The literature records of fire therapy can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From 65438 to 0973, the silk books "Moxibustion Sutra of Eleven Veins in Foot and Arm" and "Moxibustion Sutra of Eleven Veins in Yin and Yang" are the earliest known monographs on meridians and the earliest medical classics recording fire moxibustion therapy.

Not everyone can operate fire therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. Like other therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, the operator must first be an experienced doctor. Secondly, the specific therapy needs to be combined with specific symptoms to configure Chinese herbal medicines, which is extremely difficult to operate. The whole process requires extremely high control of temperature, process and time.
