Abstract
The effect and biological mechanism of moxibustion are the research priority in recent years, in which termal effect is the main factor during moxibustion and an important role for its therapeutic effect. Thermal effect of moxibustion is related to temperature in a certain degree, and closely linked with distance. In this study, we applied mild moxibustion to different acupoints at distances of 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm to observe the occurrenceand frequency of sensation under different circumstances, and evaluated with mild moxibustion scale to explore the correlation between sensation and distance.
