艾條灸是將艾絨卷成艾條，一端點燃，在離開穴位皮膚一定距離進行熏灸。根據操作方法分為溫和灸和雀啄灸。

Moxibustion with Moxa Stick

Roll the moxa wool with a sheet of paper into a moxa stick, apply a burning moxa stick with a certain distance apart over the selected point. There are two kinds of method: mild-warm moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion.

溫和灸

將艾條的一端點燃后，距施灸部位皮膚約2-3厘米處進行熏灸，使患者局部產生溫熱感而無灼痛為宜，一般每穴施灸15分鐘左右，以皮膚潮紅為度。本法適用于一切需要艾灸的病癥。醫(yī).學.全.在線.網.站.提供

Mild-Warm Moxibustion

Ignite a moxa stick at its one end and place it two to three centimeters away over the site to bring a mild warmth to the local place, but not burning, for some fifteen minutes until the skin becomes slightly red. It is suitable for all the syndromes indicated by moxibustion.

雀啄灸

本法施術時將艾條燃著的一端，對準皮膚施灸處一上一下如小鳥啄食一樣地施灸。另外也可均勻地上、下或左右方向移動或作反復地旋轉施灸。本法多用于治療肢體麻痛者。

"Sparrow-Pecking" Moxibustion

In this method, the ignited moxa stick is moved up and down over the point like a bird pecking or moving left and right, or circularly. It is indicated for numbness and pain of the limbs.
