Abstract
Objective: To observe the inhibiting tumor effect of moxibustion serum on the tumor-bearing mice. Methods: The mice were transplanted with C57BL/6 mouse thymus cells to form solid tumor and were intraperitoneally injected with moxibustion serum. The tumor growth and survival time of tumor-bearing mice were recorded. Results: The moxibustion serum could significantly postpone the formation of tumor nodules. Compared with the tumor-bearing group, tumor nodules formation time of all treatment groups was delayed and the survival time of the tumor-bearing mice was prolonged. Besides, the inhibiting tumor effect of moxibustion serum in the pre-treatment group was better than that in the moxibustion serum treatment group. Moxibustion acts specifically on acupoints. Conclusion: The moxibustion serum had obvious anti-tumor effects.
