Abstract

There is no systematic and whole-process system for moxibustion standard development at home and abroad, which restricts the industry innovation and technological progress to a certain extent. The paper reviews the study status and finds that the technical standard is dominant in moxibustion standard development currently, represented by conventional moxibustion, heat-sensitive moxibustion, moxibustion on the Governor Vessel, moxibustion with seed-size moxa cone and herb-isolated moxibustion, etc. There are many gaps in the standards development of moxibustion material and device, equipment building, moxa smoke purification, and management and job. On the basis of explaining the standard framework of moxibustion, it is suggested that the moxibustion standardization should be deepened in the aspects of hierarchical technical operation, material selection, research and development of new devices, personnel training and equipment management.

国内外尚没有针对灸法制定系统的、全流程的标准体系,在一定程度上制约了行业创新与技术进步。本文回顾既往研究现状,发现目前灸法标准主要集中在技术标准,以艾灸、热敏灸、督灸、麦粒灸、药泥灸等为代表。灸材、灸具的标准化,装备建设、艾烟净化、管理和工作标准等方面存在较多空白。本文在阐述灸法标准体系框架基础上,进一步提出了从技术分层操作、灸法选材、新型灸具研发、人才培养、装备管理等方面深入开展灸法标准化研究的建议。.
