Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auricular acupuncture equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable auricular acupuncture device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that auricular acupoints are the points on the surface of the auricle that communicate with the internal organs, meridians, tissues, organs, and limbs of the human body, and are also the locations where vital energy (qi) is transported. The therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on auricular acupoints are achieved through two mechanisms: first, the warming and medicinal effects of moxibustion on the acupoints; and second, the physical stimulation of the auricular needles on the meridian system. Modern medicine believes that auricular acupoints have a complex nerve distribution, and that vagus nerve fibers project directly to the nucleus tractus solitarius in the visceral areas of the auricle. Some studies also suggest that the mechanism of auricular therapy involves activating Aδ- and C-type afferent nerve excitation responses, thereby regulating bodily functions through extensive endocrine-immune interactions. Auricular moxibustion is effective for sleep disorders, and combining it with auricular acupuncture can further enhance its sedative, hypnotic, and calming effects.

[0003] Currently, when using moxibustion for auricular acupuncture in clinical practice, the moxa cone needs to be held in hand for treatment, and the temperature and distance need to be adjusted by hand, which is quite inconvenient. Because the skin and other soft tissues of the ear are thin, it is difficult to apply acupuncture combined with moxibustion, such as warm needle acupuncture. Therefore, we have proposed an adjustable auricular acupuncture device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
