The investigation results of microwave parameters of moxa thermal state for jiu therapy are presented in the article. The theoretical and physical foundations of research are described. The information about moxa of different composition and manufacturers is presented. The characteristics and description of the unique radiometric equipment and research methodology are given. As a result of experimental measurements, it becomes clear that smoldering moxa cigarettes generate not only infrared, but microwave radiation also. At the same time, the microwave signal level is almost 100 times higher than the human radiation level, which creates an additional therapeutic effect. It is established that cigarettes of different brands and with different additional fillings have the same radiation level. In addition, the radiation power in the millimeter range does not change during the research, while the infrared radiation power decreases during the same time. The obtained results allow us to assert the possible complex effect of thermal and microwave components of the wormwood cigarette (moxa) on a patient. The operational mechanism of the entire radiation spectrum of smoldering moxa requires a deeper research, from the point of view of evidence-based medicine in medical practice.
