The best cure for a felon is a moxibustion

A felon is an acute inflammation caused by bacteria, which enters from a fingemail or a wound at a fingertip.　You will have a smart pain, since a fingertip has more complicated subcutaneous tissue and more sensitive nerves than any other parts of the body.　Burning moxa on a wound is effective if you can find the wound.　If you have a felon insaide a fingemail, it is effective to burn 5-7 pieces of moxa about the size of a grain of rice in half around the

fingemail.　You may feel really hot and painful when you burn moxa

on a fingertip, but you can bear the heat and pain by pressing

strongly on the base of the finger.　This treatment does not make

use of the effect of disinfection with the heat, but of the function

of white corpuscles, which are increased by the heat, gather around

a fingertip, and sterilize bacteria.　Burning moxa on the affected

place 2-3 times is enough to cure a felon unless it is too vicious.

In regard to a felon, a moxibustion makes a better effect than an

acupuncture and MAGRAIN treatment.
