Multidisciplinary intersection has gradually become a major source of scientific and technological innovation at present. But

how to leap over the discipline of acupuncture and moxibustion to promote the development of it is still a bottleneck problem. In the paper

based on the application of physical technology in acupuncture-moxibustion research

regarding the integration of traditional acupuncture and moxibustion with electrics

optics

acoustics and magnetics

the significance of it in theoretic study has been reviewed

as well as the current situation of its clinical application. It is anticipated to provide the ideas for the reform and development of acupuncture and moxibustion and the combination and innovation of acupuncture-moxibustion with other disciplines.
