Moxibustion treatment is divided into direct and indirect procedures. Major side effect of diret moxibustion is thermal burn on the skin. Conversely, indirect moxibustion is thought to be safe and almost equal effective compared to direct moxibustion. Indirect moxibustion procedure is subdivided into several ones, for example "Ontokyu", which is moxa with paper cylinder, and "Daizakyu", which is moxa on round paper. And several commercial products of indirect moxibustion are akeady on the market at present. However, we can not understand differences of them, for example, the thermal properties and clinical availability. Then, we examined the thermal properties of the commercial products. The results in this study proved following three points. First of all, ascending curve is almost similar in all products. Secondly, differences of the time course for temperature in each product exist in the highest temperature and descending curve. Thirdly, the highest temperature of an products arrives at more than 45℃. In conclusion, it is suggested that there is a possibility of thermal burn caused by the commercial products of indirect moxibustion.
