Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a moxibustion device and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] Moxibustion therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment method that uses moxa as its primary material, which is then burned to directly or indirectly ignite acupuncture points on the body. Traditional Chinese medicine theory posits that moxibustion warms the meridians and dredges the collaterals, elevates yang and lifts deficient qi, activates blood circulation, dispels cold and dampness, reduces swelling and resolves nodules, and restores yang and relieves adverse conditions. Moxibustion is often used for both medical treatment and self-care. It is particularly effective for chronic debilitating conditions and those caused by wind, cold, and dampness.

[0003] The knee joint is an important weight-bearing joint in the human body. It is composed of the patella, femur, and tibia.
