Although Moxibustion was born before acupuncture, these two healing methods have been inextricably United, since - after practicing both methods of treatment in isolation during centuries - Chinese doctors discovered that there were many relationships between these two therapies. Both cure diseases acting on certain points, selected on the basis of the theory of channels and collaterals of the traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition, also found with clinical practice that the results obtained were better if combined both therapies than if used alone one of them. This shows that these techniques are not only compatible and complementary, but also they excite each other.

For to do, are placed on cones (also called "pyramids") made from "Artemis" directly on the corresponding points, according to the prescribed treatment.2 . Indirect moxibustion: This method began to use later as an alternative to direct moxibustion. Can be applied in several different ways:
a) Moxibustion with insulating substance: this method consists of applying it using some material way of insulating material interposed between the skin and the Moxa cone. The latter tends to be about three millimeters in thickness and be leaky.
The insulation used for centuries for this function are slices of garlic or ginger, and salt.
Currently a few cones of cardboard or cardboard inside which the Moxa is deposited are used as insulation. Its design allows that this is separated from the skin by about three millimeters thick.
