Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, specifically relating to a protective cover for a gourd-shaped moxibustion device. Background Technology

[0002] Gourd moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy widely used to treat various diseases and for health maintenance. It involves using a gourd as a container to burn mugwort leaves, generating heat and smoke for moxibustion. The gourd has heat-retaining properties, and the mugwort leaves contain abundant volatile oils. The heat and smoke produced after burning can directly deliver the medicinal properties to the body through the gourd. However, the gourd used in gourd moxibustion is unstable; movement or vibration by the patient can easily cause the gourd to move or fall and break. When the gourd falls, the burning mugwort leaves inside can spill out, causing burns to the patient, thus reducing its safety. Therefore, a new type of protective cover for gourd moxibustion devices is designed to overcome these technical defects. Utility Model Content
