Abstract

Telephone interviews with them were conducted by the well-trained interviewers of Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine in Medical researcher from 26th March 2007 to 6th April 2007.

Sixty-seven percent of Korean oriental medical doctors used moxibustion therapeutics. The most common treatment disease was Musculo-skeletal disorder(38.3%), Digestive disorder(28.6%), Gynecology(14.1%). Indirect moxibustion were as frequent as 65.5% of moxibustion method. The most common reason of unused respondents was ¡¯Lots of smell and smoke¡¯(28.3%), ¡¯The wound left a scar¡¯(20.8%), ¡¯Less effects¡¯(20%), etc. Eighty-three percents Korean oriental medical doctors were against that moxibustion therapy used without doctor¡¯s examination
