To establish the physical dosage of moxibustion in normal human body by using moxibustion equipment for health care moxibustion,so as to provide basis for further study on the dosage range of moxibustion in patients. Methods:Before moxibustion,the instantaneous temperatures of acupoints at hands,feet,thorax,abdomen,waist and back,and their maximum endurance instantaneous temperatures were measured by self-made high-precision temperature sensor. The time of each acupoint to produce the maximum endurance instantaneous temperature was recorded. The physical dose of moxibustion at each acupoint was defined as follows:(instantaneous temperature before moxibustion + maximum endurance temperature)/ 2×(the time required to produce the maximum tolerance temperature). So,the physical dose range of moxibustion at each acupoint was to be established,and the differences of the physical dosage ranges among different parts of moxibustion were analyzed. Results:The physical dosage of moxibustion at each acupoint of yin meridians of hand was lower than that at each acupoint of yin meridians of foot,thorax and abdomen. The physical dosage of moxibustion at each acupoint of yang meridians of hand was lower than that at each acupoint of yang meridians of foot,waist and back. It suggested that the physical dosage of moxibustion at the hand meridian acupoint was lower than that at the acupoint of feet and trunk,indicating that compared with foot and trunk acupoints,hand acupoints were more sensitive to light and heat. Conclusion:Acupoints of different parts have certain dosage ranges. When moxibustion is carried out,the corresponding effect can be achieved as long as the dosage range of the acupoint is reached.
