Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carbonized moxa of a moxibustion needle used in oriental medicine, and in particular, it is odorless and smokeless when burned during acupuncture and moxibustion treatment by burning moxa into carbonized moxa. It relates to the charring moxa.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A moxibustion needle is a needle moxibustion means used in oriental medicine. A muzzle made from wormwood made by piercing the needle handle of the needle head is inserted into the acupuncture point of the human body or a stiff pain point. It is attached while kneading and hardening, and is ignited and burned, and is treated by a synergistic stimulating action with a needle puncture stimulus and acupuncture point heating by radiant heat of the gum. Therefore, it has a feature that the treatment effect is remarkable without suffering from burns (burns) on the skin at the acupuncture points and the site of pain unlike the conventional point moxibustion.

[0003]

However, in the prior art as described above, it is often the case that a part of the rubbed and hardened moxa drops off during burn treatment, causing skin burns.
In addition, the processing was complicated. Furthermore, when a specialist healer sequentially treats patients with multiple moxibustion needles in a closed air-conditioning treatment room, the odor of burning moxa and a large amount of smoke cause both the user and the patient to feel uncomfortable due to the difficulty of breathing. There was a problem that it caused a situation of coughing or feeling sick.

According to the present invention, attachment to a needle handle is simple and reliable, and burning is complete without burning unevenness or unburned portions remaining, and burnt down during burning, so that the burning moxa falls off on the skin. The purpose is to obtain a moxa that does not generate odor or smoke over the entire combustion time.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a method of manufacturing a carbonized moxa by firing the moxa, which is used as a conventional method, and forming a moxa. is there. There are various types of specific means for firing the wormwood into carbide, and the method is not particularly limited. For example, firewood charcoal may be put in from the bottom of the kiln, kerosene may be injected and fired, or it may be fired in an automated electric furnace in which the temperature and time during the firing process can be adjusted sequentially.

The molybdenum carbonization means of the present invention uses commonly used moth as a raw material, which is dried in advance and then stored in a container such as a mortar and tapped to separate roots, stalks, leaves and the like. Then, it is passed through a sieve of about 40 mesh and removed to obtain a completely moistened cotton.

In order to fire the above-mentioned purified moth, a kiln for refractory such as earth and bricks is formed for testing, an air inlet is opened in the lower part of the kiln, and a grate is arranged at an intermediate height position. Then, an inlet / outlet for the raw material moxa is formed on the upper peripheral wall in a sealable manner. An exhaust tower will be installed at the top of the kiln. Further, a gas burner insertion port is formed at an equal interval on a peripheral wall below the grate of the kiln.

The raw material moxa which is placed on the grate of the kiln and fired is formed into a round bar having a desired length by manually rubbing an appropriate amount. These are arranged and stacked on a grate and baked with a flame from the lower gas burner. The burned and carbonized moxa is taken out from the grate, cut to a desired length, and then a hole is bored in the direction of the central axis from the center of the peripheral surface with a drill or a thin drill to form a carbonized moxa.

[0009]

[Function] If the roots, stalks, leaves, etc. are not removed from the raw material moxa, unburned parts remain in the baking process, causing uneven burning, which may cause some odors and smoke during burning treatment. If carbonization is attempted, there is a drawback in that the whole is over-fired and ash is generated.

In the firing process, the raw material moxa is processed by adjusting the jet amount of the gas burner while an expert observes the color tone of the burning flame and moxa and the color of the exhaust gas through the sight glass. The temperature and time of heating by the gas burner vary depending on the humidity of the raw material mastication, the diameter of the rod-shaped mastication and the degree of stacking, and are processed by experience.

The carbonized moxa that has been fired is in the form of a long rod, and is cut and molded into a desired length corresponding to the needle treatment time. Acupuncture time is usually divided into 5 minutes and 10 minutes,
It is determined by the symptoms of the affected area and the treatment policy of the practitioner. Correspondingly, the cutting length is determined by judging the therapeutic burning rate and the diameter and length of the carbonized moxa. In general, the one obtained by cutting a round rod-shaped carbonized moxa has a shape-retaining property that the ash that remains during treatment does not collapse and does not fall onto the skin surface even when completely burned during treatment. Therefore, if the needle is sandwiched between the fingers and the needle is pulled out, the ash does not stain the skin surface.

In the treatment with a moxibustion needle, the needle portion of the needle may be inserted into the acupuncture point in advance, and the needle handle may be ignited by interposing and supporting the hole portion of the carbonized mica. After the carbonized moxa is attached to the handle, the needle part may be inserted into the acupuncture point and then ignited. The burning carbonized moxa has a space from the acupuncture point through the needle, and the acupuncture point is treated by being heated by radiant heat of combustion heat to be treated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a needle 1 is inserted into an acupuncture point on a skin surface 2 or a site 3 of a sore pain. The needle 1 is integrally formed with a needle handle 5 having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the puncture portion 4 from the upper end of the puncture portion 4 in the axially upward direction. A carbonized moxa 6 is attached to the needle handle 5 through a hole 7.

The carbonized moxa 6 is made of wormwood, and the dense and hard parts such as stalks, roots, etc. are removed to leave only the cotton-like part, and the cotton-like moxa is formed into a round bar shape. It is housed in a kiln and fired while controlling a controllable heat power to form a carbonized moxa, which is cut and formed into a cylindrical shape having a desired length.

[0015]

[Effect] Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. The moxibustion needle made of carbonized moxa that is attached to the needle handle of the therapeutic needle has a great therapeutic effect due to the synergistic effect of the stimulation of the insertion of the acupuncture point by the puncture part and the heating stimulation by the radiation heat of the moxa. Furthermore, carbonized moxa does not generate odor and smoke, and moxibustion acupuncture is applied to multiple places at once, and even if multiple patients are treated at the same time, the patient does not feel discomfort and is comfortable without being burned or damaged. It is possible to treat them.

Further, the carbonized moxa is porous and extremely light, and even if the muzzle is attached to the needle head, the inserted needle will not be displaced by the weight and the skin muscles will not feel any pain. Also, even if it is burned to treat a cylindrical carbonized moxa, the ash after burning does not collapse and retains the shape before burning, part of it collapses and the hot ash damages the skin of the acupuncture points. It does not get dirty or dirty.
