宋代·窦材《扁鹊心书》中记载着这样一个故事：绍兴间，刘武的军中有一步卒王超，太原人，后来遁入江湖为盗。他曾经遇到一个不同寻常的人，授以黄白住世之法。王超按此法行事，年至九十，精彩腴润。……后被擒，监官问他：你有何养身之术吗？王超回答说，没有。只是每于夏秋之交，即在关元穴处用艾火施灸千炷，因此而冬天不怕冷，夏天不怕热，几日不食也不会感到饥饿，至今脐下部象火一样温暖。你难道没有听说过吗，土成砖，木成炭，千年不朽，皆火之力啊。王超被处死后，刑官令人将其腹暖之处剖开，视见一块非肉非骨之物，凝然如石，此即长期施灸艾火之故。所以，《扁鹊心书》中说：“保命之法，灼艾第一”。
《本草纲目》中记载：“艾叶能灸治百病”。《本草从新》中说：“艾叶苦辛，生温，熟热，纯阳之性，能回垂绝之阳，通十二经，走三阴，理气血，逐寒湿，暖子宫，……以之灸火，能透诸经而除百病”。艾叶气味芳香，辛温味苦，容易燃烧，火力温和。以之灸火，具有温经散寒、扶阳固脱、消淤散结、防病保健的作用。现代医学研究表明，灸法对人体心血管、呼吸、消化、泌尿、神经、内分泌等系统，均有良好的调节作用：
1、灸疗可使人体红血球、白血球、血小板、血色素、血清免疫体等显著增加，可以提高人体特异性和非特异性免疫功能，促进机体防御抗病能力；
2、灸疗可以调节异常血压，使其恢复到正常范围；
3、灸疗可以改善心脏功能，促进血液循环，促使新陈代谢；
4、灸疗可以调整胃肠功能，促进消化吸收；
5、灸疗可以改善呼吸功能，使通气量、肺活量、耗氧量增加；在病理情况下能使气道阻力下降；
6、灸疗可以促进利尿，改善肾功能；
7、灸疗对神经系统具有调节作用，在中枢神经系统和大脑皮层的兴奋或抑制过度增强时，艾灸可使之恢复正常；
8、灸疗具有调整各种分泌腺的作用，如在病理状态下，对消化液、唾液腺、以及副肾、睾丸、卵巢、甲状腺、胰腺等内分泌腺（激素）的分泌可以起到调节作用，使各种分泌腺的功能趋向正常；
9、灸疗还具有解热抗炎、抗癌、止痛等作用；
10、灸疗可以减轻肌肉疲劳，对于防止疲劳和恢复疲劳都是十分有效的。
