ABSTRACT

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between quantity of suppurative moxibustion and its effect on allergic asthma. Methods: The patients were randomly divided into suppurative moxibustion 9 cones group, 3 cones group and 6 cones group. The biggest area, scar-losing time, suppurating time and scarring time of post-moxibustion sore, and the clinical effects of each group were observed. Results: The biggest post-moxibustion sore area of 9 cones group was bigger than 3 cones group but had no difference with 6 cones group,and scar-losing time, suppurating time and scarring time of post-moxibustion sore of each group were of no difference. The clinical effects of 9 cones were better than 3 cones group but have no difference with 6 cones group. Conclusion: The quantity of suppurative moxibustion is in close association with the effects in the treatment of allergic asthma, and eventually becomes the key factor for good results.
