Explanation of the Evolution of Governor Vessel Moxibustion and Its New Instrument Design

Abstract

Governor Vessel moxibustion, as a traditional external therapy, has obtained extensive clinical application and promotion in recent years. Through systematic collation of relevant literature, this paper conducts comprehensive analysis and elucidation regarding the theoretical foundations, historical origins, evolutionary trajectory, and characteristics of different schools of Governor Vessel moxibustion. Addressing existing limitations in current practices, we propose a novel Governor Vessel moxibustion device design aiming to facilitate operational standardization and protocolization, thereby providing new perspectives for the advancement and clinical implementation of this technique.
