸時需將局部組織燙傷、化膿、愈后保留有瘢痕者，稱為瘢痕灸；若不使皮膚燒傷化膿，不留瘢痕者，稱為無瘢痕灸。

Direct Moxibustion

A moxa cone placed directly on the point and ignited is called direct moxibustion. It is subdivided into scarring moxibustion, and no scarring moxibustion, in the former, the local place is desired to be burnt, blistered and left with a scar when healed, and in the latter, moxibustion conducted on the points will not cause burning, blistering and scarring.醫(yī).學(xué) 全在.線提供www.med126.com
