三伏灸在灸什麼？為什麼三伏灸很重要？什麼樣的人適宜三伏灸？如何灸才能收到最佳效果？為什麼很多人灸了卻效果不彰？
把握人體脈搏，最知艾灸良方。臨床經驗告訴我們，三伏灸為什麼如此重要，只要回答以上問題，您的健康就有保障。
三伏灸的關鍵：時間（timing）－－T, 方法（method)---M
T：三伏天，三伏天時間
艾灸階段 | 功效 | 主治 |
伏前培元灸 | 培補元氣，散寒祛濕 | 四肢冰冷，困乏嗜睡腰痠腿痛，頭痛眩暈 |
初伏 | 培補元氣，養心健脾 | 肢冷便溏，胸悶心痛 |
中伏灸 | 培補元氣，健脾強肺 | 過敏哮喘，消瘦體弱免疫力低下，失眠 |
末伏 | 培補元氣，溫經散寒 健脾養心，益氣養血 | 脾濕過重，皮膚濕疹體重增加，哮喘咳嗽 |
伏後固本灸 | 溫補脾腎，祛瘀散寒 | 免疫力低下，呼吸短促心律不齊，失眠多夢 |
M： 選對經絡穴位，掌握順逆補瀉。最好明白自己的體質，知道就的重點。
譬如，哮喘的患者灸大（椎），風（門），肺（俞），加神（神闕－肚臍），關（元），命（門），而關節炎的患者就是局部灸了。
自身免疫失調的患者：灸闕，關，命，還要瀉行（間），俠（溪）二穴。
長期腰痛，消化遲滯的患者，要灸闕，關，命，還要做“腰轉乾坤”的動作來輔助陽氣迴轉，驅離寒邪。
特別灸法——針＋灸，以「四正穴」，加神闕，關元，可達到超絕療效。三伏天，加上特別灸，更是如虎添翼。(T+M)
三伏灸適應症
1. 哮喘、慢性支氣管炎、各種慢性咽炎等多種肺系疾病;
2. 過敏性鼻炎，四肢寒涼怕冷，免疫低下，反復感冒;
3. 虛寒頭痛、慢性虛寒、胃腸炎、潰瘍病、腹瀉、消化不良、厭食、胃痛;
4. 風濕與類風濕性關節炎等骨關節問題及頸肩腰腿痛等症狀;
5. 痛經，提前絕經，更有不孕不育等虛寒性的疾病及其他婦科問題。
《素問·至真要大論》)，「是以聖人陣陰陽，筋脈和同，骨髓堅固，氣血皆從，如是則內外調和，邪不能害，耳目聰明，氣立如故」。說明了氣在人的生命的重要性，四肢筋骨，五官臟腑都以氣為養，不然則失去正常的功能。正如朱丹溪《格致餘論》說：「氣血和一疾不生」。反過來說，氣血虛則百病生。所以，補氣應該是每天的工作。補氣除了吃飯－食補之外，艾灸是一種最天然，最沒有副作用，而兼具補氣，化淤，通絡，驅寒等其他手法無可替代的功效，所以，五千年艾草經久不衰，反而愈來愈興盛，就是因為其不二的品性。
