WL: wavelength, NC: normal control group, MC: model control group, HPM: herb-partition moxibustion, GPM: ginger-partition moxibustion, GLM: garlic-partition moxibustion, WM: warming moxibustion. The intensity of infrared radiation of the left-hand-side ST25 showed significant differences between normal rats and model rats (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). After moxibustion stimulations, the intensity of infrared radiation of ST25 in moxibustion groups were significantly different from those of the model groups (^ΔP < 0.05, ^ΔΔP < 0.01).
