We observed the influence of moxa-stick-moxi bustion at Dazhui(GV14) and Yanglingquan(GB34) on erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) in Bi syndrome(rheumatism) patients. Of 211 cases treated, 63 were cured, 78 remarkably improved, 52 improved, and 18 uneffective. The total effective rate was 91 .5%. Moxibustion functioned to quicken ESR. The therapeutic effect for the patients with short duration of rheumatism was the best after they had more than 26 times of treatment, prompting that early and contineous treatment should be taken for raising the therapeutic effect.
