Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the damage of a skin and to enable execution of moxibustion at a home by a method wherein hot mugwort component pass holes are formed in a bed seat for carrying a mugwort on the upper surface of which a running-around type flat mugwort molded substance is held, and a needle is mounted to the under surface of the bed seat in a manner to be protruded downward from the bottom of the bed seat. CONSTITUTION:A bed seat 1 for carrying a mugwort is wholly formed in a disc-shape, and a recessed groove 4 for holding a spiral and plane mugwort molded substance 2 formed such that the mugwort is burnt in a running-around manner is spirally formed in the upper part of the bed seat. A side wall 6 of the recessed groove 4 is formed in a taper shape narrowing toward below, and mugwort component pass holes 5 are formed in s bottom at intervals of a given distance. The one end of a needle 3 is embedded in the central part of the under surface of the bed seat 1 in a manner to be protruded downward from the under surface of the bed seat. The action of a so formed moxibustion device is such that heat generated from a mugwort molded substance is absorbed by the bed seat for carrying a mugwort to convert it into warm heat, and the generation heat and the nutritious component of the mugwort passing through a plurality of heat mugwort component pass holes formed in a bed seat penetrate an affected part. Further, when combustion of the mugwort molded substance is extended to a heat conduction needle, a thermal stimulus is rapidly increased and reduced momentarily and restored to its original warm heat. Upon completion of combustion, warm heat contained in the bed seat for carrying a mugwort produces a surplus heat, and brings a portion stimulated due to a thermal stimulus into a tranquilized state.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a moxibustion device that makes it possible to perform moxibustion at home by effectively utilizing the heat generated by moxa and a needle that conducts it. In addition, regarding a moxibustion device that does not cause blisters even for people with sensitive skin and has a therapeutic effect comparable to that of direct inflammation, it also uses a combination of natural active ingredients in combination with certain heat stimulation and nutritional ingredients on the skin. This is an ideal moxibustion device for indirect moxibustion that was developed to enhance the therapeutic effect of moxibustion while supplying heat.

[Conventional technology]

Of the various types of non-scarring moxibustion, indirect moxibustion and space moxibustion that have various methods, the use of the moxibustion warm needle shown in Figure 7 is the pricking needle (21).
The needle is inserted into the area of stiffness or pain (acupuncture points) on the skin (22), and the nine lengths (23) are divided into two and placed on the top of the needle (21), so that the heat generated by the woman is transmitted through the needle (21). This is a therapy that spreads subcutaneously to promote treatment. Also, the 81st packing of conventional products that are currently in the spotlight for single-directed moxibustion! 1 and shown in FIG. The one in Figure 8 is on a pedestal (24
) is integrated by fixing and gluing a certain paper roll column (26) to the upper part of which has a heating element passage hole (25) penetrating through the center, and the one shown in Figure 9 is a cylindrical paper cylinder (27). ) is made by press-fitting Hand Massage X (2g) and integrating it. Furthermore, conventionally, as shown in Figure 1θ, a table (29) of processed materials such as salt, miso, ginger, garlic, loquat leaves, etc. or natural ingredients is pasted on the skin at fixed points on the skin, which is called space moxibustion. A certain amount (30) is placed on top of it and used as a therapeutic tool,
In modern times, priority is given to gentle heat stimulation applied to the skin, and powdered miso or elongated ginger and garlic are placed inside a paper roll (26) and placed on a pedestal (
24) Indirect moxibustion shown in Fig. 8, which is glued to the body, is the mainstream.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] First of all, in order to make the moxibustion warm needle as shown in FIG. 7 into a moxibustion device suitable for home use, the following changes must be made. ■Moxibustion is usually performed at home, but since moxibustion that involves manipulating needles (21) into acupuncture points is performed by an acupuncturist, patients who desire this type of moxibustion are forced to visit the hospital each time. ■Circle the upper part of the needle (21) inserted into the skin (22)!
In moxibustion performed by holding (23), there is a wide gap between the skin (22) and a certain point, so even if the length is burned, the nutritional components will diffuse and cannot reach the affected area. ■The moxa support pedestal (1) shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which was already proposed in JP-A No. 61-185266, which is the basis of the present invention, uses the heat generated by the moxa molded body (2) formed into a flat plate. The residual heat is applied to the affected area by storing heat, but with the above-mentioned moxibustion warm needle, there is no other option than waiting until the local area excited by the heat stimulation subsides over time. Second, the indirect moxibustion shown in Fig. 8 requires heat component passage holes (25
) penetrates, so the paper-wrapped column (26) is directly connected to the skin at regular intervals. In the indirect moxibustion shown in Fig. 9, the cylindrical paper tube (27) below the part where the length of the hand massage is fixed serves as a hole for the passage of heat components and is directly connected to the skin. therefore,
Both bilateral moxibustion has the following problems. C) Since the length is vertically long, even if it starts burning, it takes a long time for the skin to feel the heat stimulation. (b) Due to the structure of the heat component passage hole, the thermal stimulation caused by setting the fire just before the completion of combustion directly assaults the skin and tends to cause fissures on the skin. (c) The duration from when the amount of heat in the hair begins to stimulate the skin to when it is completed is short. (d) In the indirect moxibustion shown in Figure 8, one paper roll columnar length (26) is placed on the pedestal (
24) Since it is shaped to stand upright, even if the length is burnt, the nutritional ingredients will be diffused and the amount effectively administered to the skin will be small. In the indirect moxibustion shown in FIG. 9, since the diameter of the cylindrical paper tube (27) is smaller than the height, the tube often falls over on the highly curved skin. (E) In the indirect moxibustion shown in Fig. 8, when the paper roll columnar length (26) is glued directly above the heat component passage hole (25) of the pedestal (24), it is covered with adhesive, so the nutritional components are supplied. The effect is weak. jFor indirect moxibustion in Figure I59, one cylindrical paper tube (two
7) is filled with hand massage (28), causing a phenomenon that prevents air circulation, and sometimes disappears. Thirdly, although moxibustion using natural elements is still popular among many users today, it is broadly divided into therapies based on family traditions at treatment clinics and therapies independently researched and developed by acupuncturists. . In any case, basically the natural arrangement (
Place the medium of 29) on a fixed point on the skin, and place 1 (3) on top of it.
Since the treatment is carried out by piling up and burning moxibustion, the natural boiling liquid acts synergistically with the heat stimulation of the jang, leaving large and deep moxibustion scars. Some cases are said to be so severe that even suppuration occurs after moxibustion. Therefore, indirect moxibustion is performed by wrapping powder or shredded natural elements in a paper roll (26) as shown in Figure 8. In this method, the natural elements are diffused into the atmosphere together with the ingredients of the length, and the affected area is treated with moxibustion. Not only does it have a small effect on the environment, but it is also undesirable to use garlic moxibustion, which emits a pungent odor characteristic of garlic. Since the heat injection time of the certain paper-wrapped column (26) is shorter than the combustion time, the heating element passage hole (26) in the pedestal (24) is
5) The nutritional ingredients are not working effectively. The pedestal itself does not have a structure that injects residual heat. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, based on the moxibustion device previously developed by the present inventor and proposed in JP-A-61-185266, various improvements and additions were made to this device. It is. That is, first of all, a deformed body (2) is formed using a detour-shaped flat plate.
In a moxibustion device that has a heating moxa component passage hole (5) for a moxa support pedestal (1) that holds the moxa support on the upper surface, a needle (3) is placed on the lower surface of the moxa support pedestal (1) below the bottom surface of the pedestal. It was decided to make it protrude. Next, the second problem is that the moxa holding pedestal (1) is provided with a cavity (7) on the bottom side of the pedestal, and the bottom of this cavity (7) is
This problem was solved by providing a shielding isolation sheet (9) that had a communication hole (lO) with a part of the cavity, and the third problem was solved by installing a natural element inside the cavity on the bottom side of the pedestal. This made it a more complete moxibustion device. Desirable materials for the needle include metal, flame-retardant resin, wood, bamboo, etc. When using metal, the part that will adhere to the skin may be plated or coated or coated with a rust preventive agent. The cavities (7) are a plurality of independent cavities along the spiral shape of the moxa molded body (2), and the size of the cavities is large on the combustion start side of the moxa molded body and small on the combustion end side to reduce the heat accumulated in each cavity. By equalizing the stimulation temperature and creating a temporal lag,
To lengthen the overall heating duration. The size and number of certain component passage holes (5) and the communication holes (10
) changes the size and position of The third problem is that the cavity (7) on the bottom side of the moxa holding pedestal (1)
The problem was solved by installing a natural ceramic material (12) inside the container (12) and indirectly applying heat treatment to the combustion heat of the detour-shaped 1μ plate-shaped molded material (2). The natural material (12) is made of water-resistant paper or non-woven fabric to prevent natural material kisses and herbal medicine extracts from evaporating and drying, and to prevent the molded material from disappearing due to natural body moisture during combustion. It is placed in a colored water container, and the bottom is covered with adhesive release paper with a handle and sealed. The natural steel-containing body components used here have the effect of warming the body, and examples of commonly available plants include garlic, ginger,
There are loquat leaves, mountain ridges, daikon radish, and shikai, and as herbal medicines, safflower, hamanbofu, sanjitsu, dokkatsu, yellow cypress, cinnamon bark, white radish, and hosashi are suitable. Other processed ingredients that are customarily used include salt and miso. The combustion heat of the moxa molded body held on the top surface of the moxa support pedestal acts on the sponge-like substance impregnated with these concentrated extracts, and the volatile components are administered. The appearance of the detoured moxa molded body (2) is that if the tip protrudes from the recess provided on the top surface of the moxa support base and is tapered, it will be easier to ignite, and the length will be longer than the point where combustion begins in earnest. The second hole is made wider, and the second hole is made slightly narrower than when it passes through the first hole.
In front of the hole, one side of the width expands into an arc to cover the hole, and then gradually narrows toward the tip to maintain a balance with the amount of heat absorbed by the mosaic support pedestal.

[Effect]

First, the action of the needle (3) described in item 1 of the present invention will be described. The detour-type flat plate-shaped moxibustion device supplies nutritional ingredients while administering a unique heat that does not burn the skin, but the moxibustion device is equipped with a needle, especially a heat-conducting wire. It can be easily attached using the adhesive applied to the back of the pedestal by pressing it to the extent that the human body's flexible and elastic epidermis becomes concave. The action of the attached moxibustion device is to reduce the heat generated from the long molded body to a certain moxibustion temperature.
The action of the holding table seat absorbs heat and converts it into heat. In parallel to this, certain generated heat and nutritional components that have sequentially passed through the plurality of heating moth component passage holes provided in the moth support base have the effect of penetrating into the affected area. While continuing to do both,
The heat follows a gentle upward curve as shown in Fig. 11, but when the combustion of the mosaic molding reaches the heat conductive wire, the thermal stimulus suddenly drops and returns to the original temperature. When the combustion is completed, the heat contained in the moxa support pedestal becomes residual heat, which guides the area that has been excited by the heat stimulation to calm down. The temperature at which blisters and burns occur was investigated by conducting clinical tests comparing and contrasting the conventional needle pricking product (moxibustion warm needle) and the product of the present invention. Although it was difficult to determine the thermal resistance value of the skin as it differs from person to person, it was confirmed that blisters and burns generally occur at temperatures of 52 to 55°C. Although the degree of damage to the epidermis was apparently minor in all cases, it appears that the inflammation with the conventional product had spread to deep subcutaneous tissue. Table 1 is a comparison table that concretely expresses the matters experienced at that time. Table 1 General classification: Indirect moxibustion, which produces a low temperature, is suitable for beginners, young women, and people with sensitive skin, while indirect moxibustion, which produces a high temperature, is suitable for experts who are familiar with moxibustion. Suitable for people familiar with moxibustion and people with sensitive skin. Since the moxibustion device according to item 1 of the present invention includes an element that becomes high temperature, it should be classified in the field of high temperature moxibustion devices. Secondly, the function of the cavity (7) and the shielding isolation seam 1-(9) described in the second aspect of the present invention will be described. With direct flame, you feel a sensation of heat as soon as it is ignited, but with indirect moxibustion, the time for administering the heat stimulus is short compared to the waiting time for the heat stimulus to arrive. Since this defect is caused by the structure, the present invention
A plurality of heat molybdenum component passage holes are passed through the base for supporting the molybdenum.For example, in the case of 4 holes, the combustion length first passes through the first hole, then sequentially continues to the 2nd and 3rd hole, just before the center. It is completed through the fourth hole. By forming the first hole in an elliptical shape that is wider than the outer wall of the moxa support base, the amount of heat and nutritional components administered becomes more active, leading to increased supply. The moxa supporting pedestal absorbs and stores the heat generated by the moxa molded body, but when it reaches a saturation temperature, it radiates heat and provides intense thermal stimulation to the skin. In addition, the amount of heat that passes through the heat component passage hole is concentrated and pushes down the lower part as thermal pressure, so pressure is added to the amount of heat and causes skin problems such as blisters and burns. It prevents such heat damage and supports uniform heat continuity. An example is shown in FIG. In the present invention, the heat moiety component passage hole is shaped into an ellipse, a circle, a sector, or the like depending on the amount of heat generated by the mosaic molded body, and the structure is such that the amount of heat corresponding to the planar area is supplied to the lower mechanism. The lower cavity becomes a "thermal pressure retention tumor", and when the amount of heat generated by the molded moxa passes through the heat moiety component passage hole, the heat and pressure are temporarily retained and relieved. In indirect moxibustion, it is important to increase the distance to the skin, and by not directly connecting the heat component passage hole to the skin,
The heat generated by the molybdenum molded body is adjusted to an appropriate temperature. In order to satisfy this requirement, a ``shielding and isolation sheet'' was fixedly glued to the back of the pedestal for carrying one mole. This shielding isolation sheet is inside the heat pressure retention cavity other than the first hole. J. The "small hole" provided at the tip in the burning direction changes the direction of the relaxed mature woman component and supplies it to the affected area at an appropriate temperature. Thirdly, the action of the natural compound entity (12) provided in the cavity (7) according to the third aspect of the present invention will be described. The natural compound in this part is floating above the bottom of the pedestal (1) and does not come into close contact with the skin, and since it is indirectly heated by burning the moxa molded body through the packaging container, moxibustion marks may remain. gently without causing suppuration, and 1
Volatile components vaporized by heating for nearly 0 minutes can irritate the skin. Heat stimulation dilates blood vessels and promotes blood flow, but when a gas containing a large amount of volatile components and a dry gas are irradiated at the same temperature and for the same time, the large amount of molecules present is due to the content of volatile components. Since it is a gas with a lot of energy, the skin receives a lot of energy. In addition, since gases containing large amounts of volatile components adhere to the skin and remain there for a long time, they have an extremely large effect on treatment. The present invention will be specifically explained below using Examples.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. As is clear from these figures, the moxa-carrying pedestal (1) is generally disk-shaped as a whole, with a diameter of about 18 m and a height of about 5 kaku. A concave groove (4) is spirally formed on the upper surface of the moxa supporting pedestal (1) so as to hold a spiral and planar moxa molded body (2) formed so as to burn in a roundabout manner on the upper surface. ing. The side wall (6) of this groove (4) has a downwardly tapered shape as shown in FIG. 2, and the bottom surface of the groove (4) has certain component passage holes (5 ) is provided. A needle (3) is placed in the center of the bottom surface of such a moxa holding pedestal (1).
It is buried so that one end protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the pedestal. The needle (3) is made of copper plated with chrome plating and has a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, and the protruding part is approximately 1 to 2 meters.
It is. This needle contacts the skin to the extent that it slightly indents the skin surface, but does not pierce it.Thus, the needle (3) is placed in a particularly high temperature state at a certain fire in the final stage of combustion of the moxa molded body (2). Moreover, the heating time is significantly longer than the conventional curve 1 in Figure 11, and as shown in curve 11, one moxibustion device can be used for both low-temperature and high-temperature indirect moxibustion. be.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 3 is a plan view of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. This example is designed to maintain a temperature of 40-50 degrees Celsius, which is on the verge of burns, for a long time so that even people with sensitive skin will not experience blisters and will have a therapeutic effect comparable to that of direct flames. be. For this purpose, a wide cavity (7) is provided on the bottom side of the moxa holding base (1), and a shielding isolation sheet made of paper has a communication hole (1G) with the negative part of the cavity (7). (9
) was established. Figures 3 and 4 are examples of this, and the same as in Figure 1, there is a groove (4) on the top surface of the pedestal for supporting one mole (1) in which the spiral shaped mole molded body (2) is buried. However, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 and the cross section in FIG. 4, a cavity (7) is provided in the bottom surface. In this example, the four cavities (71) to (74) are the grooves (
4), and the cavity (71) has a large length component communication hole (51) that communicates with the groove (4), and is so large that the bottom of the groove (4) is almost completely absent. ing. Then, the cavity and the length component communication hole are made smaller toward the end of the groove (4), that is, toward the center of the moxa support pedestal (1), in order to equalize the temperature on the skin surface due to combustion. ing. FIG. 12 shows the relationship between the cross-twisting baking time and the skin attitude under each space, and it is clear from this that the heating peak exhibits a wide peak as a whole. The lower surface of each space is covered with a shielding isolation sheet (9) such as paper attached to the bottom surface of the mosaic holding pedestal (1). This sheet (9) has a communication hole (1) smaller than the cavity (7).
0) is opened, so that heat exchange components are retained in the cavity, sustaining the generated heat and providing appropriate humidity. This degree of adjustment can be made by changing the position, size, and number of holes, and by shifting the position of the upper certain component communication hole (5), it is possible to increase the distance to the skin even though it is a flat plate. Underneath the shielding isolation sheet (9) there is an adhesive layer (14) and a release paper (15), and in use, the release paper (15) is peeled off and attached to the skin by the adhesive layer (14). The wall (6) on the outer periphery of the pedestal near the end of the detoured groove (4) is removed to form an inclined surface (13) to prevent the moxa molded body (2) from disappearing. (Embodiment 3) Fig. 5 is a plan view of the third embodiment, and Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line C-C in Fig. 5. It is characterized by having a natural inclusion body (12) inside.This product allows the effective extract of the natural inclusion body (12) to be absorbed into the skin by the heat accompanying the combustion of the natural inclusion body (2). Here, as a natural inclusion (12), a non-woven fabric with a thickness of about 21 mm and a size of about 14 mm impregnated with a concentrated extract of garlic, which is a Chinese herbal medicine, is used as a natural inclusion body (12) in an undried state. A container (16) was used, which was wrapped in a container (16) and the bottom surface was sealed with a release paper (17) with a handle.This was placed in the cavity (7) as shown in Fig. 6. 1) is different from the second case in that it has an almost ring-shaped opening at the top and bottom, and the supporting horizontal bar (18) spans between the outer wall and the spiral protrusion to support the moxa molded body (2). [Effects of the invention] Moxibustion as a symptomatic treatment is to use a number of moxibustions that produce a low temperature when the body has chills, and to reduce the number of moxas that produce a high temperature when the body is tired and the pulse rate is somewhat high. In addition, since the body's sensitivity to moxibustion differs depending on the part of the body where moxibustion is applied, having a variety of moxibustion devices ranging from low to high temperatures is a good way to respond to the diversified tastes of modern society. The moxibustion device of the invention has the effect of meeting the above requirements by appropriately combining one or more implants.Furthermore, the conventional therapy in which a treatment needle is inserted into the affected area and burnt is performed by an acupuncturist. However, the present invention was able to bring acupuncture to the home and provide a moxibustion device that eliminates the strange sensation of needle pricking.
