Abstract：The theory of "dispersing stagnated fire" in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon is the theoreti cal origin of "using heat to relieve heat" of moxibustion. It is found that moxibustion on bai hui(GV 20) and shen que(CV 8) is effective for relieving fever,whether it is exterior or interior,or whether it is exces-sive or deficient. The combination of these two points is regarded as the best acupoints combination for re-lieving fever. This research has enriched the therapeutic method for fever disease ,and it could give evidence for reducing the use of antibiotics,saving the cost,shortening the lasting of fever and relieving patients suf-fering.
