Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine beauty technology, specifically to an ancient moxibustion beauty method and supporting device based on moxibustion therapy and facial acupoint stimulation. Background Technology

[0002] Facial beauty, as an important need in modern life, has long relied on various external technologies, with chemical skincare products and phototherapy devices being the most common examples. Chemical skincare products, through the application of lotions, serums, and other products containing active ingredients, aim to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. However, these products are often based on synthetic chemicals, and long-term use may cause skin allergies, dryness, or dependency, especially for people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, the effects of chemical skincare products are mostly limited to the skin's surface and cannot deeply regulate the internal balance of Qi and blood; the effects are usually short-lived, and rebound effects are common after discontinuation, such as recurring dullness or worsening acne. Phototherapy devices, including laser treatments and radiofrequency skin tightening, use physical energy to act on skin tissue, promoting collagen production or destroying pigment cells to achieve rapid cosmetic results. However, these methods are expensive, require professional training, and may be accompanied by side effects such as pain, redness, and burns. More importantly, photoelectric instruments focus on local modification and cannot harmonize the functions of internal organs from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. For fundamental skin problems caused by spleen and stomach weakness, liver qi stagnation, such as pigmentation or edema, they often only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and the effect is difficult to last.

[0003] In traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion, as a natural therapy, has a long history and is widely used for health maintenance and disease prevention. Moxibustion stimulates acupoints with the warmth generated by burning mugwort, which can unblock meridians, harmonize qi and blood, and improve overall health. Traditional moxibustion is often used on major acupoints, such as Zusanli and Guanyuan, and has significant effects on relieving pain and enhancing immunity. However, applying moxibustion directly to the face faces many challenges. Facial skin is thin and delicate, and acupoints are densely packed and sensitive. Key acupoints such as Quanliao and Yingxiang require precise stimulation, but traditional moxibustion tools, such as handheld moxa sticks or general moxibustion boxes, are crudely designed and difficult to adapt to facial contours, easily leading to temperature control issues, uneven heat distribution, and increased risk of burns. Furthermore, traditional methods lack precise control; the burning rate and temperature adjustment of the moxa stick rely on the operator's experience, resulting in insufficient safety and an inability to achieve gentle and continuous stimulation. While some existing technologies have attempted to introduce moxibustion into facial beauty treatments, most lack a systematic approach, using rudimentary tools such as simple moxibustion sticks, which fail to integrate facial anatomy and traditional Chinese and Western medical theories, resulting in limited effectiveness. Furthermore, these methods neglect the functions of expelling dampness and toxins, as well as the comprehensive benefits of nerve relaxation, thus failing to fully explore the potential of moxibustion in the beauty field. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an innovative method to organically combine moxibustion with facial acupoint stimulation, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies such as irritation, lack of persistence, and non-root cause issues, and achieving safe and effective beauty results.

[0004] From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the face is considered a reflex zone for the health of internal organs. Acupoints are connected to meridians such as the Stomach and Gallbladder meridians; poor blood and qi circulation can manifest as acne, pigmentation, or edema. Current cosmetic procedures often neglect this intrinsic connection, focusing only on external enhancements. While traditional moxibustion emphasizes holistic conditioning, its application to the face lacks specialized tools. For example, ordinary moxibustion devices often have poor ventilation, leading to smoke buildup or excessively high temperatures, making them unsuitable for delicate facial procedures. Furthermore, the high stress levels of modern life result in issues such as furrowed brows and deepened nasolabial folds, and current technologies cannot provide the added value of soothing the nerves. In conclusion, the background technology highlights a gap in the field of facial beauty: a specialized method and device are needed that combines the warming effect of moxibustion with the characteristics of facial acupoints to compensate for the shortcomings of chemical skincare products and photoelectric instruments, thereby improving the safety and fundamental conditioning capabilities of the beauty experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional moxibustion beauty method and supporting device based on moxibustion therapy and facial acupoint stimulation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution: a traditional moxibustion beauty method and supporting device based on moxibustion therapy and facial acupoint stimulation, comprising a shell, characterized in that the inner end of the shell is provided with a wooden plug cap, the end face of the shell is provided with ventilation holes, and the lower end of the shell is provided with a Bianstone base, the end face of the Bianstone base is provided with a round hole. The shell of this device serves as an integral support structure; the wooden plug cap is designed at the inner end for easy sealing and operation; the ventilation holes are located on the end face to regulate airflow, thereby affecting the burning state of the moxa stick. The Bianstone base is connected to the lower end of the shell, and the round hole on its end face allows for uniform heat dissipation. Combined with the beauty concept of traditional moxibustion, this structure ensures that the heat energy of moxibustion is precisely applied to the face. Traditional moxibustion is a method that combines traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion with facial acupoint stimulation, aiming to improve complexion and promote beauty. This combination of the shell and the Bianstone base provides a physical basis for facial application. Integrating the key components of the device, the shell provides stability, and the ventilation holes achieve preliminary temperature control, avoiding the problems of smoke accumulation or excessive temperature caused by insufficient ventilation in traditional moxibustion tools. The round hole design of the Bian stone base promotes even heat distribution, reducing the risk of localized burns. Compared to the rougher moxibustion devices in existing technologies, this structure is more suitable for delicate facial procedures, improving safety and comfort. By avoiding the use of chemical or photoelectric methods, this method regulates Qi and blood at the root, conforming to traditional Chinese medicine theory and enhancing the lasting beauty effects.

[0007] Furthermore, the end face of the Bianstone base is equipped with a Bianstone jar opening, the inner end of the wooden stopper cap has a placement groove, and the outer end of the placement groove has a rotating groove, which is fixed to the end face of the outer shell. The Bianstone jar opening on the end face of the Bianstone base optimizes the heat transfer path. The placement groove at the inner end of the wooden stopper cap is specifically used to fix the moxa stick or moxa segment, ensuring it does not shift during burning. The rotating groove at the outer end of the placement groove is fixed to the end face of the outer shell, facilitating adjustment of the device through rotation. The Bianstone jar opening design complements the comfortable and nourishing scraping experience, using natural Bianstone material, enhancing the device's functionality. The advantage of the Bianstone jar opening is that it concentrates heat output, improving moxibustion efficiency and preventing heat loss. The combination of the placement groove and the rotating groove makes the moxa stick more reliably fixed, reducing accidental slippage during operation and providing greater precision than traditional moxibustion tools. The fixed design of the rotating slot simplifies the assembly process and enhances the user experience. At the same time, the mouth of the Bianstone jar, combined with the properties of natural Bianstone, can release beneficial elements under warm stimulation, assisting in removing dampness and detoxifying, thus overcoming the inefficiency caused by the rudimentary tools in existing technologies.

[0008] Furthermore, the wooden cap and the outer shell are connected by a threaded structure, allowing the device to be opened or closed by rotating it. This threaded connection enables users to easily open or close the device with a simple rotation, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly. This design borrows from common sealing structures, ensuring the device remains stable during moxibustion and preventing loosening from affecting the effect. Emphasizing the refined requirements of traditional moxibustion, the threaded connection aligns with this philosophy, providing a reliable operating interface. It enhances the device's sealing and reusability; the threaded structure prevents heat leakage and improves temperature control accuracy. Compared to existing glued or snap-fit ​​methods, the threaded connection is more durable and easier to clean, reducing component wear. It simplifies the operation process, allowing even non-professionals to use it safely, avoiding the risk of burns caused by unstable tools in traditional moxibustion, and improving the overall safety of the beauty process.

[0009] Furthermore, the traditional moxibustion beauty method includes the steps of inserting moxa sticks or segments into the placement slot to ensure the moxa sticks are firmly in place, and then using an external heat source to fully ignite the moxa sticks to ensure continuous burning. This method involves inserting the moxa sticks or segments into the placement slot to ensure they are securely in place, and then using an external heat source such as a lighter to ignite the moxa sticks to ensure complete and continuous burning. Traditional moxibustion stimulates facial acupoints with the warmth of moxa, and this step is the core of the method, laying the foundation for subsequent moxibustion. Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the heat generated by the burning moxa sticks is key to regulating Qi and blood. The standardized operating procedure and the design of the placement slot ensure more precise fixation of the moxa sticks, avoiding displacement that could lead to uneven stimulation. Using an external heat source ensures reliable ignition, making it safer and more efficient than traditional methods. This step controls the quality of moxibustion from the source, reducing smoke or interruptions caused by incomplete burning, improving the stability of the beauty effect, and is superior to the crude practice of arbitrarily placing moxa sticks in existing technologies.

[0010] Furthermore, the ancient moxibustion beauty method includes the steps of screwing the Bianstone base onto the lower end of the outer casing to complete the device assembly, and rotating the wooden stopper cap to adjust the opening of the ventilation holes, thereby controlling the temperature. The assembly step of screwing the Bianstone base onto the lower end of the outer casing ensures the device is intact, and then rotating the wooden stopper cap to adjust the opening of the ventilation holes allows for precise control of internal airflow and temperature. The function of the ventilation holes is to achieve dynamic temperature management, combined with the gentle characteristics of ancient moxibustion, to avoid damage to facial skin. The device simplifies use; the screwing on of the Bianstone base ensures a secure fit, and the ventilation hole adjustment allows users to adjust the temperature in real time according to their skin type, achieving personalized care. It is more flexible than existing photoelectric instruments and avoids over-stimulation. This method improves controllability, reduces the risk of burns, and enhances the blood circulation-promoting effects of moxibustion through temperature optimization.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower surface of the Bianstone base features a smooth, curved design that conforms to the contours of the human face, closely fitting the facial skin and providing moxibustion stimulation to specific acupoints. Expanding on this, the lower surface of the Bianstone base utilizes a smooth, curved design to conform to facial contours, such as the cheekbones and cheeks, providing moxibustion stimulation to acupoints like Yingxiang and Dicang. Emphasizing the ancient moxibustion method's effect on improving facial complexion, this design directly relates to acupoint stimulation, using the heat of moxibustion to unblock meridians, achieving a comprehensive effect from regulating Qi and blood to improving appearance. The curved design enhances comfort and targeting, ensuring a close fit to prevent heat loss and guaranteeing even penetration of warmth. Compared to traditional flat tools, it is more adapted to facial anatomy, reducing discomfort from pressure, and specifically stimulating acupoints to enhance cosmetic effects, such as relieving puffiness and firming the skin, overcoming the shortcomings of existing tools that do not conform properly.

[0012] Furthermore, the method includes gently placing the device on the acupoints on the face through the Bianstone base during the burning of the moxa stick, and finely adjusting the opening and closing of the ventilation holes by rotating the wooden stopper cap in real time to control the burning rate and heat generation of the moxa stick, achieving dynamic controllability of the moxibustion temperature. While the moxa stick is burning, the device is gently placed on facial acupoints, such as the Quanliao or Yingxiang acupoints, through the Bianstone base, while simultaneously rotating the wooden stopper cap to adjust the opening and closing of the ventilation holes, controlling the burning rate and heat generation. The warmth of moxibustion can relax muscles; this step achieves dynamic temperature management, ensuring gentle and continuous stimulation. The advantage of dynamic control is improved safety and effectiveness; users can adjust the temperature according to their sensation, avoiding static overheating. It is more precise than traditional moxibustion, reducing damage to the skin, and by optimizing heat penetration through real-time adjustment, it enhances the effects of promoting blood circulation and soothing nerves, surpassing beauty instruments with fixed temperatures.

[0013] Furthermore, the method specifically emphasizes that during facial moxibustion, the operator must maintain gentle contact between the Bianstone base of the device and the skin surface, moving it slowly in circular motions to avoid burns from prolonged stillness. It stresses the importance of gentle contact between the Bianstone base and the skin during moxibustion, covering the acupoint area through slow circular movements to prevent burns from prolonged stillness.
