Features: Moxibustion therapy is the main treatment method for curing diseases and promoting health in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as a core part of traditional Chinese medicine. Physicians used moxibustion therapy to treat illnesses, and common people also used it for health maintenance and longevity. Because moxibustion therapy is easy to master and has significant efficacy, it was widely used as a primary treatment and health maintenance method before the Republic of China.

It can guide grassroots medical workers and readers in practical applications. Each disease in the book is accompanied by detailed acupoint diagrams, making it convenient for readers without a medical background to perform the techniques.
