Figure 1

Moxa burner (a) and an example of moxibustion intervention (b). The participant (lay down) held two moxa burners applied to bilateral ST25, while the fellow participant held two burners applied to bilateral SP6 for the first 10 minutes. After the moxa burners were cleaned, the participant shifted two moxa burners to RN12 and RN6, while the fellow participant applied the moxa burners to bilateral ST36 for another 10 minutes. After a complete 20-minute intervention, the two participants swapped their positions for another 20-minute moxibustion treatment.
