These protocols show how moxibustion is applied where cold and deficiency predominate. Cold stomach pain uses CV12 and ST36 with ginger moxibustion; dysmenorrhoea uses CV4, SP6 and LR3 with warming; chronic diarrhoea uses CV8 with salt moxibustion and ST36; asthma in remission uses GV14, BL13 and CV17; facial paralysis uses local points with mild-warm moxibustion once the acute phase has passed.
Prolapse of the rectum uses Baihui (GV20), the classical point for lifting. Malposition of the fetus is treated by moxibustion at BL67, a technique with a genuine body of trial evidence and a clear contraindication to its use where the position is already correct.
