When moxibustion is applied, one end of the moxa stick is lit, aimed at Shu point or the affected part, about 2-3 cm away from the skin, and smoked to make the patient feel warm locally without burning pain. Generally, moxibustion on each part lasts 10- 15 minutes until the skin turns red.

For patients with fainting and local insensitivity, the middle finger and forefinger can be placed on both sides of the moxibustion site separately, and the local heating degree of the patient can be measured by the feeling of the fingers, so as to adjust the moxibustion distance at any time and prevent burns.
