The thermal and antiradical properties of indirect moxibustion stimulation were investigated by thermal qualitative and spectroscopic methods. The thermal effect of indirect moxibustion was mainly dependent on the spacing distance between the moxa and skin, and not on the moxa weight. The radical scavenging activities of moxa and moxa-tar were measured by a photometric absorbance method, chemical reaction with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl. The obtained results indicate that the inhibitory effects of moxa and moxa-tar on superoxide production are due to the radical scavenging mechanism.
采用热定性和光谱方法研究了间接艾灸刺激的热性能和抗自由基性能。间接艾灸的热效应主要取决于艾绒与皮肤之间的间距，而不是艾绒的重量。通过光度吸收法、与1,1 - 二苯基 - 2 - 苦基肼的化学反应来测定艾绒和艾焦油的自由基清除活性。所得结果表明，艾绒和艾焦油对超氧化物产生的抑制作用是由于自由基清除机制。
