Acupuncture and moxibustion show the advantages of simple operation and safety. It has remarkable curative effect in the treatment of RA, and has a variety of intervention methods, including conventional acupuncture, moxibustion, combination of acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as innovative acupuncture and moxibustion therapies such as electroacupuncture and spinal moxibustion.
