A Unique Electrical Thermal Stimulation System Comparable to Moxibustion of Subcutaneous Tissue

Figure 1

Schematic illustration of the commercial indirect moxibustion apparatus used in the present study. Heat is transferred through the cylindrical moxa pillar (top left). The paper plate (top right) serves as a buffer between the pillar and skin and is similarly cylindrical with a central hole. Moxa pillar and paper buffer dimensions are shown (bottom).
