The original concept of acupoint sensitization theory was put forward in Huangdi Neijing, which believed that acupoints, as the reflecting parts of the body surface, were personalized, changeable and sensitive. heat-sensitive moxibustion have a good therapeutic effect on allergic rhinitis, but the mechanism is still unclear. Notably, acupoint sensitization in allergic rhinitis (AR) rats was accompanied by a distal thermal effect, with an increase in tail temperature (TTI) after 40 minutes of moxibustion.
