RESUMO
From the three perspectives, skin stress response, medication-acupoint effect and neuroendocrine-immune system, this article discussed the action mechanism of vesiculation moxibustion therapy, to provide scientific evidence for the development of this therapy and to enhance its therapeutic efficacy.
RESUMO
As a classical external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, blistering moxibustion has significant curative effect on asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders, which suggests that it has certain immunoregulation effect. When stimulated, skin immune system evokes innate immune or acquired immune systems, including dendritic cells (DC), a type of crucial cell related to acquired immunity. From the classification and function of DC, especially the differentiation, migration and maturation of DC in local skin after blistering moxibustion. This article was to discuss the possible ways of immunoregulation of DC in local skin after blistering moxibustion, so as to provide reference for the study on immunoregulatory mechanism of blistering moxibustion.
