Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot moxibustion device and an acupuncture moxibustion device using solid alcohol such as ethanol and methanol.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are many cases of phytotoxicity caused by administered drugs that are generally used as medical means, and the treatment of diseases by the natural healing power of the living body without the use of recent drugs, especially the treatment and health of chronic diseases. It has been attempted in various fields to maintain and improve the health care, and as a typical treatment or health promotion means, hot moxibustion and acupuncture are positioned.

This moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion therapy effectively induces nerve reflex in the living body by applying thermal stimulation to 360 regular holes and 150 odd holes existing in the living body, and treats diseases, especially chronic diseases. I was trying to do.

[0004] Further, by heating the skin surface, a part of the tissue protein is destroyed, and the destroyed tissue protein is absorbed into the blood to increase leukocytes in the blood, which is used for health and tonic therapy to generate an immune system. Was there.

[0005]

However, in the conventional hot moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, it is general to use dried perennial grass mugwort from the viewpoint of the effect produced by the hot moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion.

In this grass wormwood, the veins or petioles of the leaves of wormwood are not mixed, and the young leaves of wormwood are well dried by shade drying and centrifuged so that the soft fur densely formed on the back of the leaves of wormwood is the main component. It was necessary to bleach the white cotton-like fibers with a separator and then anneal them for a long time.

The mugwort used has a mild temperature during combustion and feels that the heating is light, and it is necessary to minimize the burns that occur. Therefore, Komoro in Nagano Prefecture and Yao in Toyama Prefecture,
We use those from the production areas such as Arai in Niigata Prefecture and Ibukiyama in Shiga Prefecture.

From this point of view, in order to obtain good quality moxa, mugwort from a limited production area is collected at a limited collection period, and the collected mugwort is subjected to a lot of time and effort to obtain a soft cotton-like moxa. Therefore, there were many difficulties in obtaining a large amount of good quality moxa at low cost.

When such a moxa is used as a means of hot moxibustion or acupuncture, a large amount of smoke and a specific odor are generated during heating and burning, and this smoke or odor adheres to the body or clothes, or the space in the treatment room. It has a disadvantage that it adheres to a wall surface and stains clothes and a wall surface, and at the same time, a peculiar odor always remains.

Further, there is a disadvantage that a peculiar strong odor is brought to the user and the patient, causing uncomfortable feeling peculiar to the user and the patient who cannot adapt to the peculiar odor.

[0011] Further, when the use is moist or when it is pressed hard, it is difficult to ignite, and it is necessary to prepare a thick incense stick for ignition.

Further, when the moxa is burned, the muzzle falls from the acupuncture points, or the combustion ash collapses to contaminate the treatment area.

In view of the inconvenience of such a conventional moxibustion or acupuncture and moxibustion tool which mainly uses moxa, the present invention has good ignitability, smoke and odor, and has a uniform moxibustion or acupuncture effect. The purpose is to provide hot moxibustion or acupuncture that can be done.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above object, the hot moxibustion device and the acupuncture moxibustion device according to the present invention are characterized in that the solid alcohol prepared in the shape of the hot moxibustion is used as the fuel body 1.
As a moxibustion tool and an acupuncture tool.

Next, according to the second aspect of the invention, the solid alcohol prepared in the shape of warm moxibustion is used as the combustion body 1, and the fuel body 1 is fixed on the surface of the pedestal 2 that adheres to the affected area without leaving any gap. It constitutes a hot moxibustion tool and an acupuncture moxibustion tool.

Further, in the third aspect of the invention, the solid alcohol prepared in the shape of warm moxibustion is used as the combustion body 1, and the adhesive layer 4 which adheres to the affected area without leaving any gap is provided on one surface. Further, the fuel body 1 is fixed to the surface of the metal layer 4 of the pedestal 2 having good heat retention property, which has the metal layer 4 having good heat conductivity on the other surface, to form a moxibustion tool and an acupuncture tool. .

[0017]

Since the combustor 1 according to the present invention is formed of solid alcohol, the combustor 1 can be easily formed, and the amount of heat generated can be controlled by specifying the volume. Further, since the combustor 1 is formed of solid alcohol, it has good ignitability, can avoid the generation of smoke or odor, and can prevent the generation of combustion slag.
