Synopsis

From Light Direct Moxibustion to Indirect Moxibustion brings together two complementary moxibustion methods in one combined volume — the companion to Steven Zhang's Rice-Grain Moxibustion.

Part One — Light Direct Moxibustion. A gentle form of direct moxibustion: small moxa cones, refined hand technique, and a low threshold for the practitioner to begin. Steven Zhang calls it "a low-threshold, high-effect, benevolent craft." The chapters cover principles, hand skills, point selection through the sanjiao (triple burner) system and reaction points, and clinical cases.

The Bridge. A transitional section that leads the reader from light direct moxibustion into the indirect methods.

Part Two — Indirect Moxibustion. Organized around moxa, medicine, and tools: bamboo-bowl moxibustion, clay-bowl moxibustion, and Medicine King Jade, together with moxa-assisting powders, sanjiao positioning, and the control of smoke and temperature. Thirteen clinical cases and self-test questions close the volume.

With 117 illustrations throughout, this is a practical, case-based text for practitioners and advanced students of Chinese medicine who want to work with moxa beyond the basics.
