Herpes zoster patients can be treated with moxibustion, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification. Clusters of red herpes may appear in the early stage of herpes, and moxibustion can expel dampness and evil qi from the body at this time, which is very helpful to the long-term prognosis of patients. In addition, moxibustion can relieve the pain caused by herpes zoster, and can prevent patients from developing intractable post-herpetic neuralgia. Acupuncture can also improve local microcirculation and promote nerve repair, thus shortening the course of the disease. However, moxibustion needs to be noted that the distance between moxibustion and the skin needs to be kept at 5-10cm, too far to be effective and too close to the skin may be burned.
