어떤 것인가
A self-care form of warming acupuncture points with the heat of mugwort (moxa). In Japan, stick-on or pedestal moxa (for example Sennen-kyu) is widely sold for home use. It is used for feeling cold, tiredness, and digestive discomfort.
짧은 안내（치료 지시가 아닙니다）
- Always follow the instructions and use a product with temperature control, such as one with a pedestal. Do not handle fire casually on your own.
- Try only on skin with normal sensation, starting with a short time.
- Remove it at once if it feels too hot. Do not stack too many on the same spot.
- Fully extinguish used moxa before discarding it.

C: 예비적·소규모·질이 낮은 연구, 또는 결과가 섞여 있다. 지나쳐 읽지 말 것
There are several systematic reviews of moxibustion, but quality is low and conclusions about effects vary with the conditions. Large studies of the safety and usefulness of home pedestal moxa are limited.

주의
Burns are the main risk. Reduced sensation, use during sleep, and open flame near children are dangerous. People sensitive to smoke should still take care, even with lower-smoke products.
불안할 때, 지병이 있거나 임신 중이거나 약을 쓰는 경우에는 자격을 갖춘 전문가와 상담하세요.
하지 않는 편이 나은 경우
- Reduced sensation, for example from diabetic neuropathy
- The abdomen and lumbosacral area in pregnancy
- Near the face or mucous membranes
- Areas without skin sensation, infection, or marked swelling
- Settings where open flame is forbidden
