The manipulations, range of application and characteristics of intensive moxibustion with ginger paste are discussed in this article. Adjustment is made on the base of traditional moxibustion with ginger slice. Fresh ginger is smashed, and the ginger paste is applied on acupoints. Two to 3 moxa sticks are ignited together in moxibustion at each point, and long duration of treatment of 30 to 60 min is adopted. The effects of the above mentioned moxibustion on dysfunction of the internal organs, postpartum diseases, hyperplasia, furuncle and diseases of bones, joints and muscles are obviously better than that of the traditional way. Thus, it is concluded that the effect of intensive moxibution with ginger paste is remarkable in promoting qi and blood circulation, warming up yang qi and regulating the functions of zang-fu organs. The potency of ginger can reach a deeper part with the heat produced by moxibustion. The heat is even and easy to be controlled. Moreover, the manipulation is simple, practical, safe and effective.
本文探讨了隔姜膏灸的操作方法、适用范围及特点。它是在传统隔姜片灸的基础上进行改良。将新鲜生姜捣成泥，制成姜膏贴于穴位上。每穴施灸时将2至3根艾条一起点燃，采用30至60分钟的长时间治疗。上述灸法对内脏功能失调、产后疾病、增生、疖肿以及骨骼、关节和肌肉疾病的疗效明显优于传统方法。由此得出结论，隔姜膏灸在促进气血循环、温养阳气和调节脏腑功能方面效果显著。姜的药力借助艾灸产生的热量能到达更深部位。热量均匀且易于控制。此外，操作简单、实用、安全且有效。
