But for cold accumulation and deficiency, moxibustion is suitable, up to more than a thousand times, and at least two or three hundred times. Many lives have been saved. However, repeated moxibustion for deficiency, combined with Zusanli below, hence it is said: 'If you want your Dan Tian to be safe, Zusanli should never dry'." Dr. Dou Cai of the Song Dynasty said, "...Deficiency of true qi leads to disease, and loss of true qi leads to death. The method to save life is moxibustion first, dan medicine second, and Fu Zi third.
