Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 10/27/09
Pach D et al. – Study results showed that only a small proportion of the IR radiation emitted by moxa sticks is capable of affecting subepidermal tissue. This finding indicates that thermal effects of moxa sticks are caused primarily by superficial effects on the skin. Because most heat receptors are located in the superficial skin, it thus appears impossible to separate the effects of moxa sticks from the sensation of heat. These results should be taken into account while developing placebo or sham moxibustion devices.
