Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a smokeless and odorless moxibustion composition and a molded product thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The basic idea of moxibustion is that the circulation path in the human body is called the meridian, and the energy of blood flowing through the meridian
(Kikutsu) is the root of the systemic activity. If the meridian changes and there is excess or deficiency in qi blood, it is said to be a disease, and if sick, the acupuncture points related to the disease are modulated on the meridian to announce the position of the disease. Applying moxibustion as an acupuncture point is called "correcting the proof". A moxibustion tool suitable for "correcting the proof" was selected from many hot moxibustion tools, and the structural contents were classified to prepare Table 1. Also,
Other than the moxibustion tool, heat generation treatment tools include electrothermal acupressure and moxibustion equipment.
Various therapeutic instruments such as electronically controlled electric moxibustion device, infrared acupuncture moxibustion device, magnetic moxibustion device, acupressure chamber with protrusions, disposable chamber chamber, etc. have been developed.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] If moxibustion is continued, the "flow of air" becomes rhythmical due to the modulation effect, and the physical strength is gradually increased to gradually maintain the physical constitution. The defect of the hot moxibustion device is that there are problems in the generated smoke and odor, the amount of heat to be administered, the waiting time and the feeling of skin, and the degree of skin damage. These will be described below.

Burning smoke and odor generated A newly built house has an independent structure for each room.
As moxibustion smoke continues to fill the room as moxibustion continues, the odor penetrates into the walls, clothes, furniture, furniture, and decorations and keeps smelling all day long, so young people hate the smell of mackerel It is easy to say. In addition, direct moxibustion is a therapy in which the skin is treated by a stinging heat stimulus, and therefore it must endure the pain of an open flame (smoldering). Although a number of improved moxibustion tools have been designed to act gently on the skin, there is a growing demand for smokeless, odorless, and sharply effective moxibustion tools. Table 2 is a performance comparison regarding combustion of moxa, which is common to various moxibustion tools.

[0006]

[Table 2]

Heat of administration The heat of administration of direct moxibustion begins from the moment when the moxa is ignited and continues until the combustion ends, and the intensity of the stimulating heat is determined by the quality of the moxa. If the masticity is good, the ignition is easy, and the mild heat power gently stimulates without extinguishing during combustion, but as it becomes worse, the ignition slows and disappears during combustion, and sometimes the fire suddenly intensifies and becomes intense. Gives a certain amount of heat. The heat of administration of the hot moxibustion device is also related to the quality of the moxa, and if it is a good moxa, it becomes mild heat, and if it is poor, the skin will be damaged by thermal stimulation. Various types of hot moxibustion equipment use different quality moxa. If the moxibustion is good, the heat will be mild and the worse the heat, the more severe the heat stimulus. Table 3 shows the results of measuring the heat of administration of various moxibustion devices.

Waiting time and skin sensation time With a hot moxibustion tool other than direct moxibustion, if the moxa is used upright, the time until the sensation becomes long, and horizontal burning provides efficient heat administration. Table 4 is a table in which the time from ignition to warm feeling and the time from warm feeling to heat disappearance of various moxibustion tools are classified for each moxibustion tool.

[0010]

[Table 4]

Degree of Skin Damage In moxibustion using a hot moxibustion tool, red spots are attached to the skin when the heat of administration is at an appropriate temperature, but blisters and light burns occur when the heat stimulus is intense. For moxibustion therapy, the only treatment method is to continue the treatment while stacking the number of moxibustions, and it is said that moxibustion tools with a strong stimulating heat are used patiently.
The blisters become light burns and as they change into burns, the burns become larger and erosive and spread to the deeper layers, and even if the disease is healed, it may remain as a keloid-like moxibustion scar. Table 5 is a comparative table in which the degree of skin damage caused by the administration heat of the hot moxibustion device is classified according to moxibustion type.

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention to solve the above problems, one or more kinds of vegetable fibers are mixed and fumigated, or a moxibustion composition obtained by individually fumigating and mixing the moxibustion composition. A moxibustion molded product formed into a predetermined shape, a moxibustion molded product obtained by mixing one or more kinds of vegetable fibers and forming a predetermined shape and then fumigation, a plate-like mixture of one or more kinds of vegetable fibers A molded product obtained by punching a molded product into a predetermined shape was fumigated, and a smokeless and odorless moxibustion composition and its molded product were completed.

The fumigation referred to here is fumigation.
In the sense, a carbonization furnace, an atmosphere shutoff device, an air suction device,
It is a general term for the process of heat treatment using a cooling device or the like so that the smoke and odor components are lost while leaving the elasticity and medicinal components of moxa. Table 6 shows the composition of carbonized moxa remaining after fumigation of moxa.

[0015]

[Table 6]

Regarding the production method of carbonized moxa, Japanese Patent Application No. 2-17
No. 9846, “Smokeless and odorless moxibustion composition and its molded product” is proposed, but in the production method of the present invention, the substance in the carbonization furnace can be treated while it does not change to ash, and a high quality fumigation fumigant can be obtained. The details of the fumigation treatment include, for example, shutting off the air of the carbonization furnace charged with any of the above with an atmosphere shutoff device, and heating by diluting the amount of air in the furnace by an air suction device to about 50%, When the temperature inside the furnace reaches 100 ° C (converted to atmospheric pressure, the same applies below), the process moves to the water evaporation process, and at 170 ° C to 230 ° C, methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc. are gasified and scattered as white smoke. . When it exceeds 230 ° C, the amount of white smoke ejected becomes small and blackish brown carbide remains. If left as it is, the charcoal in the furnace moves to ash formation due to the action of residual heat, so the dry distillation furnace is rapidly cooled by a cooling device while the air is shut off. The temperature in the furnace is below room temperature, and a fumigated moxa or a fumigated molded product is obtained without ash generation.

One or more types of vegetable fibers are mixed and fumigated, or fumigated individually and mixed. Acupuncture, skin irritation treatment, and novocaine treatment are therapies that lead to recovery of the modulation site by stimulation applied to the epidermis. Direct moxibustion therapy has the advantage that it can be easily operated with your fingertips, as well as applying an applied drug to the affected area, and that it is suitable for home therapy because it does not cause side effects with only minor trauma. At present, it is supposed to be treated as a maverick because of the instantaneous pain caused by blisters and burns as slight trauma, and the generation of smoke and odor peculiar to moxa. In order to eliminate this difficulty, we focused on the fact that smokeless and odorless moxa makes it a moxibustion therapy that modern people like, and we developed a method of fumigation. FIG. 1 shows the manufacturing method separately for the fumigation step and the molding step.

Fumigation is carried out after mixing one or more kinds of vegetable fibers into a predetermined shape. Direct moxibustion, which has been called as a hot pronoun, is also a hot moxibustion tool that has been molded by paper-wrapping, glue-stamping, inserting into a paper cylinder, punching in a plate shape, etc. in response to the demands of the times. Most of the work to make this shape is done manually. However, from the viewpoint of product quality control, it is difficult to make the dose heat uniform unless it is mechanically shaped. When molding a moxa with a molding machine, the mastica material and flame-retardant short fibers are transferred to modeling after considering the compatibility, adhesion, abrasion resistance, surface curability, etc. ,
It is important to carefully examine the strength and binding state. After the molding is completed, a smokeless and odorless molded object is purified by fumigating the molded object, which has been carefully inspected with respect to the internal structure, strength, bonding state, etc., in a dry distillation furnace. The process diagram of FIG. 2 is divided into a molding process and a fumigation process.

[0019] A molded product obtained by punching a plate-shaped molded product of one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds of plant fibers into a predetermined shape is fumigated. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-197430 "Plate-like mush and its manufacturing method" and Japanese Patent Application No. 3-77330 "Heating element for hot moxibustion and its molded product" have proposed a method for manufacturing a moxa by converting it into a plate. When the plate-shaped moxa is punched and fumigated, the fibers of the moxa that have been compressed and atrophied take in air and expand. For example, if a plate-shaped moxa with a thickness of 3 mm is punched to a diameter of 10 mm and fumigated, it will be carbonized
It becomes a disc with a thickness of 8.5 mm and a thickness of 4 mm. When these two muzzles are ignited, the latter burns in 35 seconds and burns up as fast as 45 seconds while the former burns in 80 seconds. Since the molybdenum molded product which has been carbonized and expanded in this way burns at a speed twice or more that of the punched molded product, the burning is too fast for administration over an appropriate time, which is the main purpose of moxibustion, and the administration time cannot be denied. Absent. In order to delay the burning of carbonized moxa, disperse the moxa or natural fiber and flame-retardant short fibers in water, punch it into a plate shape and perform a fumigation process into the required shape. It was found that the burning speed of moxa became slower because it was made slower. FIG. 3 is a process diagram of forming a plate-shaped moxa and performing fumigation treatment on the moxibustion molded article so as to make it smokeless and odorless.

High-quality moxa has fibers that are thin and cotton-like, and when it is ignited by an incense burner, it burns while radiating the amount of heat of about 80 ° C. However, since bad moxa is thick and lacks elasticity, it is a match or lighter. Otherwise, it will not ignite, 140 ℃ ~ 190
It is burning in a fire of about ℃. The temperature difference between good quality and poor quality is a wide difference of 60 ℃ -110 ℃, so if the degree of inflammation on the skin is good, it will be about blisters.
As the deterioration deteriorates, the burned area becomes wider and extends to deep areas. Smokeless and odorless for medium and poor moxa, and twisted to the size of a rice grain to measure the combustion temperature, the former was
The amount of heat was 114 ° C and the latter was 117 ° C, and the difference in heat generated was as small as 3 ° C. The smokeless and odorless moxa was a fibrous shape in which the original shape was reduced. The moxa was instantly ignited by an incense stick, and there was no phenomenon of burning or disappearing, and the original ash remained in its original form without being scattered around.

The natural fibers are mixed in the moxa or, as a substitute for the moxa, fumigated in a dry distillation furnace to be used as a hot moxibustion heating element. The standard for carbonized fiber that is smokeless and odorless is
3% or more of stalks with a diameter of 0.5 mm or more are not included, and the purity of the mixture of foreign substances other than stalks is 2% or less.
To reduce the heat irritation to the skin, the carbonized fiber burns at a low temperature. Candidate materials that are suitable for this purpose include wood fibers that have been left for a long time after felling, fibers of dilapidated grass root bark, fibers of squeezed lees of Karamu, fibers of straws and rice husks, fine fibers of bamboo, and fibers of pulp. Is.
The carbonized fiber of this material has no medicinal component of moxa, so when sprayed with a moth leaf extract solution (concentration 5%) and then dried, it becomes a carbonized fiber very similar to carbonized moxa containing medicinal components. In addition to the barley leaf extract, the drug used for spray impregnation is a natural element extract solution (garlic), loquat leaf (bihayou), shiso leaf (shisoyo), ginger, sansho, etc. that warms the body and acts on stiffness and pain ( (Concentration 5%), safflower (benibana), which promotes blood circulation and is effective in improving symptoms, hamabofu, sansushi, yellow oak, and cinnamon. Chinese herbal medicine extract solution (concentration 5) such as, spicy, succulent, bakushi, etc.
%) May be prescribed alone or in combination.

A natural short fiber and a flame-retardant short fiber are blended in the moxa, or a flame-retardant short fiber is added to the natural short fiber and dispersed in water to make a paper, and the paper is made to a thickness of 2 mm to 4 mm. However, there is a risk that the moxibustion molded article will be damaged during the steps of forming into a plate, punching, dry distillation furnace, heating, sorting, and the like. Therefore, the binder may be administered in water. When a fumigant extract solution is sprayed on the fumigated molded product to make up for the deficient drug, a smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded product that closely resembles moxa is obtained. Since the natural fibers used for papermaking are fumigated after molding, if the fibers are extremely fine and short, they are generally suitable. For example, the fibers of grasses (rice, wheat) with the fibers of grass root bark as the root,
Fibers such as bamboos (Matake, Menso bamboo) and maize (sugar, Karasu) fibers are also suitable, and paper-making materials such as Kozo, Mitsumata, Gampi, hemp, flax, pulp and cotton are also suitable.

Moxibustion as a modulation therapy is becoming a treatment tool which does not adapt to the times due to heat-induced inflammation and odorous smoke, because it is a therapy which is performed while administering an appropriate temperature. Therefore, when it comes to hot moxibustion equipment with less heat damage, many people nowadays shy away from burning smoke and odors. When this smokeless and odorless moxa is ignited, it burns out in a short time. Therefore, if flame-retardant fibers are blended for the purpose of slowing the combustion, the flame retardancy of the fibers becomes a resistance and the combustion is delayed. Fibers that lead to slow combustion include carbon fiber, activated carbon fiber, glass fiber, silicon carbide fiber, alumina fiber, ceramic fiber fiber, etc., which have a high ignition point, and are easily available and relatively inexpensive, with an ignition temperature of 480 ° C and a strength of 15 kg. / mm ² ,
Activated carbon fiber with physical properties such as elongation 2.0% and elastic modulus 1200 kg / mm is suitable.

In the case of forming moxa and carbonized moxa, if the bonded state is weak, the moxibustion molded product is partially damaged or deformed during the carbonization treatment.
Damage due to breakage or collapse. It is molded with a binder to prevent the damage, but for molding, it is difficult to mix the fibers into the moxa or carbonized maze while keeping the room temperature constant, and after adding the binder and kneading at a humidity of 15% or less. , And apply pressure of about 5 kgf / cm ² to build. While the solidified molded product undergoes steps such as carbonization, heating, and take-out, the caking component becomes ineffective, but the carbonized fugitive and the flame-retardant fiber are intertwined with each other. When selecting a binder, taking into consideration the ease of the adhesive process, cost reduction, practical environmental conditions, ease of manual work, etc., the usual adhesives starch, gelatin, casein and the thickening agent methylose, Sodium alginate, polyacrylamide, CMC, PVA, vegetable gum and the like are suitable.

Since the carbonized shaped article contains a large amount of carbonaceous material and therefore absorbs moisture significantly, it is necessary to consider the generation and deterioration of mold. When a dilute solution is prepared by adding a dehumidifying agent to an activator with a strong affinity for water, and spraying it onto the surface layer of the model, impregnating it and drying it, the thin film on the surface acts as interfacial tension, and the entire permeation layer is moisture-proof. Not only manifests itself, but also has abrasion resistance, elasticity, and dustproof function. Activators are classified into surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants, fluorochemical surfactants and the like.

Since the moxa having a complicated fiber shape is entangled and connected in a chain shape, it was difficult to mold it with a conventional molding machine. However, as a result of examination, it was confirmed that the moxa could be molded even under severe specifications. Has become. Molding of mogusa can be performed by a rolling molding method, a compression molding method, a crushing molding method, a stirring molding method, a vacuum freezing molding method, or the like. Table 7 shows an outline of this molding method. When mass-produced modeling moxa using this modeling machine, artificially miniaturized moxa or natural short fibers and flame-retardant short fibers are kneaded and machine-operated to form a moxibustion molded product of uniform shape and same weight. To be done.

[0027]

[Table 7]

The moxibustion molded article of the heating element for hot moxibustion of the present invention is a base material.
(Dry 蓬, moxa, natural fiber, flame-retardant fiber), (A) fumigated into a molded product, (B) molded product and then fumigated, (C) plate-shaped fumigated by a method of A smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded product was prepared. (A) In the case of fumigation by fumigation, carbonized broth, carbonized moxa, or carbonized fine fibers with flame-retardant short fibers are kneaded with water or a low-concentration caking solution and machined into the required shape. When it is fitted into a frame and molded, it can be molded into irregularly shaped products, frustoconical products, and products with irregularities on the front and back surfaces. FIG. 4 in which unevenness is provided on the upper surface of the moxibustion molded product 1 is a typical shape by molding, and the generated heat has a characteristic that the waveform repeats a waveform. The waveform coordinates in Fig. 5 show that the moxibustion molded product 1 in Fig. 4 has a different amount of heat (about 120 ° C to 70 ° C).
It is a record of the changing state of. Further, FIG. 6 is a shape diagram in which four sides of the truncated cone are removed in a semicircular shape to reduce the burning area and reduce the heat for skin administration. This form is also said to be difficult to mass-produce except for molding.

(B) In the case of fumigation after being formed into a molded product, dry flame glazed or moxa or natural short fibers are mixed with flame-retardant short fibers and then kneaded, followed by molding by a molding machine. Before producing with a modeling machine, the type of material, the shape of the model,
It is necessary to consider whether the internal structure of the modeled object (hollow, core component), thin film formation, or other special specifications. Since the molding machine can mold without mixing a catalyst or adhesive, it is characterized by less dust scattering during operation and less likely to contaminate the surrounding environment, and a large amount of moxibustion molded products of the same shape and the same weight. Although it is suitable for cutting production costs, it is difficult to model complex shapes, and we specialize in disk-shaped, spherical, and columnar molding. In addition, the mechanical molding has a beautiful appearance and helps prevent wetting. 7 to 9 show a general shape that can be mechanically formed. Figure 7 is a column
FIG. 8 shows a disk shape, and FIG. 9 shows a disk shape with a rounded upper surface. Fig. 10 shows a special structure. The moxibustion molded article 1 has a truncated cone in the upper layer and a lower layer in the disk-shaped moxibustion and flame-retardant short fiber mixture. It is a molded product. When ignited, the upper layer part burns quickly, and when the combustion reaches the lower layer part, the generated heat is slowed and the generated heat is slowly administered, so that the affected part is favorably affected. After molding, the moxibustion molded product 1 of each shape becomes a smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded product through a process such as fumigation treatment in a dry distillation furnace.

(C) In the case of punching and fumigating a plate, since the hot moxibustion tool belongs to the medical treatment tools that are frequently used by the elderly, there is a demand for a device that can be easily ignited and operated easily. As for the molding moxa, which is a heat source for a hot moxibustion tool that is easy and efficient to operate, the relationship between the burning time and the heat administration time, the relationship between the generated temperature and the thermal stimulus, the shape and the ignitability must be considered. It is preferable to use a punching (pressing) machine to form a plate-shaped moxa, and even a pattern with a complicated shape can be punched.
With this machine, general shape of Figure 12, Figure 13, real fair 3-
Figure 14 with the same shape as the moxibustion molded article 1 that burns by detour, which is proposed in No. 10773 "Moxibustion device", is punched and then fumigated in a carbonization furnace to make a smokeless and odorless moxibustion article.

In the graph presented in FIG. 11, a is a smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded product obtained by dispersing moxa and flame-retardant short fibers in water, performing paper-making, punching-molding, and fumigating in a carbonization furnace.
On the other hand, b is a smoked and odorous moxibustion molded product having the same shape as the former, which was obtained by treating moxa and natural short fibers in water to form a plate and punching. Table 8 is a table comparing the mixing ratios, dimensions, shapes and the like of the both. The coordinates have the burning time on the horizontal axis and the generated temperature on the vertical axis. Sensitive temperature of skin is 40 ° C Desensitizing temperature is 40 ° C
And the rising process and the descending process are divided according to the passage of time
Based on the above, the combustion time of both is about 240 seconds and about 120 seconds, which is about a double time difference. It is a phenomenon caused by the flame retardancy of the flame-retardant fiber that controls the burning speed of the moxa.The former combustion heat can be read for about 90 seconds near the apex, so it turned out to be directly comparable to the moxibustion of moxibustion. did.

[0032]

[Table 8]

[0033]

In the case of the moxibustion composition of the present invention, since the moxibustion raw material or the molded moxibustion is fumigated, the odorous components are removed, and the moxibustion is smokeless and odorless during moxibustion. As a result, the treatment can be made comfortable without disturbing the surroundings, and there is no worry of discoloring the surrounding walls, furniture, and furnishings, or permeating an offensive odor.

When fumigation is performed, far infrared rays are emitted and far infrared rays are emitted. In addition to the heat effect, far-infrared rays reach deep inside the diseased site, activate blood flow and promote leukocyte proliferation, which gives favorable results for the disease and activates the cells. When continued moxibustion, the therapeutic effect is improved by the synergistic effect of far infrared rays and heat.

【Example】

Example 1 Dried roe, moxa, and 2 kg of natural fiber moxa were fumigated in a dry distillation furnace in the order of the fumigation process shown in FIG. 1 to purify 1.2 kg of smokeless and odorless carbonized moxa. 0.25 kg of activated carbon fiber (flame-retardant fiber) is mixed with this carbide, and after kneading with 2 liters of water, the process shifts to the molding process of FIG. 1 and is put in a mold for molding the moxibustion molded product 1 of FIG. Shaped. The coating was prepared by mixing a moth leaf extract solution having a concentration of 5% and a 2% dextrin solution as an active agent, and then spraying the mixture on the surface layer of the molded article. As a result, approximately 1.4 kg of smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded product was obtained.

Example 2 3 kg of mogusa and 2 kg of Manila hemp short fiber (natural short fiber) were thoroughly kneaded with 1 kg of activated carbon fiber (flame-retardant fiber) from a dried hoho, mogusa and natural fiber with a powder mixer and then molded as shown in FIG. By the crushing modeling method (modeling machine) of the process, the shape shown in FIG.
33,000 hemispheres having a size of mm and a weight of about 0.18 g were formed. When this moxibustion molded product 1 was selected, 28 failed. If the accepted product is fumigated by the fumigation process shown in Fig. 2, the outer shape is 9.4 mm and the thickness is 3.3.
A smokeless and odorless molded product having a weight of about 0.14 g and a weight of about 0.14 g was spray-treated on the surface with a mixed solution of a 5% concentration of agar leaf extract solution and a 2% solution of dextrin as an activator to obtain about 32,600 finished products.

Example 3 2 kg of moxa, 0.4 kg of Manila hemp short fibers (natural short fibers) and 0.4 kg of activated carbon short fibers (flame-retardant short fibers) were dispersed in water and processed into paper. A 2.7 mm thick plate-shaped moxa was punched into a shape as shown in Fig. 14 by the molding process shown in Fig. 3 into a shape as shown in Fig. 14 (weight per child of about 0.22 g) was applied to the fumigation process shown in Fig. 3. In accordance with this, fumigation was performed in a dry distillation furnace. As a result, the thickness is 2.9 mm and the weight is about 0.2.
0 g of smokeless and odorless moxibustion molding was obtained. This moxibustion molded article 1 was sprayed on the surface with a mixed solution of a 5% concentration of a barley leaf extract solution and a 2% solution of dextrin as an activator, leading to completion.

When moxa becomes moist in the air, the moisture content increases and the color changes to blackish brown, giving the fingertips a cold feel. When it feels cold, it becomes difficult to ignite and disappears during burning, and sometimes it gives off a strong fire, leaving intense thermal irritation and burn marks on the skin. When the film of the activator sprayed on the smokeless odorless moxa molding covers the surface, the epidermis is slightly hardened. Due to this pseudo-hardening, the rate of attachment of moisture and suspended matter decreases. In order to investigate the moisture absorption rate of the moxibustion molded product shown in Fig. 9, ten smokeless and odorless exothermic moldings were sprayed with an activator (2% dextrin solution).
In order to investigate the moisture absorption rate of 10 smokeless and odorless moxibustion molded articles that were co-molded with the active agent, we left them side by side in the outdoor without rainwater and investigated the state of absorbing moisture. The results are shown in Table 9. Table 9 is a list showing the measurement results of the moisture absorption state of the moxibustion molded product over time and the number of days. As shown in this table, both the active agent sprayed moxibustion molded article and the non-sprayed moxibustion molded article absorb moisture with the passage of time, but the moisture absorption ratio of the former is slightly constant and saturated from the 5th day. While the latter shows a tendency, the latter greedily absorbs moisture, resulting in a difference of 4% on the 7th day, and it is speculated that the form will eventually collapse when moistened in this condition.

[0039]

[Table 9]

One of the basic base materials (mogusa, Manila hemp, ganpi) carbonized and smokeless and odorless in the fumigation process of FIG. 1 and one of the auxiliary base materials (short carbon fiber, activated carbon fiber, glass fiber) is mixed with water or a thin concentration. Kneading with an adhesive liquid and molding into a disc-shaped moxibustion molded product having a diameter of 8 mm and a thickness of 4 mm and a groove depth of 2.5 mm shown in Fig. 4 (the combustion state of the moxibustion molded product is shown in Fig. 5). Explicitly shown in the waveform graph). Until the moxibustion molded article burns normally, it is divided into 7 cases in a row, and the process is decided in a column by the execution contents (basic base material, auxiliary base material, result of manufacturing method, auxiliary agent, result of molding). The progress of the implementation is presented in Table 10. Implementation number 1
Up to 3, the base material was kneaded with an auxiliary agent, molded, and dried. When the criteria for combustion are classified into combustibility, odor, and smoke, and compared, water has a weak binding force and easily breaks, but when a thin concentration binding liquid is used, it has excellent tackiness but produces a slight odor. It has been found. Moreover, the fumigated carbide fibers of the base material had a similar shape at first glance so that it was difficult to determine which raw material. In Run Nos. 4 to 7, when the base material 70% to 85% and the auxiliary material 15% to 20% were compared, the activated carbon fiber was superior to other fibers in the bondability with the carbide. The numbers 5 and 6 were practical, but the number 6 was particularly superior in the binding strength.

A charcoal fire (sumibi) obtained by carbonizing wood burns as a "fire" even if a small amount of air is supplied, but the moxa disappears immediately when the air supply is insufficient. The fumigated carbonized moxa is easily ignited and becomes charcoal and burns at a high speed. Table 11 shows the process of leading to the slow combustion due to the flame retardancy and resistance of the activated carbon fiber in the shape of FIG. This table summarizes the strength, elasticity, and practicability of the papermaking sheet, "papermaking ability", strength after machine punching, disintegration, and stability while adjusting the mixing ratio of moxa and activated carbon fiber. "Moldability", categorized into "flammability" including ignitability, speed, extinction of phenomena occurring during combustion, and adjusting the mixing ratio (%) of moxa fiber and activated carbon fiber It is a list which carried out follow-up investigation until it becomes a combustion state. Table 11
As shown in Table 8, it is shown that the mixing ratio of 80% moxa fiber and 20% activated carbon fiber is as practical as in Table 8. When the mixing ratio of activated carbon fiber is 20% or less, the binding property is Inferior combustion speed becomes faster, but if it exceeds 20%, ignition becomes difficult gradually and combustion speed becomes slower and gradually disappears.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION In the conventional moxibustion with smoke and odor, there was a difficulty in odor, but in the case of the moxibustion composition of the present invention, even if moxibustion is carried out in a closed room, it is smokeless and odorless. And furniture,
You can comfortably treat without worrying about discoloring the furniture or soaking it with a strange odor. The general merit of moxibustion is that the blood vessels expand due to thermal stimulation and the blood flow becomes better. As blood flow becomes more active, leukocytes and lymphocytes become more active, metabolism in the body is promoted, and substances that counter pain are created in muscles, and inflammation is gradually alleviated. Smokeless and odorless as in the present invention,
Unlike conventional moxibustion equipment, it is a treatment tool that meets the needs of the times.

As in the present invention, when fumigation is carried out from broth and fumigation is performed to make it smokeless and odorless, far infrared rays having a wavelength of 3 microns or more are always emitted, and when ignited, this wavelength is amplified and becomes long. It emits far infrared rays belonging to the wavelength. Since far-infrared rays contribute to the maintenance of the body's system, if moxibustion is performed with a moxibustion tool that uses smokeless and odorless moxa as a heat source, far-infrared rays reach deep inside the diseased site in addition to the thermal effect as a proper place therapy. It activates the flow and promotes the increase of white blood cells, so that it has a positive effect on the disease and the cells are activated. With continued moxibustion, the synergistic action of far-infrared rays and heat causes the increased efficacy to show an improved therapeutic effect.
