Purpose: To investigate the relationship between quantity of suppurative moxibustion and its effect on allergic asthma. Methods: The patients were randomly divided into suppurative moxibustion 9 cones group, 3 cones group and 6 cones group. The biggest area, scar-losing time, suppurating time and scarring time of post-moxibustion sore, and the clinical effects of each group were observed. Results: The biggest post-moxibustion sore area of 9 cones group was bigger than 3 cones group but had no difference with 6 cones group,and scar-losing time, suppurating time and scarring time of post-moxibustion sore of each group were of no difference. The clinical effects of 9 cones were better than 3 cones group but have no difference with 6 cones group. Conclusion: The quantity of suppurative moxibustion is in close association with the effects in the treatment of allergic asthma, and eventually becomes the key factor for good results.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between fester capacity and clinical efficacy on allergic asthma treated by scarring moxibustion.Methods:The patients were randomly divided into scarring moxibustion 9-cone group,3-cone group and 6-cone group.The biggest area,scab-lost time,first-festering time and scarring time of moxibustion sore,and the clinical efficacy in each group was observed.Results:The biggest post-moxibustion sore area in 9-cone group was larger than that in 3-cone group,but had no difference in comparison with 6-cone group;the scab-lost time,first-festering time and scarring time of post-moxibustion sore in each group were of no difference.The clinical efficacy was better in 9-cone group than in 3-cone group,but had no difference in comparison with the 6-cone group.Conclusion:Fester capacity in treating allergic asthma by scarring moxibustion is related to the clinical efficacy and definite fester capacity is the key to good results on allergic asthma.
