Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To be able to manufacture hot moxibustion devices with high productivity. [Structure] A pedestal 1 having a lower surface coated with an adhesive is provided with a through hole 2 penetrating vertically. The moxa shaping body 3 in which the moxa is hardened with glue is attached to the pedestal 1 at the place where the through hole 2 is provided. The moxa shaping body 3 in which the moxa is hardened with glue can be formed into a desired shape by using the glue as a binder, which eliminates the need for skill and labor such as thinly winding the moxa with thin paper.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moxibustion device used for moxibustion treatment of an affected area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Moxibustion therapy has been performed since ancient times as a Chinese medicine therapy in which moxa is placed on the acupuncture points of the affected area of the skin and ignited, and the heat is used to treat the moxibustion. However, when the mussels are directly placed on the skin and fire is applied in this way, there is a problem that burn marks are left on the skin or pain is felt due to the heat.

For this reason, there is provided a moxibustion device as shown in FIG. 3 (a), in which the gusset 8 is attached to the pedestal 1 made of cardboard or the like. This moxibustion device is one in which the pedestal 1 is attached to the skin with an adhesive provided on the lower surface of the pedestal 1, and the gusset 8 is ignited even in this state. It is transmitted to the skin through the hole 2, but since the moxa is not in contact with the skin, the fire applied to the muzzle 8 does not directly act on the skin, and the moxibustion treatment is performed without causing burns on the skin or feeling extreme heat. Can be done.

In the conventional moxibustion device provided heretofore, the moxa 8 is wrapped with a thin paper 9 and shaped into a thin columnar shape as shown in FIG. It is created by pasting on the pedestal 1 (shown by the chain line).

[0005]

However, it takes a high degree of skill and is very troublesome to wind the moxa 8 having a cotton-like property into a thin columnar shape by winding the thin paper 9 as described above. Therefore, there is a problem that productivity is extremely low. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a moxibustion device that can be manufactured with high productivity.

[0006]

The moxibustion device according to the present invention comprises:
A through hole 2 that vertically penetrates a pedestal 1 whose lower surface is coated with an adhesive.
Is provided on the base 1 at the location where the through hole 2 is provided.

[0007]

In the moxa shaping body 3 in which the moxa is hardened with glue, the glue can be molded into an arbitrary shape by using the glue as a binder, and the work which requires skill such as winding the moxa thinly with thin paper is unnecessary.

[0008]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. The pedestal 1 is formed of a board material having a thickness of about 2 to 4 mm and having a heat insulating property, such as a thick paper, and a through hole 2 penetrating vertically is formed in a central portion thereof. An adhesive is applied to the lower surface of the pedestal 1, and a release paper 10 is attached to the lower surface of the pedestal 1 so as to cover the adhesive. A tongue piece 11 for peeling the release paper 7 from the base 1 by picking it with a finger is provided at one end of the release paper 7. The moxibustion device 3 as shown in FIG. 1 can be produced by attaching the moxa shaping body 3 to the upper surface of the pedestal 1 so as to cover the through hole 2.

Here, the moxa is a cotton-like product made by drying the leaves of mugwort, and by mixing and kneading the paste with this moxa, the moxa shaping body 3 of any shape can be formed. . Therefore, it is not necessary to wind the moxa with the thin paper 9 to shape it into a thin columnar shape as in the conventional case, and the skilled worker is not required. Further, by using a squeezing device or the like to squeeze the mixture of the moxa and the glue onto the pedestal 1 in a predetermined shape and attach it, and drying and hardening the glue, the glue mixed with the moxa is used as an adhesive as it is. The moxa shaping body 3 can be attached to the pedestal 1, and the work of attaching the moxa shaping body 3 to the pedestal 1 can be automated by a machine. The glue that serves as a binder for the moxa is not particularly limited as long as it does not significantly hinder the burning of the moxa and does not generate an unpleasant burning odor. For example, starch paste can be used. . Further, the mixing ratio of the moxa and the glue can be arbitrarily set as necessary.

Further, since the moxa shaping body 3 can be shaped into any shape as described above, in addition to being formed into a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1, it is also formed into a conical shape as shown in FIG.
Any design can be elaborated. When performing moxibustion treatment using the moxibustion device according to the present invention prepared as described above, first, the release paper 10 is peeled off and the pedestal 1 is attached.
Attach the pedestal 1 to the skin of the affected area with the adhesive on the lower surface of the. Then, when the moxa shaping body 3 is ignited, hot air is passed through the through hole 2 of the pedestal 1.
It can be transmitted to the skin through moxibustion treatment. At this time, even if the pedestal 1 is on the skin, since the gum shaping body 3 is not in contact with the skin, the fire applied to the gum shaping body 3 does not directly act on the skin, and the skin is burned. It is possible to perform moxibustion treatment without feeling extreme heat.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pedestal having the lower surface coated with the adhesive is provided with the through hole extending vertically and the pedestal of the pedestal is provided at the place where the through hole is formed by fixing the moxa with the glue. Since it is attached on the top, the moxa shaping body in which the moxa is hardened with glue can be molded into any shape with the glue as a binder, and it requires skill and time to wind the moxa thinly with thin paper. It eliminates the need for work and can improve productivity.
