Guest guest Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 An anonymous student from the heartland wrote: It is disturbing to me that no one brought up the fact that direct scarring moxa is an illegal practice in the United States (or so I was taught. Was I misinformed?) This is an international forum. Direct scarring moxa is allowed in some countries. I hope the other students and all licensed acupuncturists in the US know that this is an unacceptable procedure. I replied: I believe you were misinformed. Medicine is regulated state by state. I think the federal government has no jurisdiction at all over scope of practice issues such as these. Individual states may ban scarring moxa, but I have never seen this prohibition in any state law I have read, but I have not reads them all in years. Does anyone have further information on this matter?
