Slice fresh garlic seeds into pieces of about 0.3 ~ 0.5cm in thickness and pierce several holes in the slices with a needle. Put a garlic slice on the acupoint or diseased area, then place a moxa cone on the slice and light it. When the cone burns out, replace it with another one until completion of treatment. This method is frequently used in case of scrofula, tuberculosis and the early stage of pyogenic infection and painful swelling.
