Electric moxibustion device

Abstract

An electric moxibustion device having high operability and safety and capable of efficiently and reliably causing a loquat-leaf extract to penetrate into and under the skin of an affected part. An electric moxibustion device (1) is provided with: a tubular case (2) having a front end open; a heater unit (4) provided within the case (2) at a position near the front end opening; and a cap (5) consisting of a heat resistant rubber and removably mounted to the front end opening of the case (2). The heater unit (4) comprises a heat transfer metallic plate (7) and a heat generating element (6) which is fixed to the rear surface of the heat transfer metallic plate (7) and which generates heat by electricity supplied from an external electric power source (3) or a battery. The cap (5) has, provided at the center of the front end surface thereof, a discharge opening (14) for discharging heat from the heat generating element (6). A member (10) for absorbing and retaining a chemical liquid, such as a loquat-leaf extract, is provided within the case (2) at a position between the heat transfer metallic plate (7) and the discharge opening (14) of the cap (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electric moxibustion device that applies warm heat generated by electricity to an affected part instead of the combustion heat of dry moxa, and particularly relates to an electric moxibustion device that can penetrate the skin of the affected part by active ingredients contained in loquat leaves and the like. A new type of electric moxibustion device for moxibustion therapy. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, various warm moxibustion treatments are known for the purpose of giving warm stimulation to the affected area, improving blood circulation, eliminating muscle fatigue, relieving muscle soreness, relieving neuralgia and muscle pain, and invigorating gastrointestinal motility. device. [0003] On the other hand, the raw leaves of loquat have been called "doctor-free" in the past, and are widely used in various places. For example, by repeatedly roasting the surfaces of two loquat leaves with fire, rub...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In addition, due to the smoke when dry moxa burns, there are some troubles such as having to give up use in some places, after-treatment of dried moxa that has burned and turned into ashes, replacement of liquid medicine absorption and holding materials, or it is difficult to adjust to your liking. temperature, and when the combustion of dried mugwort is weak, the loquat leaf extract is difficult to vaporize, etc.
