Abstract
A large amount of published research on the potential immunological effects of direct moxibustion remains relatively unexplored in English. In Part One of this study we featured the many indicators in the classical literature of East Asian medicine which suggest that moxa was used in ways that almost certainly had effects on the immune system and also identified more recent research. Here we explore the more recent research evidence which is often inconsistent, and attempt to draw some useable ideas from it. We also suggest a possible mechanism by which moxa dosage may influence the type of immune response. The conclusions, though tentative, seem worthy of deeper exploration. Specific strategies are suggested which might facilitate this.
