All I have on that paper is:

 

24#Ni SN (1990) Comparative studies on various AP-Moxibustion methods

in the treatment of herpes zoster. Xinjiang TCM (4):44-45. The paper

introduces briefly the following methods of treating herpes zoster:

surrounding AP and surrounding moxibustion, cotton moxibustion, plum-

blossom needling, puncturing the Channels and blood-letting, lamp

radiation, etc. In general, the patients of Damp-Heat type were treated with

surrounding AP and surrounding moxibustion, cotton moxibustion; those

with body weakness and Blood Stasis were treated with plum-blossom

therapy or pricking blood therapy. During treatment, Renshen baidu San

(ginseng detoxic powder) or longdan xiegan wan might be added, and

others who were treated with hormones showed unsatisfactory results.
