Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Purpose of the invention (1) Industrial application field This invention relates to a moxibustion device that uses medicinal herbs.

(2) Conventional technology Moxibustion, which has been used since ancient times, involves twisting dried moxa into particles, applying it to the skin, and then lighting it with incense sticks.The moxa emits smoke and heat to treat the affected area on its own. It is something that However, moxibustion can cause pain or leave scars due to burns, so in recent years, moxibustion has been developed, in which people fill a ceramic vase with moxas, ignite the moxas, and apply them to the affected area while burning. utensils are also used.

(3) Problems that the invention aims to solve However, in the above-mentioned moxibustion device, the acupuncture points easily fall off because the acupuncture points do not have lids, and the patient himself/herself must apply the acupuncture points to the affected parts of the body, such as the back or waist. However, there were other drawbacks such as the need for special moth burning sticks.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to fix the arm rod to the crucible and attach a magnetic lid to the crucible so that the moxa packed inside the crucible can be released. To provide a moxibustion device that can be used to easily treat the back, waist, etc. of the body by oneself by using ordinary dried moxa.

Structure of the Device (1) Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a moxibustion device that can be used for self-medication by storing medicinal herbs in a crucible and applying it to the affected area while burning it. The arm rod 12 has elasticity, the crucible 16 is fixed to the tip of the arm rod, has a large number of ventilation holes 14, and has a magnetic material fixed to at least its upper edge, and the crucible 16.
A lid 20 with a magnet 18 that is attracted to the opening of the
The moxibustion device 10 is characterized in that medicinal herbs 24 are stored in the crucible 16 and brought into contact with the affected area while being burned, and the affected area is self-treated by emitting smoke and heat from the crucible. Ru.

(2) Effect When using the moxibustion device of the present invention to self-medicate the affected area of the body, fill the crucible with medicinal herbs such as dried moxa, ignite the moxa, and then cover the crucible with a lid that utilizes the adsorption effect of a magnet. The crucible is attached to the opening of the crucible, and then the crucible is brought into contact with the affected area while grasping the arm rod. The smoke from burning the moxa permeates the affected area while being discharged through the vents of the crucible, and the heat from burning the moxa is conducted to the affected area, promoting metabolism and relieving pain and stiffness in the affected area. You can easily perform self-medication for your back, lower back, etc. while holding the elastic armrest.

(3) Embodiments Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the moxibustion device 1 of the present invention
0 is an elastic arm rod 12 that is curved into an L shape.
An iron crucible 16 is fixed to the tip of the arm rod 12 and has a large number of ventilation holes 14, and a lid 20 is provided inside with a magnet 18 that attracts the opening of the crucible 16. There is.

As shown in FIG. 2, the crucible 16 is circular, but may also be rectangular or polygonal, and the vent hole 14 is approximately 5 mm.
It is in the radial position.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the lid 20 is of a cap type, and has a magnet 18 fixed therein and a handle 22 protruding from the top surface.

Then, after stuffing the crucible 16 with dried moss 24 and igniting it, and attaching the lid 20, as shown in FIG. Apply pressure to the affected area from the top of your underwear and palpate it while applying pressure.

Since the arm rod 12 has elasticity, even if it is strongly pulled, no pressure is applied to the contact part of the crucible 16 due to the elasticity of the arm rod 12, and since the crucible 16 is equipped with a lid 20. Even if it is displaced diagonally or laterally, the internal drying mosaic 24 will not fall off.
People who self-medicate can self-medicate with a moxibustion device in a stable condition. The lid 20 can be easily removed by grasping the handle 22 on the top surface, and the drying rack 24 inside can be easily replaced. Moreover, according to this moxibustion device, there is no discomfort when using it. In addition to dried moxa, other medicinal herbs such as dried loquat leaves may also be used to enhance the self-medication effect of moxibustion.

In this example, the crucible body is made of iron, but other metals with high thermal conductivity, ceramics, or porcelain may also be used. , the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the moxibustion device of the present invention has a crucible at the tip of the L-shaped arm rod, and a magnetic lid is attached to the crucible, so that it can be used on the back of the body and The patient can easily self-medicate for the lower back, etc., and can effectively self-medicate by himself/herself without feeling uncomfortable about the affected area.
