2. Description of the Related Art Recently, there are many cases of phytotoxicity due to administered drugs which are generally used as medical means.
Recently, it has been attempted in various fields to treat diseases by the natural healing power of the living body without using drugs, especially to treat chronic diseases and to maintain and promote health, and typical treatments or means for promoting health. As the moxibustion and acupuncture therapy are positioned as.

This moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion therapy effectively induces nerve reflex in the living body by applying thermal stimulation to 360 regular holes and 150 odd holes existing in the living body, and treats diseases, especially chronic diseases. I was trying to do.

[0004] Further, by heating the skin surface, a part of the tissue protein is destroyed, and the destroyed tissue protein is absorbed into the blood to increase leukocytes in the blood, which is used for health and tonic therapy to generate an immune system. Was there.

[0005]

However, in the conventional hot moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, it is general to use dried perennial grass mugwort from the viewpoint of the effect produced by the hot moxibustion and acupuncture and moxibustion.

In this grass wormwood, the veins or petioles of the leaves of wormwood are not mixed, and the young leaves of wormwood are well dried by shade drying and centrifuged so that the soft fur densely formed on the back of the leaves of wormwood is the main component. It was necessary to bleach the white cotton-like fibers with a separator and then anneal them for a long time.

The mugwort used has a mild temperature during combustion and feels that the heating is light, and it is necessary to minimize the burns that occur. Therefore, Komoro in Nagano Prefecture and Yao in Toyama Prefecture,
We use those from the production areas such as Arai in Niigata Prefecture and Ibukiyama in Shiga Prefecture.

From this point of view, in order to obtain good quality moxa, mugwort from a limited production area is collected at a limited collection period, and the collected mugwort is subjected to a lot of time and effort to obtain a soft cotton-like moxa. Therefore, there were many difficulties in obtaining a large amount of good quality moxa at low cost.

When such a moxa is used as a means of hot moxibustion or acupuncture, a large amount of smoke and a specific odor are generated during heating and burning, and this smoke or odor adheres to the body or clothes, or the space in the treatment room. It has a disadvantage that it adheres to a wall surface and stains clothes and a wall surface, and at the same time, a peculiar odor always remains.

Further, there is a disadvantage that a peculiar strong odor is brought to the user and the patient, causing uncomfortable feeling peculiar to the user and the patient who cannot adapt to the peculiar odor.

[0011] Further, the ignitability is difficult when the use is moist or when it is hardened and hardened, and it is necessary to take measures such as preparing a thick incense stick for ignition.

Further, when the moxa is burned, the muzzle falls from the acupuncture points, or the combustion ash collapses to contaminate the treatment area. Furthermore, since this type of moxa cannot be used repeatedly as a matter of course, it is always disposable, so that the pedestal used for traceless moxibustion is wasted.

In view of the inconvenience of such a conventional moxibustion or acupuncture and moxibustion tool which mainly uses moxa, the present invention has good ignitability, smoke and odor, and has a uniform moxibustion or acupuncture effect. The purpose is to provide a hot moxibustion tool or an acupuncture tool that is suitable for repeated use.
