An external therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, also known as blister moxibustion or self-moxibustion. It uses pungent-warm drugs such as white mustard seed and asarum to apply on acupoints, causing local blistering to warm and unblock meridians, dispel cold, and eliminate dampness. The mechanism involves drug action combined with acupoint stimulation to activate meridian qi.
