Abstract:
Chuan Ya Wai Bian (External Therapies of Folk Medicine), compiled by ZHAO Xue-min, a medical expert in Qing Dynasty, is abundant in folk external therapies including acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint sticking therapies, which all have unique features. Folk acupuncture-moxibustion is an important part of acupuncture- moxibustion therapy, playing a role that can't be replaced by conventional acupuncture-moxibustion. It's worth exploring and needs constant improvements to adapt to the requirement of modern medicine, which is also significant for boosting the development of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy.
