摘要
Objective： To elucidate the key effects of moxibustion points and quantity of moxibustion used in order to enhance the curative effect of moxibustion therapy. Methods： It analyzed the occurrence rules of acupoint heat-sensitization and its relationship to the moxibustion location and dose, in view of the original definition of acupoints in Nei Jing （Internal Canon） and the acupoint heat-sensitization in clinical practice. Results： （1） The original definition of acupoint is the reflecting area of a disease on surface of the body, which is individualized, motive and sensitive; （2） The location in which heat-sensitization is generated relating to a heat-sensitive acupoint, which therefore depicts the best choice for point selection and also the most accurate area to give moxibustion; （3） The heat-sensitization time can be taken as a clinical index to quantify the moxibustion dose, in order to apply sufficient moxibustion for each individual. Conclusion： The key points for enhancing the curative effect of moxibustion therapy are to identify heat-sensitive points and a scientific moxibustion dose.
目的：阐述灸位、灸量在提高灸疗疗效中的关键作用。方法：从《内经》对腧穴内涵的原始定义及临床热敏灸感的现象入手，论述热敏灸感的出现规律、与灸位、灸量的关系。结果：（1）腧穴的原始内涵是指个体化的、动态的、敏化态的疾病在体表的反映部位；（2）产生热敏灸感的部位是热敏态穴位，是灸疗的最佳选穴，也是施灸的准确部位；（3）以热敏灸感消失所需时间可作为指导悬灸科学定量（即达到个体化的充足灸量）的临床可操作的实用指征。结论：探感定位、科学定量是提高灸疗疗效的关键。
