For patients with herniated lumbar discs compressing the nerves, if they want to choose moxibustion for treatment, most of them use moxibustion as an auxiliary treatment method, mostly with the main treatment principle of nourishing the nerves and relieving edema of the nerve roots, on top of which moxibustion can significantly reduce clinical symptoms. Most of these patients are treated by moxibustion of local acupuncture points and local pain points, most of which are Yanglingquan, Huanjiao and Kunlun points, most of which are in the area of local skin numbness caused by sciatic nerve compression. Moxibustion at these points can significantly reduce the numbness and radiating pain in the lower limbs. The warmth of moxibustion and the effect of moxa leaves to warm the meridians and disperse cold, dispel wind and open the channels, can also play a very good effect of pain relief, blood circulation and swelling, so moxibustion treatment can improve the clinical symptoms of this disease. However, there is little point in trying to completely cure or improve the clinical symptoms through moxibustion.
