“…For the treatment of allergic diseases, moxibustion is convenient, produces a stable long-term effect, and decreases the severity of relapse. In TCM theory, moxibustion can warm the channels and stimulate the self-repairing capability of the meridian systems, thus facilitating vital qi and regulating zangfu function to improve constitution for the prevention and treatment of AR [28].…”

Introduction: The incidence of allergic rhinitis (AR) has risen dramatically in recent years, and presents with higher symptom frequency, affecting quality of life. Clinical research shows that conventional medical treatment can rapidly relieve AR symptoms; however, there is a high incidence of relapse. Moxibustion treatment reportedly has a good effect in reducing the relapse rate. However, trial-based evidence for the effectiveness of these combined treatments is necessary.

“…Many research articles have investigated the effects these strategies can have when combined. However, there is very limited evidence of moxibustion being used alone [4]. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese method that is "a therapeutic heat that permeates the skin and affects the flow of "qi" (energy) and blood in the area being treated".…”

Abstract. Moxibustion has been known by more and more people as a traditional Chinese treatment technique. Although the mechanism of moxibustion is not clear, the therapeutic effect of moxibustion is obvious to all. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether moxibustion can alleviate the fatigue state after the movement of human body by means of biomechanics testing. Therefore, analysis of hip, knee and ankle kinematics during forefoot landing from a vertical jump and comparison of moxibustion treatment versus no treatment could identify further evidence of its practicality when dealing with exercise induced fatigue. The joint angle and the angular velocity of the joint were obtained from Vicon motion anakysis system, and peak vGRF and time was measure with Kistler. Overall, it can be concluded that moxibustion can have a direct effect on a UK citizens vertical jump lower limb kinematics during a fatigued state. This was particularly evident within the significant differences between peak knee angle during the take-off phase and peak ankle angle during the take-off and landing phases. Furthermore, statistically significant differences between the vertical jumps angular velocity of the knee and hip joints provide further evidence that moxibustion treatments physiological adaptations can alter and improve vertical jump biomechanics. Moreover, not only did moxibustion treatment improve peak angles and angular velocity, statistically significant differences in jump time were evident providing further evidence that moxibustion can in fact improve fatigued individuals jumping kinematics, but there is no significant different in peak vGRF. Evidence from these results could perhaps suggest that moxibustion could be used as an injury preventative measure to reduce fatigue and aid performance. Further investigation with a larger sample size and perhaps an alternative control is required to further validate these findings.
