External Therapies

Moxibustion, bloodletting, cupping, medicinal baths and the kunye oil massage: the treatments applied to the body from outside.

This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before it is called finished.

When diet, conduct and medicine are not enough, the physician turns to the external therapies: moxibustion at specified points with a cone of burning herb; bloodletting from specified vessels; cupping; medicinal baths in mineral springs or herbal decoctions; and kunye, the oil massage. Each has its indications, its points and its cautions.

The pages here will present each therapy and the points at which it is applied.
