The main purpose of formulating the operation specification of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation technology of wheat grain moxibustion is to standardize the management and guide the professional and technical personnel of traditional Chinese medicine to correctly use wheat grain moxibustion therapy. This standard focuses on the preparation before moxibustion (preparation of moxibustion cone for wheat grain moxibustion, acupoint selection and positioning, body position selection, other auxiliary supplies, patient preparation, environmental health requirements, disinfection) by formulating standards on the technical scope of wheat grain moxibustion, normative references, terms and definitions, operation steps and requirements, precautions, taboos, appendices, references, etc. The operation steps and requirements of moxibustion (moxibustion principle, operation steps of suppurative wheat grain moxibustion, operation steps of non suppurative wheat grain moxibustion), post-treatment of moxibustion and other operation steps shall be standardized. In addition, the preparation of moxa cone with wheat grain moxibustion, reinforcing and reducing techniques, the main functions and indications of wheat grain moxibustion rehabilitation technology are also standardized.
